I find it very difficult to feel sorry for those struggling to make ends meet that continue to foolishly squander their resources. There are those that between the unreported income in an unwed couple situation, food stamps and other government subsidies have more than those who work daily and provide for their families that cannot receive any assistance because of their income levels.
-
The system is broken and someone needs to step to the plate and fix it. When someone that has worked their entire life and is receiving retirement benefits is struggling to find the means to meet monthly medical expenses and even eat, while those who continue to work the system as their families have for generations have twice the income there is something seriously wrong.
-
I propose stricter policies be put into place with surprise visits and inspections occurring for those receiving government assistance of any type. I also propose that anyone receiving any type of government assistance be required to have a physical and if they are able to work, they must perform at least 10 hours of community service per week while receiving benefits.

Stricter policies and more follow up would decrease the fraud and create more funds for those that are truly in need. If you agree, you are encouraged to write or email your congressperson and tell them, “You’re tired of people taking advantage of the system”.
-In the meantime, don't be afraid to report suspected fraud in any government subsidy program. This can be done anonymously in writing, by telephone or by internet. It is only when we get involved can we make a difference.
