Your tax dollars at work:
Former New York police officers and firefighters were among 106 people indicted on Tuesday over a “massive fraud” worth hundreds of millions of dollars, some in connection with the September 11 attacks.
The accused allegedly collected tens of thousands of dollars a year in Social Security benefits — funded by taxpayers — by claiming they were completely incapacitated by serious psychiatric disorders and other ailments.
NYFD NEVER FORGET!
Why does everyone seem so surprised? Are police officers and the like virtuous people? Sort of like Catholic priest? Human beings are fallible. Where was the oversight during the application process?
