Disability is hard to take advantage of because there are checks and balances. You get more money on disability than on unemployment welfare and there are plenty of people on unemployment who would take more money if they could get it. Having an open door policy on disability gives that opportunity.
We spend waaaaay more on checks and balances than if we let the occasional grifter through. It’s not that it should be completely without oversight, but we waste astronomical amounts on attempting to make it “fair”, and then the rich take advantage of that and grift anyway (politicans).
The amount of money grifters would get is so tiny in the US budget that it’s not worth even talking about. But a lot of politicians platform is to convince YOU someone else is the reason for all your troubles, and blow the impact of these grifters out of proportion so they can keep themselves in the loop and profit
