If every individual recieving any government benifit is given a national ID complete with fingerprints (snce they can’t be forged) and ID must be verified in person every 3 months to continue benifits, would this help eliminate the amount of $$ that is stolen from the taxpayers every year?
I suppose every bit helps. It would help control some that’s done by maintaining different identities in different states. But the task of verification every three months would be far more trouble than its worth and would probably be completely impractical.

No, it would slow the crooks down until they figured something out (hacking into the system, fake fingerprints etc).
Some crooks are pretty smart. . . just too lazy to work legitmate jobs.

So you want a really expensive and government heavy fix for a comparatively small problem?
Let’s leave Big Brother out of it and let the local fraud units do their jobs.

Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Bernie Madoff, Rod Blagojevich, et al, steal more from you in a week than all the welfare fraud ever committed.

Maybe, but wouldn’t it be a jackpot for identity theives?
