Your post doesn't even make sense.

All this talk about EBT and people trying to justify it. Bottom line, if you are able to physically work you are a discrace and should be ashamed to be on welfare.

As has been explained to you many times 70% of them do work but don't make enough to live on. Your claims that they're all lazy loafers who won't work is a lie.

Cons don't understand simple facts, they only understand talking points from their loudmouth blowhard pundits.

Me too.

Saying that a " little" abuse should be tolerated is like a doctor saying a little bit of cancer should be tolerated.

I laugh every time a thread comes up about people on food stamps buying lobster.

Always a bunch of liberals ready to jump in and defend the lobster buyers by saying even poor people are " entitled " to enjoy luxuries now and then.

I don't see anyone saying that. I have heard people say that there will always be crime no matter what we do, yes, let's make every effort to minimize crime and punish it when ever it is found, but saying "don't do anything until all crime is gone forever" is not a realistic position. The key is to make it as efficient and transparent as possible and make good effects at catching people who commit crimes & punishing them.

No one has ever said crime is ok so let's ignore it and you're making a strawman argument when you attempt to claim anyone has that position.

So you didn't plan for the future and thought you could live the good life on welfare? Why should I be forced to pay for your lack of common sense.
