In order to have more funds to pay their staff, they should cut off the welfare money to these cretins who are committing welfare fraud and getting away with it. Fraud is obvious when a family is getting assistance, yet drives an Escalade and all the kids are wearing Air Jordans, Phat Farm, and Baby Gap. Hell, families who work 40+ hours a week struggle to get those things.

While those of us who work have seen reduced hours, reduced pay, furloughs, job losses, reduced income and reduced benefits, the welfare class has not impacted by the shrinking economy. It is about time they realize how the real world works. As the saying goes " those who rock the boat are not those rowing it".

Amen Mcarson....you hit the nail on the head. I never thought I'd see the day when most welfare recipients have cell phones...it blows me away. With our economy in the tank programs are going to continue to be cut and American's are going to see what it feels like to really be poor.

If they would get rid of all the people abusing the system then it wouldn't be such an over load. I know of several people right here around me that are abusing the system and I have turned them in for fraud several times . Nothing is ever done about it. Although I did turn in a sister in law for fraud and they got her. I don't mind my tax dollars going for food for kids or medical for kids, but when I see adults to damn lazy to get a job and keep thier grand kids just to keep medical and food stamps that really gets under my skin. I have seen where people around here go tell that they are crazy because they took drugs when they were young and then go draw SSI. It is this typew of stuff that makes everything harder on everyone else. If the athorities want a list of names get ahold of me, I will be more than glad to bust these no goods.
