Wouldn't it make sense to spend $100,000,000 to hire 1,250 investigators @ $80,000 a year per investigator to stop perhaps $800,000,000 of the fraud?

We'd save $700,000,000 a year and the other $100,000,000 would be growing the economy since it would be spent in 98% legal ways like most people spend their cash.

Not to mention 8% would come back to the state as taxes.
