I just talked to my white trash cousin today, who declared she is going to community college for free, on the govts tab of course. Her husband is going to a 4 year college, free.

Why? Because they are on welfare, thats right, shes 18 and already has 2 kids. She gets WIC support and Section-8. She cant hold down a job for more than a couple weeks, but the govt can shell out $50,000+ for both of them to go to school, not to mention how much they suck up in welfare a year.

I am currently working my ass off to get out of debt just so i can go to school on enormous loans, and this waste of space is getting a free ride.

Maybe i should marry my gf and pump out some kids, and quit my job, so i can do things the easy way.

God i hate this country sometimes. By all rights she should be starving in the gutter, and shes living better than me.

I think the justification is: it will be cheaper in the long run for the country if they educate themselves and get better paying jobs. However, we all know in reality they will continue to live on the federal tab.

WIC is to help make sure kids have healthy foods such as milk, juice, cereal, cheese, eggs, infant formula, tuna and carrots while providing nutrition education to improve health

You don't mind if the kids don't get punished for their parents stupidity do you?

In the long run your hard work and dedication will pay off - be it through real life results or some strange forces like karma. In the long run your white trash cousin will have graduated from a community college with two children and a deadbeat husband to take care of.

Im saying, why work hard when you can get it all for free on the governemnts tab anyway?

What kind of retarded laws made this kind of loophole. Its INCENTIVE to be a deadbeat loser.

I cant even begin going to school for over a year, i have debt to pay down as it is. I just find it absolutely rediculous that they get free college.

No i completely agree with WIC, i just noted that to point out that they get *EVERYTHING* for free because they cant hold down a job. They just bought a $2000 computer at best buy, guess whos paying for it.

I understand. You could do the exact same thing if you want.

Most people don't do it or don't want to do it because they respect themselves, they have dignity, they want to work towards their goals, they want to accomplish something. Sure I could play dumb and let the government pay my way, but I would feel less of a person if I didn't take things into my own hands. I will have a lot of debt after school, but I will take that anyday over getting some government handouts. I will value my schooling and my assets and myself more just by knowing that I've got most of the stuff in my own hands, you know?

It sucks that there are loopholes, but you should be worrying about yourself. There's tons of people out there taking advantage of the system. ODB rolled up in a limo to get his welfare check once, and look what happened to him.

Ok, maybe that was a bad example.

Its not like she just showed up here from another country without Paying a DIME into the system and gets better benefits than I do while I WORK for the state! Dont get me started with the current state of our welfare programs here in the US (and CALI too)
