Ah, I just find this amazingly amusing...just another case of "God letting good things happen to good people"...I think that's what most of them say anyway...

UGH! She is the very definition of WHITE TRASH! I can't believe that the US gov't (I live in Canada, but things are no different here) would let this woman virtually STEAL money from those to actually need it and don't abuse it! I'm not really shocked though, because BM would do the exact same thing - and she kind of is! She brings in pretty much over $3000 a month (more than what FH brings home), but still uses the Food Bank! Right now, her son is on "disability" for ADHD; and when she saw how much money the gov't sends her for it, she was stupid enough to tell FH that SHE was going to try to get on "disability" herself :? Just another scam to get free money so that she can neglect her parental responsibilities and go shopping while everyone else around her works to pay HER bills (oh, sorry! She DOESN'T pay her bills!) and raise HER children! These people make me SICK!!!

If she had school age kids (in public or private school)they would be able to get free lunch. All she would have to do is fill in the food stamp case #. If the family gets food stamps, they can leave income section of the form blank.

What's funny is they won't ask for reimbursement from this woman who has 500K in the bank, but they will ask for reimbursement from ANY man whose ex receives welfare if he's not paying CS, no matter if he's in a freaking COMA...gotta love the crappy laws of this country!

In my state it's kinda wierd how that works. For example. your eligability isn't necessarily based on whether you have monthly income. Even if you don't, if you have over $2000 or $3000 in the bank or in cash, you aren't eligable to get cash or food benefits.

However, you can receive a lump sum of money and if you can also make it disappear from your bank account and you can prove it, you can still receive benefits for that month. For example, I live in Alaska and we get Permanent Fund Dividends. I live in a household of 9. Last year's checks were $1174 per person, which includes all children, so my household got $10,566 in a lump sum. If I had maxed all our credit cards out the month before and then used that lump of money to pay them all off within 30 days of receiving them, if we were on state aid, it wouldn't have counted against us.

Furthermore, it gets even crazier. If you work seasonally, like you are a crab fisherman, you can make $40k a month for 4 months a year, and then qualify for aid for the months you are laid off because it isn't fishing season. Nuts, huh?

Even wealth will not inject character in to an idiot entitlement breeder.

This one not only looks like she has a cavern for a crotch and no moral compass to regulate who she grants access to it, she also has the look of someone with an IQ of less than 2.

Her problem began when she started "thinking" as she is quoted in the article.

Grrrrr!!!!!
