Get a life. I lived in a welfare town for 18 LONG years and saw it all. The program is rife with fraud and corruption.
Welfare needs to be canned completely, plain and simple.
If they want to eat, let them get a job, just like the rest of us.
And as far as the poor little kiddies, well, they don't feed those kids anyway. They go hungry and I've seen it myself, for 18 long years.
If you want to be a government, nanny stater, bleeding heart liberal, hop on over to DU. You'll find the sympathy there that you're looking for.
Great comment. I think we have all had a time or two that things in life became really hard. I know I was down to nothing,not even a car, and; I was used to over 1k plus a week from working my fanny off back in 1980. It was my fault -that I fell on my ass.I felt sorry for me, etc. I had two parents die in 10 months, and; a few other problems. I moved some 100 miles plus away, lived on my insurance renewals, and; I spent $225 for rent. I ate at Wendy’s superbar every damn day for under $4. I walked everywhere or caught a damn bus.It was me who was wrong-not this country or GOV.I believe a person who wants to do something-FINDS A WAY.A person who does not-FINDS AN EXCUSE.
Someone who is unsympathetic to the plight of others and wraps it in a conservative blanket deserves to be on DU - that means you! I’ve seen it all too, and apparently, we have both seen the good and the bad. Yes, there is fraud, but what program doesn’t have some fraud connected to it? Even corporations have fraud.
I suggest you adopt oh say about 4 families and buy their groceries for them for a year, if you are so charitable. Which I know that you aren’t.
