No, there’s nothing to cut from the blooted government. We just need higher taxes. The one increase in guver’ment spending I would go along with would be an increase in welfare fraud police. And larger prisons for the perps.
I think there’s a way that citizens who report Medicare fraud can get the difference (or some monetary reward anyway).
We need to have the same thing with welfare. People who report welfare fraud can get the difference. We need to designate welfare money only for specific things (such as rent and food), and anything else that the person buys with welfare money is fraud which anybody else can report/sue over and the court will force the fraudster to pay the person who reported them.
Insanity. no other word for it... well maybe self-extermination.
You can draw cash on these cards? I thought they were for food only.
I live in a VERY small town and a couple of years ago some of us sat around and asked who is on SSDI, welfare or unemployment who is working under the table? We named 40 people who fell into these categories and one, who works under the table for a railroad who makes over $40,000 a year. If I turned every one of these people in, I’d never see a cent because I’d be dead before the fifteen years the government would take to act on this. Not to mention the family members who would kill me. Actually kill me, not in a literal sense.
And the rest was wasted on feeding another generation of Obama voters. LOL
The Right never complains about corporate welfare - the billions spent to subsidize companies that don’t really need federal handouts.
Its difficult to abolish handouts for the very rich. But to single out the poorest people in this country just because a handful abuse the system is a low blow.
If we want to eliminate socialistic abuses, let’s begin by ending assistance to those who don’t really need it in the first place.
No - you can’t withdraw cash from the card in most states. You can swipe the card to pay for food at the grocery store like with a debit card.
There’s not a great deal of abuse. People use them to buy the necessities of life. People struggling in a tough economy, its not their fault good-paying jobs are a thing of the past.
And stories like are a disservice to the country.
Tell that to the Libs who spread a DWI on an intern to a Republican all across the major networks for days on end. Or a nasty divorce of a staff member of a Republican at the county level for weeks and even bring it back up a year later. Or repeating the same story for 14 days in a row about a Republican primary candidate who was caught slashing the tires of his opponent.
"What is good for the goose is good for the gander." "Don't do what I say, do what I do".
I wonder how many of them didn't vote for 0bama in the last election?
A better question might be, I wonder how many of them only voted once for 0bama in the last election?
So you believe that people who tell the truth about the enormous amount of fraud and abuse in the welfare system are “doing a disservice to their country". You probably believe people who are sponging off honest, hardworking taxpayers are great Americans.
Who do you think pays for these billions of dollars in handouts and abuse? It is not your money, it is not Obama’s money. It is money taken from hardworking taxpayers or borrowed to create an unsustainable debt for our children.
The Federal government has over $16 trillion in debt and no way to repay it. The Federal government is running up additional debt of almost $2 trillion per year. You and your parasite friends who leech off taxpayers may think that telling the truth is a disservice to the country. I for one am sick of having money taken from me and my family to pay for these parasites.
So the lawlessness comes right down to every town and family.
There is no hope for America.
Give them a sack of rice, a sack of beans, and a sack of potatoes, along with a one-page photocopied recipe sheet on how to cook them. If they want more variety in their diets...OR to go to strip clubs...let them get jobs.
I wish her eyes moved.
Absolutely. ‘Don’t Get Between A Taker And His Paycheck’, Somebody will kill you.
Might be closer. :-)
