welfare hogs: the scourge of education - ham - 10-12-2009

I recently read a thread on a site posted by a self-proclaimed single mother with 2 children and no alimony. That already paints a not so endearing picture of the individual, but after all it's her problem.
This individual claimed she suddenly discovered she had almost used up her Can$ 50.000 provincial study subsidy, while collecting her federal one as well, plus others such as food stamps, housing benefits etc.
She claimed to have used it up on living expenses because she claimed to be either unemployed or working occasional jobs; and she was only halfway through her degree via distance learning!
By the way, such degree should have costed her only about half that first amount only.
Her idea was to trick the system relocating to another province to get another $50.000...
Guess how much this welfare hog will cost to society?
Do you think she'll be able to pay big brother back, or rather won't she slip down bankruptcy avenue like many in her position?
This system is bound to collapse.
So if it's not war to invade a foreign country so that clowns in power can shower their bankrollers with hefty contracts, it's this...while you foot the bill.

That is socialism in a nutshell.  Like any Ponzi scheme, eventually you run out of new money to pay back the old money.  When the taxpayers no longer have anything left to take, the welfare system collapses.  

If the welfare queen wasn't getting paid by the state to breed like a stray hound would she be cranking out the little food stamp munchers?
