Honestly, do you hate people on public assistance?

Yup "ADAPT"....

That's what they are telling my Dh... with swiss cheese memory

Most people on public assistance do work. I know in some cities like SF, you can make 60k a year and still qualify for some public assistance.

If you have a problem look one level up... when I look up I see the government unable to distinguish the genuine situations an aid prorgam was created to help.


As a person in need of help, the government is cheating them out of their just due by squandering a limited supply of aid to those undeserving.


The government is the problem as well as the recipients who cheat the taxpayers and other worthy recipients of targeted help.
