quote:Unfortunately this is true in many black communities. My wife is a social worker for the school system. She was telling me about evaluating a young black male and asked him what job/career he would like to do when he grew up. He said, "Nuttin." She asked if any of the men in his family had jobs or careers and he said, "Nah, dey just hang out and cut up."
Now, we have families who are expecting assistance their while life. Like the last interviewer said in the promo, that is the goal.
I told her no fricking way. There's no way that no one in his whole extended family did not have a job. She insisted that they didn't. Said the mother and aunts all got welfare and none were married because it would cut their benefits. The men just leech off of them. Unfrickingbelievable.

I really didn't realize how rampant welfare fraud/abuse was until I started hearing stories from my wife about it. It's disgusting what we've allowed it to become.

Is there a lot of fraud? My guess is there is just a shite ton of abuse which is allowed by loopholes in the system. People don't marry so the mom can collect a check and the dude can work or just leech off the chick.
