Honestly, in my work as a therapist, I’m seeing this A Lot, and tbh I still don’t have a satisfactory approach to it. A heavy dose of Existentialist “create your own Purpose” tempered with “when the plane’s going down, put your own oxygen mask on first”, but… yeah, there is no ethical way to work on individual emotional distress without acknowledging the systemic socioeconomic, geopolitical fuckery going on at the moment, and the sheer grief that comes with it.
I’m a guidance counselor/psychologist for teenagers and it’s getting really hard to motivate young people to work for a future they don’t believe in. 
 They look at ther future and see global warming, wwIII, unemployement, political unstability, poison in everything  they eat, the earth and animals dying all around them. 
I saw this video where someone was asking french teens in the 50s how they imagine the future would be. The war hadn’t been over for long and yet it was all positive with like peace and flying cars and such. Then they went and ask the same questions to nowadays teens and hell that was depressing. Some still had hope, but it was just that “well I hope I’ll have a nice house and maybe some kid” but there was such a hesitancy to it, like they didn’t dare to hope too much. 
People mock Greta Thunberg but what they don’t get is that when she said “you stole my dreams”, it was the truth. 
Young people don’t get to dream like they used to. They don’t dream anymore, they grief all that won’t be anymore and that’s just so fucking sad.

<p>This
 popular CNN article has been circulating recently, claiming that an 
economist has studied Bernie Sanders’ plans and concluded that they’d be
 an astounding success. [a]<br/><br/> Here’s the problem, THAT economist 
happens to be the same exact economist who AUTHORED Bernie’s proposal. 
Published back on July 31, 2013, rogue economist Gerald Friedman, a man 
who proudly refers to himself as a “heterodox economist,”
 [b] which means that he doesn’t adhere to widely accepted economic 
beliefs, released a healthcare proposal that involved scrapping the 
entire private health insurance system in favor of government managed 
health insurance. [c] That plan was based off of a hypothetical one year
 budget. Then, a few years later, when Bernie Sanders decided to run for
 president, Sanders adopted this proposal as “his” plan for healthcare. 
Friedman then revised the plan to make it a 10 year proposal, since 
presidential budgets are often 10 year plans. A Huffington Post article,
 written by Friedman, lays out his 10 year plan as he attempts to defend
 Sanders from earlier attacks. [d]<br/><br/> Then comes this latest 
article where CNN acts almost as though Sanders just had his plans 
thoroughly vetted by an impartial economist.  He CLEARLY didn’t. <br/><br/>
 This article, on the grounds that it’s a conflict of interest, 
shouldn’t be regarded as independently verified vindication of Bernie’s 
plans. It’s not legit. Sanders has ALWAYS had this one rogue economist 
on his side. This CNN article is the equivalent of WAC authoring a 
“jobs-boosting” proposal back in 2013, where Rand Paul then chooses to 
adopt it as “his” presidential plan around 2015, then someone questions 
whether or not the plan would actually work as advertised, so WAC writes
 an essay defending what is now referred to as “Rand Paul’s Plan,” and 
CNN references that new essay with the narrative, “independent 
researchers confirm Paul’s plan would work,” despite it really just 
being us declaring our own ideas to be sound. THAT would NOT be 
independent verification, and neither is Friedman declaring his own 
