Drug test for welfare recipients

That one gets the old blood boiling

[[[[[...... Government housing had a waiting list, so we were rented a one bedroom......]]]]]]

Maybe if the cheaters were kicked off the welfare roles and not using whatever available assets, there might be housing for those who really need it.

I own a little rental. I have had 3 different families apply, who were getting the government to pay all their housing through section 8, and had incomes of $50,000- $60,000 a year. Those people did not need any help with their housing, yet they were taking slots and using up available housing grants. One of those couples arrived in separate brand new Escalades.

I have had 2 different Section 8 families apply, one that owned 3 horses, and one that had 2 horses full time, but took in rescue horses, so there would be more horses than 2 at various times. I've also seen an ad asking for Section 8 housing with a pasture from a family with 2 horses. I'm sorry, but if you have enough money to support 2-3 horses, you have enough money to pay your own rent.

So that is 6 houses in the Section 8 program going to cheats and not available to families who genuinely need help. That is just one little house with one landlord in a rather small town. How many do you think there are county-wide? There are limited Section 8 grants and there are very limited landlords who will accept Section 8. Those available places should not be going to liars and cheats. There are people who genuinely need those places and can't get one because they are full up.

Poor woman she really needs that foodstamp card. I don't think a person could make this up that well, that is unbelievable, challenge anyone here to defend her.

Oh come on people she only got a little over half a million. She has two houses to pay for ! And she has no income (unless she buys more lottery tickets). She doesn't look over fed, and it's only a couple hundred of your tax dollars.

Money goes quick with crack... cant blame the gal..

 

[hemet dennis]

And she had to get a new car to haul the food home.

Maybe she got one of those Volts that will run the electric bill up. Maybe she needs more food stamps ?
