Yeah. I guess so @DishonoredRonin
goes back to screening and efficiency
Yeah, in some cases (like yours) I don't have an issue with it. It definitely needs to be monitored better though, because if there was less fraud, we'd be able to help the people that actually need it more
And I agree completely, @mikeflarkin
Exactly and the people that actually need it won't have a hard time getting it
Sometimes I'm not sure where I'm really at on the political compass lol because I think some college should be free (or at least free to a point).
Specifically trade schools.
Did you know if you're on Disability, you can't have savings? At least not over a certain amount?
sorry i stepped away for a minute, but @DishonoredRonin despite what i said earlier, when it comes to a case like yours, i support you being on it. When someone REALLY needs help, im more than happy for them to get it, but its the people that use it just because, or overstay their welcome that im against.
@DishonoredRonin. I am completely fine with my taxes going to someone with your condition. A physical condition that they can’t help. Same with nursing homes and thing of that sort. The biggest problem is when people who just don’t feel like working live of our OUR tax money and take away from yours. That’s the biggest problem to me
If you have, say, 10k in savings, and become disabled, you can't get benefits until you spend that down to the limit first.
That’s dumb
When I used to work for a cable company, I used to encounter a lot of what we called "Welfare Queens"
man, you cant even qualify for welfare if you have a couple thousand in the bank where i live, even if youre out of work and CANT work.
10 kids with different dads
Same here, Wardog.
There were very few things that were as puzzling and annoying as someone in a crappy apartment that clearly didn't work that had like 4 70 inch TVs
i wonder, if you transferred all your money to someone you could trust under the notion of something like "paying rent" could you get in trouble for that with the government if you applied for government assistance? because now you dont have any money or assets to prevent you from getting welfare.
There the child care scams to
That’s how some people think life is supposed to be like lol. I will never understand it
@DishonoredRonin @Wardog. I could only imagine that would be something close to tax fraud. Something like that I’d assume
When a family lives in the same house and the state is paying a family member to watch the kids they live with and the parent doesn't even work.
i dont know man, i knew a lot of people on welfare who say they "just fudged it" and got away with it. not just a couple people, but dozens of them. im not the kind of person to want to risk going to jail. some people dont have a problem with that or being dishonest.
@DonkDonkJuanHundo Oh, it's illegal, but I've heard of it being done.
As with all thing @DishonoredRonin
Things
I want more stimulas package!
I want to go back to work. I used to work my tail off, and when I came home I was dog tired, but I knew I'd given it my all.
Well why don’t you just go work up 5 trillion dollars and hand us all a massive stimulus check. Jk lol. I havent really thought a wholw lot about it. I have a really good job by some people’s standard (I’m a chem. Engineer) so i haven’t really worried about it. That’s just me though
Sitting at home with no schedule eats at you.
So I saved up a bunch of money to buy a vepr 12 and now everywhere is sold out of em
oh yeah.
(Well, it does *me*, at least...)
i can relate imajica. youre not alone.
i wish i could get a decent job that didnt fuck me up. i really dont care about making tons of money, you know? just something i can do that doesnt make me want to shoot myself. theres not a lot of opportunity for that sort of thing near me. not having a car makes it harder as well.
Hell, I'd do charity work if I could. At least I wouldn't feel useless.
@Wardog. Depending on the area you live in, there could be great jobs. I work at a refinery and it’s a pretty stable job. I know there are lots of them in the US. That’s really the only stable, good paying job I’ve had. The only thing i can relate to
yeah, i just have issues that make holding a stable job difficult. trying to fix my situation, but it really isnt easy.
I haven’t lived in the real world for a very long time, so i have 0 advice lol.
i havent either if im honest.
