It's always been there. There is a surprisingly large population of people who take pride in their ability to eek out personal advantages with little 'schemes' at the expensive of the public. Many of these people think they're rebelling against a government that is too wasteful (which is ironic) or evil in various other ways. "If the government is going to waste money, it should waste it on me!" Or "everyone does it!" Yet when the problem is corruption and lack of oversight, you can't fix that for free, and more money can lead to more opportunities for corruption. Which is why I feel it's so important to build AI's that can detect and manage this stuff.
