This may not be a popular subject but I HAVE TO VENT!
I just came back from the supermarket and basically had to count my money so carefully cause we are watching our budget. So I shop for sales, get no name brand items and the like and get on line with my few things.
I am behind not one but two mothers, one of which has 3 kids and the other one has 5!!!!!! And how are they paying??? Food stamps!!!!!!!!! And what are they buying??? All of the most expensive items, meats galore, not cheapy cereal but the cereal that costs like 5 dollars a box and it just annoyed me soooooo much!!!
Then to top it off they start talking to each other and saying this is the way to go and crap like that. One of them even said, I havent worked a day in my life..the more kids you got, the more they give you!
And there I am, a working woman with a working husband struggling to make ends meet while half my pay check is going to these people. I understand if you need the help, really need it, but people like this make me sick!!!!!!!!
I soooo needed to just get that out!

Becky, I dont think people would torture your mom.
I think we are fed up with the many ladies like the ones NyChic was speaking about

Exactly wacky...fed up is not the word. Its out of control and we dont seem to have the right to say anything. I like so many others couldnt even get financial aid to attend college when my dad made close to nothing and plus put his life on the line against low lives (he was a nyc detective).
IMO..its just out of control and it really ****es me off!

i agree and it P*sses me off majorly- maybe if we all wrote the state and complained for them to make strict laws about what they can be used on....

I agree vehemently. For people that really need the system, I feel for them, but I get really steamed when people take advantage of the system.... to me it is like stealing.
I used to know a few strippers that did very well for themselves....very well, but when it came time for them to have their children they signed up for WIC & got gov't assistence for not just the Doctor (which they could have paid for by the way) but for formula & diapers as well. It makes me sick.
The middle class are the ones who suffer JMHO.
