that costs us $1.4374 per person. 4 times as much!>>
...the figures you used were just for the 440 g vaca... but
<some people cheating is to minimize the role of the government.
You say you don't think you're "above" anyone.
I disagree with you, but I'm pretty sure
"Children shouldn't be living with their druggie parents, I'd be happy to pay more taxes for them to be in good foster homes in order to get them away from their parents. Who would want them to stay with parents like that? You?"
Just so you know, failing a drug test doesn't automatically make you a "druggie" or an unfit parent. I have smoked pot as a parent, my DD's father smokes pot occasionally, my parents smoked pot when I was little, my DD's grandmother and great grandmother still smoke occasionally. It hasn't impacted ability to parent for any of us. Just like having a couple glasses of wine doesn't impair our ability to parent. I guarantee you my child doesn't think I or her dad are bad parents, and if you think taking kids out of loving homes due to one failed drug test won't cause them irreparable harm then you are kidding yourself. And before you go off saying that people on assistance shouldn't be spending money on pot, I'd like to remind you that many people do grow it themselves, or stop buying it when they hit hard times but it stays in their system for far longer than that.
Also, pretty much every drug that can be tested for (not all of them can be) washes out of your system completely within a few days, so if you wanted to get welfare but continue to do hard drugs it wouldn't be all that difficult.

"I agree with you on the drug use issue. If they are doing drugs the food stamps are often sold for the drugs and the kids aren't eating anyway. I know, my mom did it for years."
It's not really possible to do that anymore since the benefits are drawn off of a debit card. This change was made nationwide about 10 years ago.

Here's what truly gets me about your train of thought with mismanagement of tax payers money. You are picking on the little guy, you are picking on the person who has the least ability to fight back
