Gov. Deval Patrick’s free wheels for welfare recipients program is revving up despite the stalled economy, as the keys to donated cars loaded with state-funded insurance, repairs and even AAA membership are handed out to get them to work.

I really feel sorry for this Katrina victims. However, how can the victims (most of them welfare recipients) claim they lost a lot of things that they didn’t have before Katrina happened. I remembered a black guy was interviewed on the street right after Katrina. He cried and said that he lost his son or nephew — they drowned. As a result, there were a lot of sympathy contributions - thousands and thousands of dollars. It turned out he was a fraud.
Wasn’t that the intent of The People’s Car, Volkswagen? Everyone would have a car, an economical sensible car, the same car.
I looked them in the eye when they where crying. Nothing I could do to help. I tried.

If these are vehicles that have been donated, they are probably hunks of junk for the most part.
I work for a church and we get a few vehicles every year donated to us and, for the most part, they are junkers. Though not all.
We give them away to needy families but we don't pay for the insurance, etc.
Nor do we bill the taxpayers for repairs.

I’m quitting my job, stopping my mortgage payments and moving to Boston tomorrow!!! And to think I thought the Great State of Texas had it right all this time! Why work when the liberal taxpaying suckers of Boston will pay for everything!!!! Here I come Matt Damon!!!
My $500.00 vehicle, that I bought four years ago, is on its last legs.
I am actively seeking a replacement, and have saved/secured the ability to pay $1500.00 cash for basic transportation.
Nothing fancy, but I would like A/C and a working radio.
Who dreams up these entitlement programs?
I have just reached the point that I can afford health insurance again, but not a car mortgage.
I am really curious about the thought processes of these people.
Give ‘em all bikes instead...
Sheesh! The looters are sure in their heyday this year.
Yes they are & its sickening.
I’ve already got the car. How about FREE GAS? (Drill, baby, drill.)
