I am appalled that you would browbeat FReepers for “picking on the poor” when they are decrying the documented excesses of the system that have fostered such abuses.
In too many communities, there is no such stigma for many.
And with respect to the “It could be you next week” comment. The majority of comments shown here are about long-term public assistance, not unemployment. Forgive me if I don’t fall victim to your hyperbole.
Uh in my book, long term assistance is linked to long term unemployment, hello.
And what say you to the $600 toilet seat sold by the contractor to the military?
