What im saying is i wouldnt be so angry at conservatives if it wasn't such a class attack. lets be balanced in our attacks on fraud and scams of government programs, because i can point out government programs, that the rich scam etc.
Such a class attack? Who has been doing the class attack? Liberals have then when conservatives come back at you then you have an issue with it.
That is my tax dollar that I busted my butt off to pay. If you are able bodied and living off the dole you are a disgrace and should be ashamed of yourself.
Apparently shame is not as great a threat as it once was. given some of the rip off charges we pay the Military contractors I can see why an individual would not be ashamed of ripping of the welfare office. After all that just puts them in the same class of theif as Haliburton or Blackwater.
Can you point out where this is something that liberals actually say? Or is this yet another "liberal caricature that exists only in the minds of right wingers who listen to too much Glenn Beck" thing?
It is what the liberals DO, when they give politicians a blanket pass to spend infinite amounts of money and couldn't care less how much of that spending is legitimate--they ensure absurd amounts of waste and corruption, encourage a political system based on buying votes with taxpayer money, and create an onerous government so large that it insists on managing the tiniest minutiae of each citizen's life.
They did an audit, the people committing fraud got caught, and now they're going to have to repay plus probably go to jail. Sounds like the system is working to me. That's the entire point of an audit--to make sure that funds are managed appropriately, and to catch fraud and abuse.
The discussion is another example of knee-jerk reactions by some few (not referring to you, mb1547) to whom the facts aren't important.
The welfare use quadrupled since the Obama administration.
In August 2012, Sessions and other Republican senators requested information from the Obama administration about its practices in regard to admitting aliens who are likely to be dependent on welfare. After 6 months the administration finally responded admitting that in 2012, not a single visa applicant was denied on the ground that he or she was likely to become a public charge.
The Obama administration is actively recruiting foreigners to come to the U.S. to receive welfare benefits. Its Welcome to USA.gov page is largely about the welfare benefits that new immigrants can receive.
The administration has even partnered with the government of Mexico to advertise the availability of food stamps to Mexican immigrants (including, although this is not officially stated, illegals). In part because of the Obama administration’s recruitment, the number of non-citizens receiving food stamps has quadrupled since 2001, to an estimated 1,634,000 as of June 2012
Millions at the state level, billions at the federal level in fraud have been uncovered and there's still people that think corruption and fraud in our social welfare programs is "isolated".
How does one lose paperwork for 30,000 EBT cards ?
