Welfare fraud amongst citizens and immigrants with anchor babies is widespread despite the forthcoming downvotes and wtf's from our resident wannabe SJW's.

We spend $600 billion in the military. Around $60 billion on food stamps. You tell me which one we can get greater savings on.

You left out the medicaid part of the story. BIG surprise.

Agreed. Assume 10% fraud waste and abuse (your number which I assume is high). We can spend a bunch of money to track it down in the military and recover $60 billion. Or $6 billion for food stamps. And we spend $650 billion on Medicare for $65 billion.

Now more than ever. Abundance. Dick.

Another non sequitur argument...nobody is arguing a private army vs. a govt-run army and the comparing the efficiency of either. In fact, you bitching like a little girl about the inefficiency of the military proves my earlier point...govt never does anything efficiently. And saying as you did before that Medicare and Medicaid magically breaks that mold is FS.

But carry on now displaying your intelligence for all to see...

Yet you skip over the point that your chosen Messiah wants​ to pork another $54 billion into the military.

There's a shit ton of waste in private too. Dumbfuck.

There's waste everywhere, but do you really want to compare government waste vs private sector waste? I don't think you'll win that one...

medicare's overhead is lower than private health insurance

Sure...if you ignore everything

Keep arguing govt is more efficient...(almost) everybody realizes that is a FS argument.

This is when you know you've won the argument:

The paper goes on to discuss how private insurance bests Medicare on quality, but this excerpt is long enough. For more on the comparison between private health insurance premiums and per-enrollee Medicare spending, see this blog post, where I conclude, “If [this comparison] were a farm animal, and social scientists farmers, they would have to take it behind the barn and put a bullet in its head.”
