My turn...

Well we all voted for cleaning up waste, fraud, and corruption in our government didn't we? The mandated (according to Democrats) for real change?

Hey, if this kind of action, steams you.. imagine what they do once you let them go ahead with socialized medicine!...

If these were Investigators from the housing authority I would be in full favor of the program. However to let someone from the District Attorney's Office have free acess to your home is Idiocy on your part.

There are literally hundreds of laws on the books, no matter how hard you try you can not possibly be in continuous compliance with them all.

The chance of some overzealous district attourney filing charges on something they dig up is just to real to give up the protection of requiring a judge to issue a warrent for a search based on credible evidence there is something to find

If you ain't got nothing to hide then you wouldn't care , but that's just my opinion.

I am 100% in favor of random inspection of welfare recipients homes. When they sign on the dotted line asking for welfare, they should be made aware of these inspections or visits. These people are using my money to survive and I want to be assured that this money is going to someone deserving. There are far too many of those low lifes sucking off the system already. I would love to nail those freeloaders. I can't afford the bling or groceries I see them with and it's my money that is supplying them.

This is how Tawney Kittaen got caught with cocaine in her apartment where her kids could get at it.

Honestly, should welfare mothers be allowed to do that? What specific 'right' is this?

If she doesn't like it, let her get off the drugs, slide a spatula under her butt and get a jobn at Wal Mart.

You said it Frank , fact is that the “crime rate” in welfare community (ALL recipients) is high (better than 80%) ...not searching the homes of welfare recipients is in fact federally subsidizing crime. It would make perfect sense to search with out notice the home of any one who asks for help from the government. ...fact is that not being able to pay your own bills is a very VERY large indication that you are in fact spending a large portion of your time doing something other than working.

@Riley34470: Correct. If you're draying unemployment, you have to provide information periodically that you are still unemployed, have been making good faith efforts to obtain employment, and are still eligible for unemployment compensation. Failure to do so automatically stops that compensation. It's in the rules for collecting unemployment compensation.

Social Security? Yep; to keep getting the amount you're eligible for, every year you have to reaffirm that your other income doesn't exceed the allowable amount. If it does, your Social Security monthly checks gets lowered. It's in the rules for drawing Social Security.

Same thing for drug programs, medicare, and medicaid. Periodically, you are subject to review/confirmation of continued eligibility. It's nothing new; maybe the STRENGTH of enforcement is new, but with chopped budgets and more and more families falling into/below the poverty level and seeking eligibility, efforts have to be made to keep the fraud to a minimum.

You want something? Comply with the requirements for receiving that "something." Don't like the rules? No problem; you don't get the "something."

If you're on welfare they should not only check on you but make you stop spitting out children as well. Why is it that welfare people keep having children? Is it that they aren't working and there is nothing else to do or because the more head count the more money? Or both. They really need to regulate the birth rate in some of these families. If young girls at school can get the pill for free then so should welfare couples.

now you pay into social security for 50 years its not a give away thats supposed to be there in cause you become disabled or retire its not welfare its something we paid for and the govt been stealing from i for one paid both sides for years and i have plenty of drugs i spend about 2100 a month if i bought them here a lot cheeper getting them from canada

i see no problem with this you are living off the govt. just like being in the militaty you are govt property. i think they should take this even one step further. since us working stiffs who are providing the taxes it takes to pay these freeloaders have to pass a urine test to get a job or if we get hurt on the job have to pass in order to collect workmans comp that these people sitting home should have to take the same test. if i have to pass a drug test to go to work why should these people be permitted to sit home and buy drugs with our tax money

i guess your right about the search, but i still think the piss test shuold be manditory for all living in the home over the age of 14, one person fails they all lose, might even help with the drug problen,, do drugs no more free money

Wrong.. Social Security right now is being snatched up by our government from all those illegals who technically if they were here long enough could not recieve it without a Social Security number. (The reason seasoned and left wingers like illegals...)

I own a home at age 44, my neighbor owns their home at age 65 and gets a waiver for her property taxes because she is on a fixed income? Im retired too! Thats nothing more than age discrimination! I can no more afford my drugs than she can! And I have to pay taxes!

Don't give me the senior deserving crap either. It is they who continued to vote and re-elect those who have been stealing Social Security blind for decades! They say we need to protect our children's future.. yea.. I know why! THEY are the ones that will be feeding and keeping you in medicine instead of putting that money into their own children's futures!

I hurt my back in 1998, owned my own home(well,me and the bank),I worked 2 jobs, going to college full time and did it all on my own with no help from anyone. After I hurt my back, I went 4 months with no income. Needless to say, everything I busted my ass to get, I was in the process of losing. I called my mortgage company. No help there. In the mean time, got fired from my job because I couldn't work(got hurt on my full time job). I tried collecting unemployment. No help there because Discount Auto Parts said I abandoned my even though they knew I herniated 2 disks in my lower back and 1 in my neck. I was getting desperate. Well, I was trying any avenue I could think of and dealing with severe back pain like I still do today because I was in danger of losing my home. I went to the Salvation Army and without too many questions, they helped me with my bills and one house payment.

I saw black girls with their nails done, weaves in there hair, gold teeth, gold around their necks, fancy clothes and a social worker that actually came out to the waiting area and called one of these girls names real upbeat and happily is the only way I can say it. When the guy called me in he sounded like I was wasting his precious time! And also in the waiting area I saw one white girl with 2 kids that looked like they didn't have anything. And to my surprise(not really) when I went to get in my car and leave, I observed in the front parking spaces 1 new Cadillac, 1 almost new BMW, 1 Lexus and a poor sad looking Pontiac (early 80's model) with 2 carseats. I bet it belonged to the white girl. Anyway, sixty-six and two-thirds percent of my average weekly wage wasn't much to live on as workers comp goes. And It took workers comp 16months to approve my first back surgery. So, disability and so-so security sucks since my settlement wasn't a whole lot(my lawyer sold me out) so life is kinda hard but I will never go on welfare again and no I'm not sponging off the system.
