The US food stamp program has a fraud rate of about one cent on the dollar. http://www.fns.usda.gov/snap/fraud/fraud_2.htm
But let's be skeptical, and multiply that by 5.
Now think of a government run public food distribution system where the fraud rate is 10 times that. A Nobel laureate economist is in favor of it. Criticizing him and the system makes one into the Koch brothers?.
