I asked Grok.
Democrats have derived political benefits—primarily through expanded voter coalitions, dependency dynamics, and narrative control—from the large-scale social programs they have long championed, even when those programs became prone to significant fraud and improper payments.
It aligns with public choice theory,. That occurs when Democrat politicians expand government transfers to create concentrated beneficiary groups that provide electoral support, while diffusing costs across taxpayers. Democrats consider fraud and waste tolerable side effects because strict enforcement risks shrinking the programs or alienating key demographics. Empirical patterns and recent examples support this.
