Yes. An entire 3500 households who receive welfare in Louisiana (according to the article) at $192 per month.
And what small percentage are abusing it?
This is the type of nonsense Republicans get many Southerners to vote for them with their identity politics.
"those people"' & 'our taxes"(the whole $192).

Yet, you seem to ignore or forget that a tiny abuse or waste in this program is not an isolated event, and that when you add up all the programs and all the waste, social programs, defense, or whatever, it adds up a very scary number.
But ya, let's just do nothing about any of these programs since each one in a vacuum amounts to nothing.

Welfare spending in Louisiana is $2.7 billion.
3,500 x $192 = $672,000
So somebody is way off.

You got some kind of link for this?

In 2008, the number of welfare recipients in Louisiana was 19,845.
I thought 3,500 seemed laughably low.

Article was way off. Sorry you believed it. Someone got their numbers messed up.

Your thought process is nonsense.
Stop minimizing waste as it is MY money. It is stealing dollars that should go to the old, young and truly disabled.

That's what you get for trusting numbers compiled by Malaysian investigators.

If you ever got out and about in your community instead of being nothing more than an armchair political commando you'd understand that it isn't a small percentage. Unfortunately this legislation doesn't do a whole lot because they can cash out the balance on the EBT card. Asking the public to report fraud on these individuals is basically asking them to snitch on themselves.

Social security, SNAP, section 8 housing, medicaid
Spending money, groceries, living expenses, medical care
I guess they DONT need "welfare" since we're already paying for everything but their weed.

And welfare =\= cash assistance exclusively.
There's at least a time limit on the cash.
Food stamps and others go on for as long as "needed"
