Just another Bill up on Capital Hill

Really, I am all for people not using their cash assistance for alcohol and cigarette's, but you can't stop people from getting the cash assistance out as CASH or else they will not be able to pay their bills.  I don't see landlords installing a swipe card to get money from renters, nor do I see electric company or gas company to start taking the EBT card.

Why are they wasting their time visiting bills that don't even logically work in THEORY!!!

If you want to get people to be working, GIVE THEM HELP.

As soon as people have a $ to their name they are required to drop help, and so they can never get ahead... They manage to stay right where they are.

Big banks can get bailed out of their bad choices, the state and federal governments can be billions and trillions of $ in debt, but DAMN THE PEOPLE for getting help and not getting off fast enough ...

OMG it just pisses me off!

Create more jobs, create more training opportunities, make class sizes smaller in the larger communities and make sure every one has access to great learning materials that are UP TO DATE.  Give kids after school programs where they can gain pride for themselves, their community, and the world as a whole.

THIS is how we make change.
