Here's an idea: why don't they take better care to do better analysis of the recipients and track them and find out if they're ****ing lying or not? Almost everyone I've ever seen on Welfare or using Food Stamps doesn't look like they need it. Women crank out babies thinking, "Hey, more Welfare and Food Stamps." People who could otherwise work don't bother to, because it's easier to collect than bust your ass at a minimum-wage job. Instead, they throw money at the problem instead of FIXING the problem. Job programs? Education and training? Better monitoring? Nah, that's too hard; we'll just pour more money down the drain. It's getting to the point in this country where you're better off being "poor" than being middle-class.
