<p>@ Juliet: I’m not scorning all of those on welfare. I believe a large majority need it, but I don’t think a lot should be abusing it. Many in my family are on welfare themselves, but since they think they can cash on free food, they tend to spend more than both my parents. Again, I based these facts on what I know and what I see. Not everyone is a goody two shoe that neatly follow the rules, there are many abusers out there than we realize. Also WIC in Mass is a check, but only it only applies to certain items.
As for the lady I was talking about, the city in which I live in is notorious for “illegal substance smuggling.” I’m not glorifying the lady in question, but merely stating the truth. I have no idea how she got her money, much less buy her daughter every Coach bags and UGG boots that she wants ( which are real). I made my post, because I believe something need to be done to this system, and correct the many flaws it have.
- As a side note, my family use to be on EBT, and I use to get benifits like reduce lunch and such. It was when both my mother and father got their second job that we lost the “low income” status, even though we’re barely even getting through.</p>
