The GOP push to cut unemployment benefits is the welfare argument, all over again

While there isn’t a lot of hard data on welfare fraud, studies on specific programs show fraud is exceedingly rare. (In one program, a study discovered just $11 in fraudulently distributed money for every $10,000 spent by the program.) And Democrats say Republicans consistently prioritize tax breaks for corporations and the wealthy, while trying to cut financial assistance for those who need it the most.
