This must all be pretty demoralizing if you're an honest US citizen. What's the incentive to be honest when everyone else is cheating and getting away with it at your expense?
No. Fraud subject is great to rile the public to action, but the amount of fraud that happens is so low, it is minute to the benefits of the program, and thus the program is considered effective. Secondly, every person who has committed some fraud is always looking over their shoulder for years. Fraudsters in Hurricane Katrina damages were caught ten years later.
