How much money does the federal government send to the wrong recipients? In 2012, over $100 billion. My colleague Jason Fichtner and I produced (http://mercatus.org/publication/improper-federal-payments-waste-over-100-billion-2012) this chart, which shows the amount and rates of improper payments from federal transfer programs, using the data from the Office of Management and Budget’s “High-Error Programs Report (http://www.paymentaccuracy.gov/high-priority-programs).”

And the bottom line, exactly what we've been trying to drum into the dense heads of the liberals here:
The reality is that federal spending has grown too massive to be adequately overseen, and the resultant waste, fraud, and abuse squanders public resources and undermines trust in government.
The ObombedItCare debacle would be just a warm up compared to single payer handled by this Federal government. The numbers prove it.
