Bad Service wanks about welfare and made-up statistics ever_abstractmakes a post to bad_service about a trip to the grocery store involving an incredibly obnoxious cashier-manager duo who give her a hard time about WIC.
I'm all for getting rid of it entirely. People used to help each OTHER out, instead of begging the government. And it bothers me. A lot. I don't get paid to just exsist-I have to work. I know some people CAN'T get jobs... but it seems extrodinarily unfair. Too many people leech off the welfare system without even ATTEMPTING to find work or get themselves to a better position. The stereotype of the drug addict mother to 6 different kids all with different daddies is true for about 65% of people coming through the various types of welfare (taken from a friend who does, indeed, work in a WIC office).
