My oh my.

The more they dig, the more fraud they will find. I guarantee it.

It was only 2 weeks ago that there was a "near riot" in Atlanta over handing out applications for Section 8.

They just want some of Obama’s stash. I bet some of these people had a job when Bush was President.

Many have been bilking the system for years, officials said.

No *hit, Sherlock!

It must be embarassing to be called a democrat UNLESS you’re a democrat... who have no shame..

The real kick here is that the USA is producing people who are not only liars, but who would lie to get INTO a section 8 apartment. If I were going to lie, it would be to get the hell OUT OF section 8 apartments.

I knwo a lot of FReepers are against it, but I myself am on SSD and I will NEVER use Section 8. I have enough (770.00 a month) and that is plenty to get a pretty decent place and live well, since I do get stamps. A lot of people get pretty fat checks on benefits and they should be able to pay their own way.

My mom was mental (due to a lifetime of abuse) and I understand why she did it, but I will NEVER understand why these perfectly able bodied and able minded people are so EAGER to take every freebie they can get. It’s disgusting.

Alright!!

We knew this crap happens and it’s
great when they do something about it, finally!

[CPT Clay]

...”A person who receives housing benefits that they are not entitled to steals taxpayer money,” Keenan said...

Yep. And those that are entitled to the benefits are just having the government steal taxpayer money for them.

[manic4organic]

Section 8 is nothing more than redistribution of wealth.

[tnlibertarian]

"A person who receives housing benefits that they are not entitled to steals taxpayer money,"

Fixed.

[EyeGuy]

Fraud.

The simple ignorant act of providing able-bodied people with subsidized/free housing is an enormous act of fraud, in and of itself.

There is a Section 8 apartment complex near me. All over the thing are satellite dishes for TV. My view is if you can afford to pay for satellite TV, you should not qualify for Section 8 housing.

Also, the ONLY TWO homicides last year in my city were in this apartment complex.

I asked a local cop what he thought of this apartment complex and he said “I wish I could call in an air-strike”.
