I used to work at DHS so know first hand how they abuse the system. It's beyond disgusting. My secretary, who issued the checks, finally got mad enough to quit. Why? Because the welfare checks she was giving these scumbags were more than her own hard earned paycheck.
Whatever happened to the days that people took pride in a good job done and knew the value of a dollar? What happened to the days when family took care of it's own?

I was a single mother who worked for the Welfare Dept here (before it was called DHS). You are right, it used to peeve me off that with their free medical, food stamps, and cash they were taking home more money than me, and I worked there!
I always said they should be required to work for the money. Pick up trash in the parks, clean restrooms in county buildings, etc. Rotate em around where they only had to work one day a week but make em work!