ideas to be wonderful.<br/><br/> Let’s end with some important notes, some of which were even found in the CNN article:<br/><br/>
 “Other economists feel that Friedman’s analysis is overly optimistic, 
saying it would be difficult to achieve that level of economic 
prosperity. [Furthermore], last week, the Committee for a Responsible 
Federal Budget said Sanders’ plan to pay for health care would fall 
short by at least $3 trillion.” [a] Lastly, even Paul Krugman, of all 
people, has come out against Sanders’ plan, acknowledging that it would 
require so much additional tax revenue that the middle class (not just 
the wealthy) would see tax increases. He also points out that those with
 high quality private insurance would have to trade it in for mere 
satisfactory insurance via the the proposed single payer system. [e]<br/><br/>
 Regardless of the details, which can be debated at length another time,
 one should not be tricked into thinking that Sanders just had his plan 
successfully vetted and vindicated. He didn’t. All that happened was ONE
 rogue economist announced he thought his own ideas were really smart.<br/> ————————-<br/> Sources:<br/> [a]<br/><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/08/news/economy/sanders-income-jobs/index.html">http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/08/news/economy/sanders-income-jobs/index.html</a><br/><br/> [b]<br/><a href="http://www.pnhp.org/sites/default/files/Funding%20HR%20676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf">http://www.pnhp.org/sites/default/files/Funding%20HR%20676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf</a><br/><br/> [c]<br/><a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pnhp.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FFunding%2520HR%2520676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf&amp;h=6AQE18lVO&amp;enc=AZPJb2tURL4hl7HsxW9zy7_RszEMSPot0Kn-nYZ5wI2PPiGBqSRUiYz_uucz05mzbr5vYkOa94fSDuknU3-QqWxvPDiVBnHTVVjnd38uSmJqHODBbCS_KcwH1wVNLxZFJ0AhS9JxzUUxv1Se2bX4UhJvQLtQU8H07v_otMpRSZ606wzhnjtPT_ttRQllRN0_4zM&amp;s=1">http://www.pnhp.org/sites/default/files/Funding%20HR%20676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf</a><br/><br/> [d]<br/><a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fm.huffpost.com%2Fus%2Fentry%2Fthe-wall-street-journal-k_b_8143062.html&amp;h=LAQE05D6K&amp;enc=AZMfGZXQvt08iFQktBja-5jFJU6sk6N4vua6LVJm7S5q86EAFjcq_PPAeFfc4DxZFbQ3yFjy1qizaNQOi8RDiLQfNpYn9K6NAmbHPekay1bhAGT1VbNXZ25iIkqgJkSb-Mh4q7aPph3qExhcq1UEwQqpVtgDcqY2WKhHLef7iIUBxbkYZxd8ymIYfzfqjW0ZRF8&amp;s=1">http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/the-wall-street-journal-k_b_8143062.html</a><br/><br/> [e]<br/><a href="http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/18/opinion/health-reform-realities.html?action=click&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;clickSource=story-heading&amp;module=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;region=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;_r=0&amp;referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicususa.com%2F2016%2F01%2F18%2Fpaul-krugman-hillary-bernie-wrong-healthcare.html">http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/18/opinion/health-reform-realities.html?action=click&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;clickSource=story-heading&amp;module=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;region=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;_r=0&amp;referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicususa.com%2F2016%2F01%2F18%2Fpaul-krugman-hillary-bernie-wrong-healthcare.html</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/feelthebern">#feelthebern</a><br/></p>

