Also while the "welfare person" is out picking up these items perhaps she could also pick up a job application.

Could she pick up some experience and some references at the deli? Or maybe a contact with a hiring manager? If you're ever out of a job and down on your luck, don't count on buying one at the sandwich counter.

We all have to start somewhere, don't we? We've all had a first job, maybe one we really hated and the pay sucked but we did what we had to do. Do you realize immigrants come to this country from all over the world, without speaking a lick of english, find themselves in the middle of a completely different culture and are able to work through it all, openning thriving businesses, work two jobs and go to school? Nothing was handed to me and I started from the very bottom. I never believed it was someone else's job to take care of me, my bills, my kids and to feed us, give us housing, free cable, cell phone, free school lunch, free healthcare.........

It's the real world and it's tough. Pull up your big girl panties and stop whining and make something of yourselves, generational welfare recipients. [/quote]

Most poor people HAVE jobs.   You can't skate forever on public assistance.  For example, with food stamps you have to get a job or you get kicked off.  So this idea that there are career welfare queens is pretty much a myth - except for those committing fraud.  [/quote]
