Can anyone total up, line-by-line, the “assistance” that a typical dependent of the state with two children and a non-working baby daddy are “entitled” to? Welfare Medicade Section 8 housing WIC Food stamps Chilren care Energy assistance How much and what else?

Tack onto that all the private free stuff that they can get - some have it down to a science.

I remember last year they showed the school supply drive on our local TV news. Basically everybody who wanted to donate brought new school supplies (including backpacks and clothing) to the park in the morning where volunteers organized everything for the afternoon giveaway to the "needy". When they showed the afternoon giveaway portion it was like a land rush...a bunch of fat _ssed welfare mommas and their broods. They weren't going through the items and carefully picking out what they needed from a school list - they were toting away everything they could carry (one "lady" was balancing a stack of ten or so back packs still in the plastic). It was a fiasco.

There are scores of stories you can be indignant about.

The one that took the cake for me was during Kartina when they asked for volunteers to come to the shelters to host the refugees. What this meant was to wait on, cook for, feed, and clean up after these vermin who were largely abusive, demanding, filthy and lazy. There were exceptions of people who tried to do for themselves but not many.

The worst thing about the Katrina refugees is that they came to Texas and stayed.
