Dude, the Welfare Queen has a new Big Screen!

About a year ago, a local TV news report here in Los Angeles was wailing
about how this mismanaged city and state were going to be forced to cut back
on their subsidy for housing for some folks.
(Don't get me wrong...we should try to do the best we can for "the least of these".)

One of the people affected was a fellow on disability...but he sure didn't
have any problems standing up, walking around and groaning while
standing in from of the thin-screen plasma in his subsidized apartment.

After seeing/hearing that, I simply prayed the fellow was a military vet
who'd earned that apartment and TV...

For a disabled vet, I have no problem with getting the guy a nice place and a comfortable life.


Im my roommates case, one girl in particular comes to mind. I went over there, (yes, free food tempted even me...hehe)

She had a very nice apartment in the part of town real people live in...hehe.

Big screen, Computer w/broadband, stereo, brown leather couch sysyem, you name it, she had it. Drove a nice, newer Cavalier I think.

Anyhow, she had two kids by two dads, got two checks every month. Then since she was unemployed single mom with kids, she got a basket of assistance. Food Card (like ATM), insurance, and a little extra money.
Later found out her apartment was only costing her 40.00/month, it was subsidized.

To really put the icing on the cake, due to her "circumstances", she had a tuition waiver through the state and could take classes for free at any state school if she wanted.
She enrolled in the occasional nursing class, but I think she was on a 7 year program for a 4 year degree.

But she did have all real ice cream and real pop, not Sam's Choice!
