My mother said when she was a kid an on welfare in the 30s, men used to come and count the silverware and dishes.
One time, They wanted to know why there were three boxes of cereal in the pantry if they were so poor.
In the 70s, when pop was in the hospital, while going to Nursing school in her 40s, she would shop very late at night so no one could see her using food stamps.
we lived middle/lower middle class after she became a nurse.
beats the heck out of how we would have been living if she gave up and went on welfare.
What does that bar mean?
‘The first component is a strong verification program that can be used to ensure that, as Senator Howell said, “Joe Schmo with two vacation homes and an Escalade†is not stealing welfare benefits while thousands of Volunteer State residents wait for the services they truly need.’
And there should be a section that says that when “Joe Schmo” is caught, he’s fined double what he stole and sent to jail to think about it! It is simply not enough to stop the fraud, the fraudsters have to pay a penalty!
place your cursor over it
A liberal judge will find it racist
Ahhh...OK...Thanks...
You bet. Take care...
You just did others a favor, who didn’t want to ask.
LOL
Does that mean that they will finally post watchers in all the grocery stores to take note of all the Food Stamp and EBT-card users that are also driving high-end cars will finally be arrested and prosecuted? I mean, at the very least -how can one be driving a Hummer and still afford high-end SatTV subscriptions and hundreds of dollars per year cellphone programs and multiple phones, not to mention every kid in the family owning high-priced phones while on “Assistance” (Welfare)?
Then there are the ones who buy huge quantities of high-priced steaks (and tons of candies, pastries and sodas) while paying for it with those same FoodStamps and EBT cards -I mean, WTH???
LOL I guess I did...That is a neat poll...
You take care, also...
Thank you.
You are welcome...
One silly question...I am an old retired fart and not computer savvy...
You DO have a way of counting those votes...You don’t have to go through and count each one, do you?
It means a self-centered mental midget feels a compulsive need to post on every thread in a pathetic attempt to get others to post on a topic he feels a throbbing lust for.
Racists
Wow...Sounds like you got an anger management issue.....
Memphis exists on welfare fraud. They would burn it to the ground..

I have a system set up and I can pretty much count and verify the vote in five to seven minutes.
