The Senate’s chief investigative committee on Monday will release a report laying out a major scheme to bilk Social Security’s disability system, accusing a small-town Kentucky lawyer of colluding with a judge to approve bogus cases, in a scheme that appears to expose major holes in how Social Security polices itself.

In a detailed report being released Monday in conjunction with a hearing on the subject, the investigators lay out a stunning scheme that involved the lawyer, Eric C. Conn, Administrative Law Judge David B. Daugherty, dishonest doctors, disposable phones, shredded documents and millions of dollars in profits — taken straight from taxpayers through the Social Security system.

“Mr. Conn and Judge Daugherty had collaborated on a scheme that enabled the judge to approve, in assembly-line fashion, hundreds of clients for disability benefits using manufactured medical evidence,” the investigators concluded.

This is sickening! No wonder why we are so broke!  :argh:

"We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise. We laugh at honor and are shocked to find traitors in our midst. We castrate and then bid the geldings to be fruitful."

C.S. Lewis

A community may possess all the necessary moral qualifications, in so high a degree, as to be capable of self-government under the most adverse circumstances; while, on the other hand, another may be so sunk in ignorance and vice, as to be incapable of forming a conception of liberty, or of living, even when most favored by circumstances, under any other than an absolute and despotic government.

John C Calhoun, "Disquisition on Government", 1840
