Welfare Bums

Why does Rushville have so many losers on the system? These people need to be drug tested. I know several recipients that are druggies and sell there food stamps so they can get their drugs. I think if they are giving checks to these people they need to drug test them. I have to take a drug test for a job so why do they just hand this money over without testing these people. I know that these mothers are just lazy and could get jobs just like the rest of us but why not sit home and get goverment assistance. These people eat better than us that work for a pay check. These kids of these people suffer. I really wish Rush county would come up with a policy for drug testing. They would get rid of half the people on it. I could give you a list to start with.

Have you ever had to have assistance??? Its embarassing. Its called the economy sucks and I cant afford child care. I hate having government help but do my children suffer??? No they dont. Thats what I have family for.. Do i get child support NO but thats fine. I am in college so I can help my children live a better life than I did. I lived a great life but right now Im in a rough spot. Its called life some people need help. Not everyone on welfare is bad. I do agree with drug testing and I would be willing to take a drug test. I use everything I get for me and my children noone else. So before you go bashing live a day in our shoes....Its not easy!!! and if you are wondering how im online im at my parents house who support and help me with my college.