entire private health insurance system in favor of government managed 
health insurance. [c] That plan was based off of a hypothetical one year
 budget. Then, a few years later, when Bernie Sanders decided to run for
 president, Sanders adopted this proposal as “his” plan for healthcare. 
Friedman then revised the plan to make it a 10 year proposal, since 
presidential budgets are often 10 year plans. A Huffington Post article,
 written by Friedman, lays out his 10 year plan as he attempts to defend
 Sanders from earlier attacks. [d]<br/><br/> Then comes this latest 
article where CNN acts almost as though Sanders just had his plans 
thoroughly vetted by an impartial economist.  He CLEARLY didn’t. <br/><br/>
 This article, on the grounds that it’s a conflict of interest, 
shouldn’t be regarded as independently verified vindication of Bernie’s 
plans. It’s not legit. Sanders has ALWAYS had this one rogue economist 
on his side. This CNN article is the equivalent of WAC authoring a 
“jobs-boosting” proposal back in 2013, where Rand Paul then chooses to 
adopt it as “his” presidential plan around 2015, then someone questions 
whether or not the plan would actually work as advertised, so WAC writes
 an essay defending what is now referred to as “Rand Paul’s Plan,” and 
CNN references that new essay with the narrative, “independent 
researchers confirm Paul’s plan would work,” despite it really just 
being us declaring our own ideas to be sound. THAT would NOT be 
independent verification, and neither is Friedman declaring his own 
ideas to be wonderful.<br/><br/> Let’s end with some important notes, some of which were even found in the CNN article:<br/><br/>
 “Other economists feel that Friedman’s analysis is overly optimistic, 
saying it would be difficult to achieve that level of economic 
prosperity. [Furthermore], last week, the Committee for a Responsible 
Federal Budget said Sanders’ plan to pay for health care would fall 
short by at least $3 trillion.” [a] Lastly, even Paul Krugman, of all 
people, has come out against Sanders’ plan, acknowledging that it would 
require so much additional tax revenue that the middle class (not just 
the wealthy) would see tax increases. He also points out that those with
 high quality private insurance would have to trade it in for mere 
satisfactory insurance via the the proposed single payer system. [e]<br/><br/>
 Regardless of the details, which can be debated at length another time,
 one should not be tricked into thinking that Sanders just had his plan 
successfully vetted and vindicated. He didn’t. All that happened was ONE
 rogue economist announced he thought his own ideas were really smart.<br/> ————————-<br/> Sources:<br/> [a]<br/><a href="http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/08/news/economy/sanders-income-jobs/index.html">http://money.cnn.com/2016/02/08/news/economy/sanders-income-jobs/index.html</a><br/><br/> [b]<br/><a href="http://www.pnhp.org/sites/default/files/Funding%20HR%20676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf">http://www.pnhp.org/sites/default/files/Funding%20HR%20676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf</a><br/><br/> [c]<br/><a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.pnhp.org%2Fsites%2Fdefault%2Ffiles%2FFunding%2520HR%2520676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf&amp;h=6AQE18lVO&amp;enc=AZPJb2tURL4hl7HsxW9zy7_RszEMSPot0Kn-nYZ5wI2PPiGBqSRUiYz_uucz05mzbr5vYkOa94fSDuknU3-QqWxvPDiVBnHTVVjnd38uSmJqHODBbCS_KcwH1wVNLxZFJ0AhS9JxzUUxv1Se2bX4UhJvQLtQU8H07v_otMpRSZ606wzhnjtPT_ttRQllRN0_4zM&amp;s=1">http://www.pnhp.org/sites/default/files/Funding%20HR%20676_Friedman_7.31.13_proofed.pdf</a><br/><br/> [d]<br/><a href="http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fm.huffpost.com%2Fus%2Fentry%2Fthe-wall-street-journal-k_b_8143062.html&amp;h=LAQE05D6K&amp;enc=AZMfGZXQvt08iFQktBja-5jFJU6sk6N4vua6LVJm7S5q86EAFjcq_PPAeFfc4DxZFbQ3yFjy1qizaNQOi8RDiLQfNpYn9K6NAmbHPekay1bhAGT1VbNXZ25iIkqgJkSb-Mh4q7aPph3qExhcq1UEwQqpVtgDcqY2WKhHLef7iIUBxbkYZxd8ymIYfzfqjW0ZRF8&amp;s=1">http://m.huffpost.com/us/entry/the-wall-street-journal-k_b_8143062.html</a><br/><br/> [e]<br/><a href="http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/18/opinion/health-reform-realities.html?action=click&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;clickSource=story-heading&amp;module=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;region=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;_r=0&amp;referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicususa.com%2F2016%2F01%2F18%2Fpaul-krugman-hillary-bernie-wrong-healthcare.html">http://mobile.nytimes.com/2016/01/18/opinion/health-reform-realities.html?action=click&amp;pgtype=Homepage&amp;clickSource=story-heading&amp;module=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;region=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;WT.nav=opinion-c-col-right-region&amp;_r=0&amp;referer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.politicususa.com%2F2016%2F01%2F18%2Fpaul-krugman-hillary-bernie-wrong-healthcare.html</a><br/><br/><a href="https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/feelthebern">#feelthebern</a><br/></p>

