Welfare fraud. You have people getting it who DO NOT need it or deserve it. You have illegals that get it and have not even paid into the system and that weakens it even more.
There are people who need it and can't get it. Some people make $1 or 2 too much to get any help but still they don't make enough to even pay bills..Those that do get it just barely get anything at all.. I know someone who is on disability and for years got ONLY $10 a month in food stamps..which she was very thankful for but what will that buy.. very littel and certainly can't live healthy on that.. so you eat unhealthy and it causes more health problems which cost more money in the long run for health care cost, etc.WHICH isnt' covered and out of her pocket.
Then there are people who KNOW that the more kids they have, the more assistance they get.. Some people have kids JUST for the welfare.. You can have 4 kids and get $500-600 a month in food stamps.. if you don't use all that.. you can selll it for drugs or whatever. (and yes, people still do that even though it's on EBT card).
For those on food stamps, govt low income housing, etc who choose to try to work, the govt punishes you. My friend went to work and out of every $10.00 she made, she cleared $2,00 before child care and fuel. her rent went up, her food stamps got cut and she lost her medical coverage so in the end.. she was better off not working.. People want to call welfare recipients lazy and irresponsible.. It's not that.. It's just by the time you get punished for working, it's cheaper to sit home..
The govt should reward you for trying to better yourself but they don't.
