It is definitely a "style of life" for many people. Therein lies the problem, yet the government doesn't have the manpower or resources to monitor all these cases to the extent needed, thus there will continue to be fraud and abuse. My friend works for the Social Security Administration and investigates scams and fraud...there are piles and piles of cases on her desk each time I visit her office. :( There is no easy solution...I don't claim to have the answers. Just raising the topic for discussion. :)
