there are the few that use WIC and welfare to get on there feet and then quit it,but there are alot who live off of it and find ways to continue to manipulate the system cause they decided to have another bastard child....just sayin WIC doesn't really bother me. It's very limited and specific on what it pays for. You can only buy certain products for you and your baby and then it cuts you off I think after the first year or 2.

I personaly dont want to rent to those people. You cannot count on the state to pay them. And if you have to get rid of them. Your stuck with a pile of junk. Their stuff is my junk. to let you know not all the people that reieve assistance are bums and housing does pay there share.. my mom is also a landlord she has been for over 30yrs and out of that time she only had maybe 3 people that she ever had a problem with..

Not all the people on welfare are bums and will trash houses.

what about the people that have no choice but to be on assistance? Example: Single mother of three. The mom and two of the children are disabled according the federal government.

Not that I love deadbeats, but, according to Govt statistics, only about 4% of the country is on Welfare. Apparently 96% are not.

Lucky Mom how many apartments does she have? I average 3 evictions a year all for nonpayment of rent. so far I already had two, Plus two moved out because they didn't have the rent.

section 8 has gotten a bad rap. There are some of us out here that are responsible and exellent tenants with good rental histories

My mom was a welfare caseworker for almost 35 years. I loathe the welfare system, how it is. I think we should have welfare, medicade, foodstamps. Absolutly. But the system is set up for people to stay on it, and depend on it. Many times I have seen people quit jobs because they lose to much once they start making their own income. And many people's state of mind is to be on welfare. Their parents were on it. They get on it. Their kids get on it. It's a way of life. It's supposed to just be a stepping stone to help people in need. But..Jill, how is it set up for people to stay on it now? There is a 5 yr.(about that) time limit in my state. They have to be working or going to school to stay eligible for it. There is only a 5 year limit for CASH. You can stay on medicade, foodstamps, section 8 housing, utility assitance as long as you want. My mom just retired from a not-for-profit company that takes care of the utility assistance for my city. The monies come from dollar help. The clients have to apply yearly for assistance. So...when they no longer are on welfare, they are working and paying taxes. But...they may be working min. wage. Then they apply for food stamps, etc. They are the working poor. They apply every year to see if they are still eligible.

'correct' answer? does that mean they agreed with you? well pats is sayin the middle class pay for the poor and the rich.and samurai jack is right cause it does go to the wrong people in line at a grocery store where you are standing in line waitng for a abuser to pay with food stamps or that card and talking on their cell phone,then get in their $40,000 suv and go.i look at that and say...WTF They could have bought that SUV when they were working and they are now unemployed. Cell phones can be the cheap ones - pay as you go or a family plan. Just something to think about.