A British Jewish man stuck a “Boycott Israel” sticker to his Kippah in solidarity with Palestinians.

This is very important. Americans especially (but others are guilty) have to realize that being against or criticizing Israel IS NOT ANTI-SEMITIC. Caring about human rights is not anti-semitic. A criticism of Israel is not a criticism of all Jewish people. Many Jewish people (especially in Tel-Aviv and NYC) are EXTREMELY critical of Israel. Get it through your head. Criticism of something doesn’t always mean you hate something or you hate the people you are criticizing. 

If you really care about human rights you’d support Israel.

Explain please. Don’t worry I’m not like most Tumblr users that will throw a fit at any sign of dissent. 

Well thats good! xD
For one, the record speaks for itself. Particularly on women’s rights, while no nation is perfect, Israel is #1 in the middle east. Stonings which occur in Saudi Arabia and Iran are nonexistent. Every citizen is allowed a vote. Regardless of race. IN the case of gaza, Israel withdrew when they probably shouldn’t have, to give gaza an opportunity to make something of themselves. So what do they do? Destroy all the infrastructure Israel left behind and fire rockets at Israel. Isrel put up the blockade after that. They blew it. They could have been another Dubai if they wanted. But they chose war. In the recent rounds of conflict Israel has been slandered, when the Gazan leaders use children as human shields. More dead kids= more sympathy.

I am not saying that Palestine is not free from blame BUT the nation of Israel was made, despite its good intentions, by taking the  land of people who lived there. That alone is enough to question the integrity of the nation. I agree that Israel has a better internal record for human rights when compared to any other Islamic nation but that is a distraction argument in my opinion: “we don’t stone our women so let us treat Palestinians like dogs hahah hehehe”. That’s like saying the U.S. has the right to occupy Saudi Arabia because all of Saudi Arabia’s neighbors have a bad record with women’s rights. Although it may be true, two wrongs don’t make a right. Israel’s better treatment of women and LGBT people (if we ignore the super conservative orthodox jews who are pretty sexist and hompphobic) is no excuse to have it mistreat others. As for the human shields thing, Hamas and other Palestinian groups labeled as terrorist groups  have indeed  done awful things …as does Israel …. I’m not defending atrocities committed on any side but one thing is certain Israel, by treating Palestinians so poorly is only making things worse for itself. As for the solution. I don’t know. The solution I want is too unrealistic, but that’s a discussion for another day. Zionism is rampant in the conservative circles of Israel, the ruling circles as of now…. it is not good. I am aware both sides have done bad but in my opinion Israel started it, it has the power to make things better, and this is a thorny issue that involves history, religion, and politics  BUT Israel is on land that is not theirs. Maybe it was at one point, but at the creation of the country it was not.  

By that argument America should give its land back to the Indians.


No. I said it should treat the Palestinians better (you know how oppressive Palestine is right now due to Israel let’s not play games) . That doesn’t mean give the entire country back to them. This in theory sounds like the nicest thing to do but i think it’s still unfair since we now have generations of Israelis who call the country their home. Like I said before two wrongs dont make a right. I personally support a one-state solution which gives the land to both people also it isn’t a solution based on religion or any of that.  But there are many reasons why this is problematic. I am aware of this, but all other solutions aren’t satisfactory either. The way I see it is there are three possible outcomes ALL Palestines go away (unfair), ALL Israelis go away (unfair), BOTh parties learn to live together harmoniously (fair). : ISRAEL

