In some states (all?) as soon as a person qualifies for one welfare type payment, they automatically qualify for about eight others without any further need to apply. Considering that some programs, such as free school lunches, require no upfront verification of income, the scamming must be enormous.
This is a complete outrage. It is no wonder that people on welfare do not want to get a job because they were their actual income would go way down. Many of their freebies provided by people ( taxpayers) who do work are not even counted in their income. There are so many different subsidy programs such as section 8 housing, utility assistance, Medicaid, Obamaphones, free Internet, etc.
It is a Demoncrat PLAN. They work to get any and all dependent on these programs, approve everyone. This is the segue to Communism and then one-world government.
It shocks me how young able adults are now “disabled” and receiving outrageous monetary benefits. On vacation at the beach, I asked a young woman with a dog and a car how she could afford rent there. She said she got disability and that was enough for $1700 rent plus expenses. If she can drive and swim and care for a pet, how is this person too disabled to work? Don’t even get me started on the $4000 per month “disability” payment to the alcoholic b**** who has been drunk since high school - one year in the military at age 25, she filed a claim that her alcoholism is “their fault” and now WE pay and pay and pay.
It is a PLAN. You, protaganist of Atlas Shrugged, are the fool for having good character and not signing up for freebie ride.
