Life Line program wants more money

You know, my mom worked in the projects and in the early 70's and throughout the 80's you can see that the "poor" were making a great living on the gov't tit. Working for the city didn't yield her much money in salary, but the benefits of a union job helped her keep food on the table, medical and dental bills paid and a good retirement for her. We barely had enough money to survive on the gov't salary she had. As the 90's approached, her salary got better.

What I did notice though, those "poor" people were wearing an awful lot of gold jewelry, had lots of nice new clothes and the latest toys and gadgets where we had to struggle for a full load of food in the house and crap clothes from Kmart.

I know a good deal of this shit is due to lazy gov't workers in the welfare department. They just never bother to check up on things, cross check paperwork, how much one family is scamming the system etc. Why should they? They have a secure job and are never held accountable. The buck is too easy to pass on to someone else too.

My mom would do her level best to be upright, honest and not allow the scammers to get by with cheating the system for a free roof over their head, but somewhere, somehow, someone overrode her good efforts Then there was the big scandal where her bosses got caught embezzling the housing authority. Lovely isn't it?
