    Florida bill would set hard prison time for welfare fraudsters

    http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2014...re-fraudsters/

    Ripping off Medicaid, food stamps or taxpayer-funded cash assistance programs for more than $100,000 could mean 30 years in prison, the sentencing equivalent of seriously hurting a law officer.

    I'd be curious to know the percentage of welfare fraud that goes over $100k. I can't imagine it being that big a piece of the pie. If I'm right, then this law is basically a useless piece of crackdown theater.

    That'll just cost Florida in prison expenses. See California and their prison guard's union backed "Three Strikes" law.

    Wasn't Florida the state that the prisons were so overcrowded that they were letting people out after serving only a portion of their sentence? So 30 years will mean what 3 to 10 maybe.
