The Fukin Prophecy
RIP Champ
I am not blaming anyone, nor did I point fingers and say the poor do it more...
Just making a point that the only people losing in this system are the ones not cheating the system...
Mississippi is rejecting nearly all of the poor people who apply for welfare and won’t explain why

Poor people are still losing. Die earlier. More unhealthy. Less safe neighborhoods. Bad schools. Etc. Middle class is in that gray area where they don't have anything that directly benefits them all that much (or it's a mixed bad like Obamacare).
Your own personal experience is just that, your experience. The statistics show that purposeful welfare "fraud" happens few and far between, much less likely than conservatives would like for us to believe. Also, in the grand scheme of things, what people call "welfare fraud" is barely a drop in the bucket compared to the corporate welfare that benefits only the wealthy.
Plus, so-called "welfare fraud" is oftentimes poor people trying to get a few extra food stamps or extend their Medicaid coverage. I had a client who forgot to update the county on her raise so she went over the income limit for food stamps for a few months. They convicted her for a felony. Elaborate welfare fraud doesn't happen anywhere near as often as people think.

Well my personal experience covers damn near entire neighborhoods in different cities and states ...but whatever the case I still think it shouldn't be so readily available and it should def have a lot of rules and regs and a time limit same with section 8

Why should it have a time limit as if there's a time limit on poverty and lack of job opportunities? So those chidlren should go hungry then? What are you saying? Moreover, it's already harder for POC to get welfare compared to white people in red states and has been since the 90s.

Welfare is a social safety net program. It's not "training wheels." The vast majority of people on welfare already have a job. Do you know anything or do you just feel like that people on welfare are lazy and that there are these magical jobs out there that they're just not applying for? And why are you more upset about those people than all the rich people gaming the system? They hurt you a bunch more. In other words, you're one of those people that have a found a way through the maze and now you think you're better than those who haven't. I know the type. Most people on welfare are already embarrassed about it. No one wants to be "reliant." You ever had to represent someone who has to apply for it? And why do you get off on people feeling ashamed anyway?
"Boo hoo"? What type of a$$hole gets happy about welfare being cut when the majority of people benefitting from it are children? Do you hear yourself? Just admit that you hate poor people and move on.

The reason the funds are redirected to other purposes is in order to force them to use it appropriately. The incentives are for PROPER reduction of caseloads and other criteria so that programs funded by the State can show where the money was spent and how effectively it was utilized. For this reason, any and all programs of this nature are highly monitored by State officials for compliance to strict guidelines.
Failure means you get LESS funds the following fiscal period or your program is defunded.
With that said, there is probably something else going on moreso than workers fudging numbers that can cause them to forfeit funding.
That's a pretty drastic drop.

The vast, vast majority of welfare recipients do not "cheat the system."
And the Democrats are right, the the majority of the issue lies in the hands of the wealthy and their political lapdogs, representing their interests.
There's a shocking amount of blindness with people who pretend to be "neutral and hate everybody."
Apparently you've gotten more stupid as you've gotten older.
Bootstraps are a myth.
Idiots in here pissed because they saw someone scrape by with an extra 100 bucks in welfare benefits they shouldnt have received when corporations are getting billions of dollars in handouts and theft. Yeah keep fighting the good fight to keep that extra frozen pizza away from some poor kid.
I don't want to be a dicc but you've provided no statistics and no actual argument besides your feelings. Having "a lot" of rules, regulations, and time limits doesn't actually help people. It just makes things harder for no real reason other than to make wealthy people feel good.
