As we’ve written previously, Democrats have a habit of defending massive systemic fraud by opposing and demagoguing commonsense reforms as harmful “cuts” to programs. One would think government expansionists would have a powerful political incentive to combat waste and fraud within the programs they cherish because such abuses undermine public confidence in said programs — and might (read: should) inspire widespread skepticism about further expansion. 

But many Democrats, quite affirmatively, do not care about such things.
