IRS missing billions in ID theft - Business - Boston.com
$5 billion a year! Medicaid fraud losses might be even higher, and real enforcement there only started pretty recently (but it's still remarkably easy to steal from the government.) If you're a provider, and bill the government for services you never rendered, they'll pay you and there's a 99% chance you'll get away with it. But these things tend not to be really big talking points for politicians generally.
