A mom of three given nearly $11,000 in a taxpayer-funded program for impoverished families has admitted blowing most of it on a luxurious five-day trip to Miami — even getting a $180 glow-up to not look like a “working” mom while there.
Canethia Miller, 27, was one of 132 mothers in Washington, DC accepted last year into the “Strong Families, Stronger Futures” pilot program designed to help those living around the poverty line, according to the Washington Post.
She chose to take a no-strings-attached $10,800 lump sum, rather than $900 monthly payments — and immediately spent more than $6,000 on the trip for her, her three sons and their father.
“I wanted to blow it. I wanted to have fun,” she told the DC paper.

Shameless ghetto trash. Not even a slap on the wrist.

There are reasons why people are poor.

I don't blame her. They gave her the money no-strings-attached. So it was hers to do with as she pleases. The idiots are the people that came up with the stupid program to begin with.

Canethia Miller, 27, left, used most of a nearly $11,000 taxpayer-funded loan on a five-day trip to Miami.

Consider it as “reparations”.

Often people are poor because they make stupid choices - this woman is case in point.

She looks like someone who is healthy enough to work hard enough to not need a handout. Where’s the father? (rhetorical)
To: ChicagoConservative27
I remember a study done with little black kids and little white kids.
They would get two candy bars if they didn’t eat one in front of them while alone in a room.
The white kids went off and played or distracted themselves and got the two candy bars.
The black kids ate the bar and then lied and said someone took it.
Impulse control is a genetic trait.

She not only blew it, she stuck it to the American taxpayers like most other RAT freeloaders and deadbeats who vote for maggots like Joe Pedo.

“”I don’t blame her. They gave her the money no-strings-attached.””
I agree. I can’t blame her - she took her kids and “their” father on the trip with her....she’s not selfish at least. She would warrant criticism if she spent it all on herself IMO but she didn’t....
