can't say I'm shocked, people like this bilk the system so others that might actually need the programs can't get in.

remember when 60 minutes used to be a real news program, I saw a story WAY back when about a couple that showed up to the welfare office in their caddy to pick up the check 

it's been abused for a while, the scale of the abuse is escalating....

Just for a laugh and to see for myself how the system works I recently applied for food stamps.

Yeah, yeah I know I could have been wasting a government workers valuable time.

Letters mailed to me arrived weeks after my appointment dates. Voice mails and letters I wrote were ignored..

As a school bus driver I clear about $1,000 a month .

I was denied because I earn too much even though my outgoings each month are more than that.

It's a funny old world.

If I had been awarded food stamps I would not have used them. My savings are enough to keep me going for a few more years whilst I contimue to look for full time employment..
