If this is about the social services and the child protective services, they aren't even professional. They go to a child molester or abuser and hear their story about the reports, butter wouldn't melt in an abusers mouth, hear their lies, screw the rights of the child, and then tell who called them up. I think they should have attention called to their fine working capabilities by complaints to the dept.of missing and exploited children. Especially naming a few dead kids and the actions taken by the judicial system. You can sell a joint, steal a car, kick somebodys ars and get ten years. You can torture and kill a baby and they slap you on the wrist and free you... give a couple of years.

DSS is a joke. The whole system needs an overhaul, from the welfare line to the CPS departments.

Know for a fact that DSS placed a child with DREAMA DOANE - can you believe that? After she killed her son with pills - really? OMG - poor child - took the baby from his mother and placed him with a real addict - lol

The free can't last forever, and the money is running out. There is a welfare reform on it's way with Romney, as well as an adjustment to social security. Medicaid and medicare is being reviewed and plans to put on voucher..meaning when you use you healthcare money up, that is it, there is no more, you just die.

Another example of tremendous Government waste ! All this effort and $$$ routing $$$ to families that are taking advantage of SS and benefits. Very little of this money is going to help the children that are the focus of these programs ! We are encouraging generations of people to become and remain dependent on SS and benefits ! - SS Benefits for those truely deserving ( Driving golf balls over 300 yards or riding a 700 Lb. motorcycle, etc.) - Food Stamps - WIC for children up to 5 Years - Local Food Bank - Child Care ( FREE ) - Rental Assistance - Heating Fuel and Utility Assistance - Internet Access ( FREE ) - Cell Phone and service ( FREE ) - Child Tax Credit - TAX Refunds more $$$ than they actually paid in taxes ! - A perscription for pain pills = another $ 6,000.00 / year ! Some of these families are receiving more than $ 35,000.00 - 41,000.00 / Year in benefits and handouts !( Just do the math yourselves !) Not hard to explain the new vehicles in the driveways - when you consider the total of these handouts ! These folks are making more money than those that are working and paying taxes ! Why work at a $ 10 -$ 12 / Hr job when you can lay on the Government handouts and make more money than those working ? No to mention the free time with your family !

You said that right all the way. You can make more money laying around all the time doing nothing, than a person does who gets out of bed at 4 AM and drives 40 miles to work every day. The system is out of control. Poor leadership. Time for a change.

How about the math ? Family of four $13,500 -$1,125.00/ month SS Benefits $4,200 -$350.00/month Food Stamps $4,200 -$350.00/month WIC $2,600 -$ 50.00 / Week Food Bank $4,800 -$400.00/month Child Care $6,000 -$450.00/month +$$ utilities $ 300 -$300.00/ Year - Fuel assistance $ 240 -$ 20/Month - Internet Acess $ 600 -$ 600/Year - Cell Phone & Service $5,000 -$ Tax Refund w/child tax credit $5,400 - One prescription for pain pills - sold for income - Conservativley assume 90 pills at $ 5.00 / pill / Month =$ 450.00 / Month $ 41,440.00 / Year if you keep your pills, lay and watch TV, eating till you can't anymore ! ($ 46,840.00 if you sell your prescription !) So ... why in the Hell go out and work your ass off for $ 10 - 12 / Hour and pay taxes so these people can take advantage of the Government Welfare system ? AND have a better quality of life !

If your rent is paid with HUD Assistance AND FOOD Stamps + WIC ($ 500 - 800.00 / Month ) You have a disposable income that most working families paying taxes cannot possibly attain ! No wonder most SS recipients have a new vehicle in the driveway !

I work but know people who recieve some of these benefits and I've never heard or saw them living this great of a life you seem to be describing. Where are you getting your info from if I may ask?

Just Look around - grocery stores, clinics, pharmacies, local court house and SS offices. We are encouraging generations of this behavior ! The breakdown of benefits listed above are CONSERVATIVE ! Just ask anyone receiving Food stamps for a family of four ? At the golf course - Man crushed the ball + 300 Yds - later asked him where he worked - Oh - I'm totally disabled ! Been disabled for last 15 years ! OR another example: On the 700 Lb. motorcycle with his wife - ridin around all day with nothing to do ! Been disabled for last 20 years ! OR another example: Man mowing yards next door, new truck & equipment - Yep Totally disabled and drawing a check ! Popeye - disabled - drawing $ 52,000.00 +++ from SRS and a disability check from the Governemnt ! Where have you been for the last 20 years ? I can show you many examples ! How many do you need to convince you ? Have two families as tenants receiving all the above Governmnet assistance and more ... not counting gifts and $$$ received from local churches and organizations such as Santas Elves, etc. Lets not mention running up a bunch of bills they cannot pay - then moving along so the creditors can't catch up to them ! One family I know here ... has swimming pool, new Mustang, two new four wheel drives and nice house - both he and his wife in their late 40's on SS. Haven't ever worked - I've known them for over 20 years ! Hell they don't even pay property taxes - Total disability ! Hey but they have the nicest yard and home in town !

I am disabled, but after insurance my check won't pay the other bills. How do these people do it. I worked 30 years, I would still be working if at all possible. This is somewhere I never wanted too be.

The people who are scamming the system are the ones who are benefitting tremendously ! Those not really disabled - collecting the benefits & working or just lounging through life ! This seems to be the formula for success for many people. If you are receiving SS disability benefits, you should also receive full medical coverage with Medicare / Medicaid ? Your income should be low enough to qualify for lots more assistance. AND you should not be paying any taxes. Can I connect you with one of these people mentioned above ? Go to county SS office and apply for all the programs available. Will require some time and effort on your part - but the reward will be lots more assistance. I gaurantee results !

You have no idea what you're taking about! There may be a few and I mean a few that are scamming the system but most on these benefits deserve them and need them and are in no way living the grand life. Sounds to me like someone has stepped on your toes and you are coming to this site to B*tch about it. Get a life yourself. You are on this site constantly. It must be miserable to be you!
