*Snort* Amateur! I know two women (friends of friends) who have been on the dole since around 1986. One of them claimed she couldn't work because she was "disabled" and subject to seizures. She had no problem finding an unscrupulous doctor to sign the paperwork and swear to her "disability." In the hearing, she merely faked a seizure for the judge.

Furthermore, she claimed that her roommate was her "aid." That is a great scam because number one, the "aid" draws a salary from the government for performing the "job" of being an "aid" to a "disabled" person. Plus every time the "disabled" woman wants to travel anywhere, her "aid" supposedly "has" to come along to help. So the "aid" travels for free!

These two haven't worked a day in almost 20 years. They get food stamps, free medical, dental, and psychiatric care. They are obsessed with a celebrity, a singer, and they travel the U.S. and Canada, going to this celebrity's concerts and buying him gifts. They live like queens compared to me and most working people I know. They have leisure time and plenty of nice possessions such as computers and cameras. If their checks arrive one day late in the mail, they are whining and moaning. They constantly complain that their benefits are "not enough," that they deserve more. They behave just like the woman in this story, who has come to believe that she shouldn't have to work, that she's entitled to be handed whatever she wants.

This is what happens when we allow people to get away with this kind of thing.

I had a mental image of the woman before I even opened the story. I have to say, I think I got it exactly right.

The Bible is right again: "If any would not work, neither should he eat." 2 Thes. 3:10 Christians should not enable laziness.
This story, along with the post about the British teen sisters who are collecting 31,000L a year raising bastards, at least gives one the hope that someone is noticing the errors of pernicious solialism.

Dang, she looks a little like Rosie O'Donnell. I have nothing against a welfare safety net, but dang, there should be lots of string attached where it encourages responsibility and accountibilty. She should be made to go clean the streets, parks, and whatnot. This is uncalled for. This is a vicious cycle where both the system and the person becoming irresponsible and encourage irresponsibility, it's like the snake eating it's own tail.

That's all, over 16 years? I'm sure there are Americans who are worse.

I’d like to work in the village where I live, but we have no post office or shop and I have asked at the pub but there is nothing there.

I'll bet she asks at the pub quite often.
