Also, if the police are called to the property for a drug related problem, it's reason for immediate eviction and ceases all money and assistance. The next issue is the idea that people on assistance sit home on their asses and do nothing. While I agree that there are a few people that abuse the system like that, most do not. Mothers of babies do stay home with them, but once they reach school age (about 4yrs old) the child goes to preschool, and the parents.. mothers AND fathers must work off the money and any other assistance they receive. They usually send the mothers to offices and fast food restaurants - fathers to factories and fast food restaurants too. Mind you, they are not receiving pay checks for this, they are only working off money they receive... IN TIME... the system is trying to get them off assistance and working on their own. Ok, and the last thing is people who receive social security. They are not treated special either. The prescription insurance they have that they HAVE to sign up for, they must pay a "spendown" for. This spendown ranges anywhere from $50 to $700. And this money comes out of their SSI/SSDI checks. Some people never reach that spendown, which means they will not receive their medications for that month. Even if they reach that $700 or whatever... they STILL have to pay a co-pay to the pharmacy for each prescription. It's a damn shame when the people out there abuse the system...it's them that give the honest ones a stigma to society.
