She certainly deserves the maximum sentence. In the original TV interview, she was absolutely indignant that she had done anything wrong and that she deserved every penny of that food stamp check.
But it will be a slap on the wrist, as it’s her “first offense”. A piddling fine, something in the order of a week’s worth of the interest on her lottery winnings, and “probation”, i.e., a warning that if she’s ever again on food stamps and wins another multi-million dollar lottery, she will eventually inform the state.
I find her comments indicative of the society of sheeple in which we live.
I thought that they would cut me off, but since they didnt, I thought maybe it was okay because Im not working I feel that its okay because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay. I have two houses Its just hard, you know. Im struggling, she told WDIV.
Irony can be so ironic sometimes.
Big deal, they caught one useless eater. She will be fined and hit the streets to enjoy her winnings. She should be in prison for 10 years but I don’t see that happening.
Now, if they did something about illegals getting welfare I would be excited. They have been raping this country for years with liberal approval.
I’m sure she feels entitled to public assistance.
I’m sure she feels that the million dollar prize is hers to spend as she wants, while the taxpayers are supposed to feed her and give her benefits. She can’t be expected to dip into the million to pay ongoing everyday expenses, can she??? (sarcasm)
What kind of attorney does she have? I can’t believe she could end up in prison. Pay the dam fine, pay restitution, settle this case. I’m sure something can be worked out so she doesn’t lose her freedom.
It is strange to me that she is immediately described as a “Lincoln Park mom.”
If she were a man with kids, would he be described as a “Lincoln Park dad?”
I think they’d just say, “A Lincoln Park man.”
Maybe Amanda Clayton should have become a Big Bank - then she would have gotten a small fine, and NO felony charges...
An article on CNN stated that 20+% of our tax dollars were wasted and lost to fraud and abuse.
Since 10% is less than 20%, I think I see what the primary reason for the national debt is.
WASTE!!!
The question is why the idiots in Washington don't address it?
They could pay off the debt without cuts to vital programs and everyone on both sides of the spectrum would get what they wanted. Are they just afraid to do something about people like this or just too lazy?
