Highway, that's not what I'm talking about...I'm talking about the 'generational public aid' cases hon...Where for them, it's become an intutionalized way of life and whole families have been in the system for several generations...

And unfortunately because of those types of cases, people who really need the assistance are either being denied or the assistance available is drying up. There simply isn't the funds available to offer any useful/finanacial support that's needed by those who need it most.

That was what I was saying. Because of the 60% or more abusing the system, there's 60% or more who aren't receiving the help they desperately need. And of the 40% or less that are receiving some help because they really need it, they're not receiving all the help they deserve because the other percent has gotten their share taken out at the expense of others.

Personally, we need a complete overhaul and reassestment of funds going out. Some type of group that overlooks those funds and guarenteeing that the funds go to those who need it most, then to those that need some type of assistance, and get those off of it that don't need it at all.

But unfortunately, to do so means finding the funds to impliment such a task, and in the end that just means that those that need it most will do with even less help then what they already are receiving and fewer people who really need it getting denied...It's a vicious circle.

The only way it could be accomplished, is those that do know of fraudulant cases, reporting those cases to the proper departments. It may smack of being 'big brother's watching', but for every fraudulant case reported, 1 family that really needs the help can get that help. And those who need it and are already receiving it, get a bit more help as well.