<p>Sadly, there are quite a few people like this. Not saying it’s he majority, but it’s a good chunk.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Please, you don’t have the facts and figure to back up the “good chunk” so don’t spew that shit. I don’t mind the stuff about working hard and making money, I could care less, I’ll even support that, but this shit? Welfare recipients are people too, and you don’t understand their challenges. How about we stop funneling tons of money into prisons before we go after single moms and kids?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Well let’s see shall we? 46 million in the US are on some sort of welfare. 8.7% are in the fraud category. So I would safely say that 4 MILLION is a good chunk. Care to dispute that now?</p>
<h2>WELFARE FRAUD</h2>
<p><span class="imgPusher"></span><span><a><img alt="Picture" class="wsite-image galleryImageBorder" src="http://federalsafetynet.com/uploads/2/8/4/4/2844290/8051748.jpg?213"/></a></span></p>
<div class="paragraph">Improper welfare payments, including fraud, are estimated to be about 8.7% of all federal welfare payments made and exceeded $50 billion in fiscal year 2012.  This estimate is based on reports from the Office of Budget and Management (OBM)<a title="">[i]</a>, The General Accounting Office<a title="">[ii]</a>, and other federal agencies.   Improper payments were estimated from each of the 13 individual welfare programs (<a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/safety-net-programs.html" title="">see Safety Net Page</a>) and the Medicaid Program (health care).  <br/><span></span><br/><span></span><strong> What are improper payments?</strong> <br/>Improper payments are described this way by the OBM:  “ ‘Improper payments’ occur when:<br/><ul><li><span>funds go to the wrong recipient;</span></li>
<li><span>the right recipient receives the incorrect amount of funds (including over payments and underpayments);</span></li>
<li><span>documentation is not available to support a payment; or</span></li>
<li><span>the recipient uses funds in an improper manner.</span></li>
</ul>
Although not all improper payments are fraud, and not all improper payments represent a loss to the government, all improper payments degrade the integrity of government programs and compromise citizens’ trust in government.”<br/><span></span><br/><strong>Where do estimates for improper payments come from?</strong><br/>Improper Payments are required to be reported by federal agencies under a 2002 statute that was amended in 2010<a title="">[iii]</a>.  The OMB website describes the process as follows: “For all federal programs identified as risk-susceptible, the responsible federal agencies obtain a statistically valid estimate of the annual amount of improper payments in those programs.”<br/><span></span><br/><span></span><strong> Improper Payments by program</strong><br/>The table below shows the estimated improper payments by program in billions of dollars.  The table was calculated by taking the most recent improper payments data by welfare program and applying it to total expenditures for fiscal year 2012.  This gives an approximation of the overall improper payments from the welfare system in whole.  <br/><br/></div>

<p>Well let’s see shall we? 46 million in the US are on some sort of welfare. 8.7% are in the fraud category. So I would safely say that 4 MILLION is a good chunk. Care to dispute that now?</p>
<h2>WELFARE FRAUD</h2>

<div class="paragraph">Improper welfare payments, including fraud, are estimated to be about 8.7% of all federal welfare payments made and exceeded $50 billion in fiscal year 2012.  This estimate is based on reports from the Office of Budget and Management (OBM)<a title="">[i]</a>, The General Accounting Office<a title="">[ii]</a>, and other federal agencies.   Improper payments were estimated from each of the 13 individual welfare programs (<a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/safety-net-programs.html" title="">see Safety Net Page</a>) and the Medicaid Program (health care).  <br/><span></span><br/><span></span><strong> What are improper payments?</strong> <br/>Improper payments are described this way by the OBM:  “ ‘Improper payments’ occur when:<br/><ul><li><span>funds go to the wrong recipient;</span></li>
<li><span>the right recipient receives the incorrect amount of funds (including over payments and underpayments);</span></li>
<li><span>documentation is not available to support a payment; or</span></li>
<li><span>the recipient uses funds in an improper manner.</span></li>
</ul>
Although not all improper payments are fraud, and not all improper payments represent a loss to the government, all improper payments degrade the integrity of government programs and compromise citizens’ trust in government.”<br/><span></span><br/><strong>Where do estimates for improper payments come from?</strong><br/>Improper Payments are required to be reported by federal agencies under a 2002 statute that was amended in 2010<a title="">[iii]</a>.  The OMB website describes the process as follows: “For all federal programs identified as risk-susceptible, the responsible federal agencies obtain a statistically valid estimate of the annual amount of improper payments in those programs.”<br/><span></span><br/><span></span><strong> Improper Payments by program</strong><br/>The table below shows the estimated improper payments by program in billions of dollars.  The table was calculated by taking the most recent improper payments data by welfare program and applying it to total expenditures for fiscal year 2012.  This gives an approximation of the overall improper payments from the welfare system in whole.  <br/><br/></div>

