My old lady is in the business as well. She is an assistant manager at a very large supermarket company here.

One of my favorite stories is the ones who wait at the store for the stroke of midnight (when they were 24/7 in operation, as they are not anymore), (sometimes with their dealers accompanying, or a cab waiting outside) to buy a pack of gum, get 100$ back (the limit), then repeat until the cash (welfare portion, not stamps) is ran out. So much for paying bills, this dance repeated itself 2 days later on the 3rd of the month as well.

The store used to bring in security as most would usually stop by the HABA (health and beauty aids, like razors, and medicine) to shoplift razors and expensive medicine to return later (the store has a no reciept police. aka give them the pickle)

It is disgusting. We (working class) have to budget, and go without sometimes to pay our obligations, while the fraud is rampant.

This takes away from the unfortionate souls who really need stamps and welfare. And makes the genuine down on their luck people look bad.

And when the right kills these programs due to these abusers, their will be more good people suffering than fraudsters.

We should require drug tests for all government benefits. All adults being claimed, mother and father (if there is a father).

Community service, at least 15 hours a week for the township, which can cut service costs for the community. These people would actually be forced to be helpful to society, rather than just taking.

Also some of these poor impoverished people show up in Lexus', Benzes, with rims and 20 inch wheels. As well as huge speakers, and a radio system that makes my gaming rig look like an Atari 2600.

That includes unemployment too.

I sound so conservative...

I am still lefty, but abuse is abuse.
This program is helpful, but the costs could be trimmed with actual regulating. You should want to help yourself, first. And prove it.

I am sick of paying taxes, so miss nubian queen, and trailor park Royalty can drive around in a benz and not work.
