Meanwhile, there are real needs being taken care of like air conditioning, multiple flat screens and Xbox

We just bought our first flat screen, a 32" of a reputable brand, because the price dropped below $230 for the first time in December.

Meanwhile, my daughter, a social worker who visits Section 8 housing constantly as part of her job, noted that 100% of her clients had multiple flat screens and, if not an X-Box, the latest Play Station or Nintendo equivalent. Not 90% or even 99%. But a full 100%.

Of course, that was maybe because her parents choose to spend our money on foolish things as utilities, mortgage payments, groceries and property taxes.

“Meanwhile, there are real needs being taken care of like air conditioning, multiple flat screens and Xbox...”

How are hardworking taxpayers supposed to deal with the reality of what the welfare SYSTEM has become and still remain sane?

I moved from Seattle to a small town in central KY. I noticed a very large “poor” apartment complex that is on our very own MLKJR road. Every one of them has heat pump air conditioning.

Now, don’t get me wrong, it seems like a requirement here some times of the year, but if no AC was good enough for the rich a hundred years ago, it’s good enough for those who live off handouts.

Maybe it would motivate them to earn their own living.