The GAO describes the errors as follows:  school lunch – “Verification errors related to benefit calculation error, duplicate payments, insufficient documentation, and fraud or misrepresentation by program participants or others”.  School breakfast – “Authentication and administrative errors, including authenticating the accuracy of qualifying for program specific requirements, criteria, or conditions.”<br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/head-start-and-child-care.html" title="">Headstart </a><br/>GAO reports a 1.7% improper payment rate for 2010.  <br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/job-training.html" title="">Job training </a><br/>No data is available for the multitude of programs that make up job training.  A 1% figure was used as a conservative estimate.  <br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/wic.html" title="">WIC </a><br/>GAO reports a 1.2% improper payment rate for 2010.  <br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/head-start-and-child-care.html" title="">Child Care </a><br/>GAO reports a 13.3% improper payment rate for 2010.  <br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/liheap.html" title="">LIHEAP</a><br/>A full improper payment report has not been issued by the Health and Human Services Agency regarding LIHEAP.  GAO reports up to 9% of LIHEAP payments had problems associated with them, in a review of payments made in 7 states<a title="">[v]</a>.  Some of the errors were simple omissions but some were as severe as fraud.  A 5% estimate was used for purposes of estimating total welfare improper payments. <br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/lifeline-obama-phone.html" title="">Lifeline </a><br/>An improper payment report has not been issued by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regarding the lifeline program.  The program is very complex and is administered by telecommunication companies.  Up to 41% of payments were problematic as reported by the <a href="http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887323511804578296001368122888" title="">Wall Street Journal</a>:  “A review of five top recipients of Lifeline support conducted by the FCC for the Journal showed that 41% of their more than six million subscribers either couldn’t demonstrate their eligibility or didn’t respond to requests for certification.”  A 20% estimate was used for purposes of estimating total welfare improper payments. <br/><br/>Medicaid<br/>OMB estimates a 7.1% improper payment rate for 2012.  GAO describes the errors as follows:  “The majority of the FY 2012 errors were a result of cases reviewed for eligibility that were either not eligible or their eligibility status could not be determined, thus they were considered errors.  The most common cause of cases in error for the Medicaid FFS medical review was insufficient documentation.”</p></blockquote>

<p>Sadly, there are quite a few people like this. Not saying it’s he majority, but it’s a good chunk.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Please, you don’t have the facts and figure to back up the “good chunk” so don’t spew that shit. I don’t mind the stuff about working hard and making money, I could care less, I’ll even support that, but this shit? Welfare recipients are people too, and you don’t understand their challenges. How about we stop funneling tons of money into prisons before we go after single moms and kids?</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Well let’s see shall we? 46 million in the US are on some sort of welfare. 8.7% are in the fraud category. So I would safely say that 4 MILLION is a good chunk. Care to dispute that now?</p>
<h2>WELFARE FRAUD</h2>
<p><span class="imgPusher"></span><span><a><img alt="Picture" class="wsite-image galleryImageBorder" src="http://federalsafetynet.com/uploads/2/8/4/4/2844290/8051748.jpg?213"/></a></span></p>
<div class="paragraph">Improper welfare payments, including fraud, are estimated to be about 8.7% of all federal welfare payments made and exceeded $50 billion in fiscal year 2012.  This estimate is based on reports from the Office of Budget and Management (OBM)<a title="">[i]</a>, The General Accounting Office<a title="">[ii]</a>, and other federal agencies.   Improper payments were estimated from each of the 13 individual welfare programs (<a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/safety-net-programs.html" title="">see Safety Net Page</a>) and the Medicaid Program (health care).  <br/><span></span><br/><span></span><strong> What are improper payments?</strong> <br/>Improper payments are described this way by the OBM:  “ ‘Improper payments’ occur when:<br/><ul><li><span>funds go to the wrong recipient;</span></li>
<li><span>the right recipient receives the incorrect amount of funds (including over payments and underpayments);</span></li>
<li><span>documentation is not available to support a payment; or</span></li>
<li><span>the recipient uses funds in an improper manner.</span></li>
</ul>
Although not all improper payments are fraud, and not all improper payments represent a loss to the government, all improper payments degrade the integrity of government programs and compromise citizens’ trust in government.”<br/><span></span><br/><strong>Where do estimates for improper payments come from?</strong><br/>Improper Payments are required to be reported by federal agencies under a 2002 statute that was amended in 2010<a title="">[iii]</a>.  The OMB website describes the process as follows: “For all federal programs identified as risk-susceptible, the responsible federal agencies obtain a statistically valid estimate of the annual amount of improper payments in those programs.”<br/><span></span><br/><span></span><strong> Improper Payments by program</strong><br/>The table below shows the estimated improper payments by program in billions of dollars.  The table was calculated by taking the most recent improper payments data by welfare program and applying it to total expenditures for fiscal year 2012.  This gives an approximation of the overall improper payments from the welfare system in whole.  <br/><br/></div>

