Tsarnaev family received $100G in benefits | Boston Herald

The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned.

Transitional assistance officials also told the Herald tonight that the agency was conducting its own investigation into whether Tamerlan Tsarnaev’s family ever notified the DTA about his extended trip to Russia, and has since expanded its probe to include a full history of the benefits received by the entire Tsarnaev family.

How does someone on welfare and section 8, afford to go to Russia on extended trips?

And will you Democrats who proclaimed that them receiving welfare was no big deal, do a 180, now that Democrats are even questioning it?

Same way Americans on food stamps go to Hawaii and Disneyworld.

Trolling isn't going to get you much sympathy, here. My question for you is, where is your indignation that George Bush was the one who authorized the "welfare" which was continued for most of the period in question?

If you didnt want to troll, then you wouldnt have brought up Bush, I didnt say a dam thing about the President, this one, nor the last.

I dont give a rats ass who gave money to terrorists, its wrong, and since you are now disagreeing with me, I can only ask why you want to support it.

Yeah, childish postings go both ways..

p.s, welfare programs are administered by the state, not the President.. return to school.
