Granted she represents that 2% of people who really did need the help.

You do make a good point. However, there are many here (and I'm not naming names or pointing fingers at anyone specific, mind you) who would classify even the 2% as 'freeloaders' and 'leeches' and bring them under the same wrath and consequences as the real freeloaders and leeches.

I would hope that those who wish to punish those who are gaming the system will take that into consideration.

What I find amazing is that they actually photographed her home FILLED with stuff! The truth is...it is literally impossible to find a “real” hardship case because we have so many safety nets in the US. Especially families with kids of school age who get fed at least 2 meals a day in school. Personally I would love to go into these folks homes for a week and educate them on how to make a budget and shop in bulk at low cost. Sadly they think that they are actually thrifty

I totally disagree.
After 14 years on FR, I have yet to encounter a single one that comes to mind.

Obama trolls don't count.
We have to honestly admire the Obama/Soros' machine's strategic planning.
Most of our veteran active trolls have sign-up dates of 2005, 2006 and 2007. Most surviving members are really good at it.