<p><br/><br/><strong>Descriptions by program</strong><br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/negative-income-tax.html" title="">Negative income tax</a> – Negative income tax is made up of the refundable portion of the EITC and Child Tax credits.  OMB estimates that ETIC has a 22.7% improper payment rate for 2012.  Child Tax Credit is not reported but is considered to have similar error rates<a title="">[iv]</a>.  OMB describes the errors as such: “A number of factors unique to the EITC program trigger errors.  The complexity of the law contributes to confusion around eligibility requirements, mainly qualifying child relationship and residency rules.  Other factors include high program turnover of one-third annually, return preparer errors, and fraud.”<br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/snap.html" title="">Snap </a><br/>OMB estimates a 3.8% improper payment rate for 2012.  GAO describes the errors as follows:  “Incomplete or inaccurate reporting of income by participant and incorrect eligibility determination by Caseworkers.”<br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/housing-assistance.html" title="">Housing assistance</a><br/>OMB estimates a 3.9% error rate on all rental housing assistance programs.  This makes up the bulk of housing assistance welfare and the error rate was therefore used for all housing assistance.  OMB describes the errors as follows: “The three major components of potential errors and improper payments in these complex programs are:  </p>
<ul><li><span>Program administrator error – the program administrator’s failure to properly determine income, rent, and subsidy levels;</span></li>
<li><span>Tenant income reporting error – the beneficiary’s failure to properly disclose all income sources and amounts upon which subsidies are determined; and</span></li>
<li><span>Billing error – errors in the billing and payments between third party program administrators and/or housing providers and HUD.”</span></li>
</ul><p><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/ssi.html" title="">SSI</a><br/>OMB estimates a 9.2% improper payment rate for 2012 and describes the errors as follows:  “Payment accuracy reviews show that the leading causes of program overpayments are failure to inform SSA of the existence of financial accounts or increases in the balances in financial accounts and failure to inform SSA of the correct earnings amounts from work.”<br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/pell-grants.html" title="">Pell Grants </a><br/>OMB estimates a 2.5% improper payment rate for 2012 and describes the errors as follows: “The major root causes of improper payments in the Pell Grant Program are incorrect self-reporting of an applicant’s income which leads to incorrect awards based on Expected Family Contribution (EFC); incorrect processing of student data by institutions during normal operations; student account data changes not applied or processed correctly; ineligibility for a Pell Grant (e.g., validity of high school attended, history of degrees obtained); satisfactory academic progress not achieved; and incorrectly calculated return records by institutions returning Title IV student aid funds.”<br/><br/><a href="http://federalsafetynet.com/tanf.html" title="">TSNF</a><br/>The Health and Human Services Agency has not estimated TANF improper payments because the program is administered by the various states that distribute federal funds and the states have not performed improper payment reviews.  A 15% estimate was used for purposes of estimating total welfare improper payments.  Improper payments are most likely above 15% based on the complexities off the program and a review of available performance data including two reviews shown below:  </p>
<ul><li><span>In FY 2007 <a href="http://www.hhs.gov/asl/testify/2008/01/t20080130a.html" title="">HHS conducted a pilot review</a> of TANF cash assistance payments in three states.  The error rates for the pilots ranged from 11.5% to 40%.  </span></li>
<li><span>An <a href="http://oig.hhs.gov/oas/reports/region4/40703520.htm" title="">inspector general’s report </a>of Ohio TANF payments in 2007 found a 21.1% improper payment rate.</span></li>
