Let's talk about the Welfare Queen!

So I'm managing some properties, and here comes the section 8 housing applications. Yep, welfare moms.

And every one of them had the exact maximum number of kids, that was most efficient for collecting benefits, according to the size of the unit they applied for. I'm sure it was just a coincidence.

Section 8 housing - √
food stamps - √
free lunch program for the school kids √
money back from the IRS √
food bank √
school supplies donated √
extra nutrition program for young kids √ (I forget the name of it)
low income phone service √
low income gas and electric service √
free medical √

and more that I didn't even know about.

These were healthy women - they could have gone to work, but why should they? They couldn't have a man in the house without upsetting the welfare free bus trip, but they had male "visitors" from time to time.

The best fraud cases I heard about, were the ones that had enrolled for benefits, in three or four states. They lived near the point where the state lines came together, and just "hopped" from state to state, to pick up their monthly benefits.

Two of my friends also convinced SS that they were "disabled", and got a check every month, that way. Neither was disabled at all, but they knew how to act up, so it appeared they had "Asperger's Syndrome".

I hired them for manual labor, from time to time. One of them, was a good friend, and died from leukemia before he was 35, at Stanford Hosital. OK, Mike was so ornery, he maybe did have Aspergers.

RIP Mike.
