I wish that was true. However, out of every person I know that is on welfare, only 1 truly needs it. The others just get freebies. Those that do work only work a certain amount of hours. Why?? Because if they work anymore they lose money. Ask around. I have worked for many companies, large and small, did Human Resources and Management in sales and retail. I also worked where we accepted WIC & EBT. WIC I have no issue with. EBT yes. Have you ever noticed that right after midnight and it turns into the First of the Month that when you go to Carrs, Fred Meyers and Walmart that families have little children up late at all hours even on school days?? Take a good look. That's because they get welfare. I can't tell you how many people I have ring up as a cashier who eat better than my family. I'm talking crab, lobster, steaks, Starbuck and expensive energy drinks. Then they use their cash for liquor and tobacco. Single moms pay about $400 for 3 bedroom apts &  get cheap childcare.
