I used
because I know you didn't intend for offense to be taken.
I definitely know that those who abuse the system can get emergency food stamps, same day. But it took me 45 full days last time I applied. This other family I'm thinking of, had two incomes (not wealthy by any means, but INCOME) while I had none.
I wonder what the actual figures are. I really don't think $20 of the $40 a person pays into welfare actually makes it to a person or family in need in any form. I think there's far more overhead than that.
I had a big long post typed out, but this really isn't the thread for it. lol
I really wish privatizing welfare was a valid suggestion. Maybe someday.

Also the taxes on businesses would be cut meaning the things you need (food, diapers, etc.) would be cheaper, making it easier for you to make it on less.
Many disagree because they don't see the immediate effects. They say lets do something that solves it right now so we can look good and our kids and grandkids can foot the bill later.
Honestly , no offense nahkoe, I have admired your strength and courage since my first day here and reading your story. My mother also done as you. From the childs viewpoint I know what you do and have the uttmost respect for you.
God bless you and yours.
