Your morning outrage. "The investigation included surveillance of the three-bedroom, 2,300-square-foot home on Lake Washington, during which agents observed his black Jaguar parked there frequently." http://usnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2011/12/06/9257355-feds-couple-claimed-welfare-lived-in-12m-home
I hope restitution isn't what they get out of them. They need to put them in jail for maliciously stealing six figures in welfare money!
Who's more to blame, the scammers who took the money, or the idiot system that handed it out? Just one more example of government agencies pissing away taxpayer funds. Multiply this by 50 million, and you might get some idea how much they are pissing away for no good reason. Every time I have to deal with a government agency, I'm amazed at the lack of intelligence of the employees I have to deal with. You have to work your way up to a third level supervisor before you can carry on a reasonably intelligent discussion, or find someone who can actually answer a pertinent question. These "employees" wouldn't last two days at a private company. Just showing up to work makes them a valued employee.
It happens every single day. How many couples do you know that don't get married because they get way more money as a single woman with kids and a boyfriend then they would as a married couple with a combined income?
I should do that when this crotch-fruit emerges. Darren - I am pushing the wedding off indefinitely so I can leech off the neighbors. Woe is me - I am alone and cannot survive without Food Stamps, WIC, Rent assistance, and welfare. I have no one to help me raise the spawn of Satan, please neighbors - it will only hurt a little bit. (actually, even with the little reproductive accident I make too much money to get assistance...even though it is only enough to cover the utilities and food and satisfy the IRS every month)
It's called plan B. Every woman involved with someone like you or me has one. Make your piece with it.
You're only 9 weeks away from the kid arriving? You must almost be to the point where you realize your life as you know it is over. -Plan Z
For $1272.00 per month, I could have my house paid for! Shoot them and put their heads on pikes in front of the welfare office. EDIT: I'm talking about the people who took the money AND the people that advocate Section 8.
Wasn't researching it for me, I was sitting with Leah and Miriam while they were looking into MN assistance for Laila.
Here's another... http://ca.news.yahoo.com/us-chiropractor-wife-received-welfare-while-living-1-190302552.html
Agreed, except for the no good reason, they do it for the votes my friend. Dude, it's the same incident....lol.
Guess I should read the first link then. Who would have thought that a chiro would be on the radar of anyone more than me?
Sounds like Russians, they've been kicking the crap out of us via our welfare system since the end of the cold war. They're running circles around the system. For every one that gets caught, there's 50 more beating us. In the end, we're the idiots for allowing it.
