Well, looks like more of our tax dollars are wasted.
NY took 140 million dollars and was going to give $200 to each welfare family for school supplies. Well, being the responsible parents that welfare people are, what did they do? Did they line up at Staples? Nope, they took the $200 and bought TV's, cigarettes, booze, etc.
God I love to work 14 hrs a day just to spread the wealth like this. Makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

You'd think they would have learned from Katrina when they gave each family $1,500 on a gift card to buy necessities and they were spending it on booze, TV's and strippers.
The owners of the Sunoco on the corner of Wolf and Grant Street in Syracuse were swamped Tuesday; food stamp recipients, they say, who found an extra $200 per child on their benefit cards, were coming in to cash in.
“One person said she was going to buy a cell phone, I said ‘Wow, I thought the money was supposed to be for the kids -- other people were just buying cigarettes and beer,” says Sunoco gas station owner Diane Goly.
It's the thought that counts....stop complaining and get back to work.
