And if you wish to make that system better, support and fund programs that investigate and prosecute fraud. If we just got back and invested fraud losses in 2012, we be able to fund another two years of needed and qualified applicants.

I feel the same way! I've worked hard to get where I am and be able to enjoy the things I do. I can't stand someone extending their hand expecting something for nothing. I help people who help themselves. Thank you for saying what we all think!

So true...I can honestly say that I am disgusted with 47% of this country right now! They are a bunch of Crampers!

Okay... Here is my thoughts "Forget about it." It may sound stupid but, I'd have some one make me some cookies or even make them my self hey, Spike the freakin egg nog, put up the xmas tree and hang the lights out side! Go buy some gifts stuff them under the tree and by the way take a picture with Santa. Something. Why? Because it is XMas every one should be happy. Just be happy. This kinda crap will always be there. Fuck it. It can wait. I guarantee you it will be there later. Or if its important they can leave a fucking message will get back to ya. You are always going to run into those something for nothing folks, just go around them. They want a hand out. That is all they want. That is all they care about that is their objective. You see them on the street corners, unless you live in Arizona it is illegal to loiter on the corner. There is a sign there instead. What these dumb asses don't realize is this shit is not free and yes in order for some one to receive something for nothing is to have really great tits or, some one actually had to pay for it. K. Use your better judgement and go from there.

A rallying cry often heard today in our economically challenged world is “Less and less.” Governments are called to balance their budgets. People are urged to use less energy and decrease consumption of limited resources. It is good advice that we should all heed. In the realm of faith, however, there are no shortages of love and grace and strength. Therefore, as followers of Christ, we are urged to demonstrate His love in our lives in ever-increasing measure. In the apostle Paul’s first letter to the believers in Thessalonica, he urged them to “abound more and more” in a lifestyle that pleases God (4:1). He also commended them for their demonstration of love for each other, and called them to “increase more and more” in brotherly love (v.10). That kind of ever-increasing love is possible only because it comes from God’s limitless resources, not from our own dwindling supply. Poet Annie Johnson Flint wrote: His love has no limit, His grace has no measure, His power has no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus, He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again. The apostle Paul expressed his desire for the believers: “May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you” (1 Thess. 3:12). How much should we love God and others? More and more! Our limited ability to love does not change God’s limitless power to love through us. May the Lord make you increase and abound in love to one another and to all, just as we do to you. —1 Thessalonians 3:12

Sooo F****** True Brother!! No matter what comes our way we use that as a platform to stand on to view our horizons even past negative(move past it),natural disasters,(work together)...anything...not sit, wait, dig the hole deeper, and wait for a hand out. There are real hard working people, heroes or just plain victims of tragic events who really need the help. Thank You finally being a highly publicized voice on this issue.

I too was checking the tour schedule. I couldn't agree more. I have a cousin with 10 kids, 7 different dads. She's able bodied enough to f*(k & have babies, certainly able bodied enough to find a paying job & pay back into the system that she has repeatedly stolen from. Her older children (over 18) already have babies of their own & are recycling the welfare roles! Even one of her younger children (17) has a baby (right after getting out of a drug facility). So sad that many parents have sought not to be involved and/or responsible for their child(ren)s education. You see at Christmas time some families going to the Toys for Tots drives in their new Escalades & their kids have $300 - $400 tennis shoes on, yet no food in the fridge. I watch people like my Father who had worked his entire life, who taught us that we are not entitled to anything, you want it, you work for it, a strong man who is a proud military veteran spend the last 9 months of his life in either a hospital or care facility and my poor Mother being told from the care facility that payment of $11000.00 per month must be remitted now. That for her to get Medical assistance she has to cash in all her insurance policies. Just a sickening, sickening system in many ways. I do believe however that there are people who do not know where to turn for help with their children and that's why I believe in being an advocate. IT FEELS GREAT to see a family smile & thank you, knowing that all they wanted was a little direction as to where to turn. Much Love & Respect to you BEAUTIFUL MAN!!! p.s. - Got my Rebel Soul CD yesterday, THE ALBUM IS AWESOME. My recently departed nephew Seth would have Loved it.

WORD...!!!

I can totally agree. I was just logging on here to look over the tour schedule, when I saw this. It is something I struggle with every day. I teach 8th grade in Toledo Ohio (right by my home in Monroe Michigan :)), and every day I struggle with who really deserves help and who could be doing so much more for themselves. I want to be useful to people who need my help without being "used". . . fine line. Thanks for sharing.
