Title of the artical
Funding cuts leave many without home heating assistance in Macon
(http://media.macon.com/smedia/2010/12/15/22/20101215-221428-pic-125665235.embedded.prod_affiliate.71.jpg)
are you pissed off?
should you be?
-
Are you referring to the fact that she seems to be able to buy a nice flat screen TV but
needs expects government assistance to pay her heating bills? Maybe her cousin got her a real good deal on it.
-
So THAT'S why I have five 10-20 year old TVs......because I don't ask for handouts? I'm an idiot!
Holy crap! If I put all of my TVs together in one room, their combined size isn't anywhere near that big.....
Yea, I'm pissed....and I have one of those with their hands out in my immediate family. She was livid when MA turned her down for a few hundred dollars worth of help after she got a job. She threatened to quit to get the money. I almost strangled her!

My nieces mother was your basic crack whore. She was on welfare the whole time I knew her.
The state certified her too crazy to hold a job.
She had nicer furniture and electronics than I ever had in my lifetime of working.
So much for welfare reform.

I don't have face book, but there is supose to be a shit storm going on .

Isn't she the sister of the BHO supporter, famously filmed stating she wouldn't have to worry about putting gas in her car, and paying her mortgage?
If I help him, he helps me,.........
Really?
Sadly, they both will vote to probably re-elect this disaster.

I haven't checked out the Facebook situation, nor do I care to. I don't know if she is a productive member of society or a leach on the system, but I will say this: if it comes down to a choice between internet access (which she must have since she's a FBer) and heat, I'll take the heat. If your budget has no wiggle room, then you choose needs over wants. Your FarmVille may suffer, but you'll be warm and you may assist in reviving the long lost art of letter writing.

many phones have net access now. It could very well be she needs net/phone for work. It also maybe something like she logs on from work or some PC any one can access. I know thats streching the could be's alot. now the TV and x box is what pisses me off.
-
Good point Swoop and exactly the point I've made to my Sis in law.
Get rid of the internet, your home phone (she has a cell too), turn off the lights, lower the heat, get rid of cable, drop the collision on your auto policy (cars paid for), hang your laundry, and stop buying food from a wholesale supermarket!
She's done nothing! Just keeps bitching that she's broke and no one is helping.
I won't let the woman starve but short of that she needs a good kick in the ass.

Love this one:
The article posted n the macon telegraph, I do work and have always worked ,never been on welfare, and if you need help why not ask for it I have worked and paid my taxes just like any other citizen. THANK YOU!!!! then on top of that, HOW DO ANYBODY KNOW IF I WAS EVEN AT Y OWN HOUSE? SO STOP ACTING LIKE YU TOO PROUD TO BEG!!! SEE YOU LATER IN LINE PIMPS AND PIMPETTES!!!!!~Raymeica Kelley
Classic stuff right there.
-
"HOW DO ANYBODY KNOW IF I WAS EVEN AT Y OWN HOUSE? "
Well, the paragraph under the picture identifies her and states she is in her own home. In the only room with heat, but in her own home.

I so want to add something to this threads, but I've got nothing.
I wonder who she voted for in the last election.

People who drive $200 cars on $6,000 rims, and cry because they can't afford gas to go anywhere while they listen to $10,000 stereo's... ::)
There are people who deserve help out there. And then there are people who deserve the famous Archie SLAP! >:(

yep, it always ticks me off when I have some one ask me for some cash/gas at the gas station and they are in a car that is atleast 20 years newer then my truck. Not to mention the fact that its worth a bunch more.
I've been selling a bunch of stuff to make ends meet, trading work for XXX etc... Times are tough.
I've seen way to many people that should not get a dime from anyone get more is SSI, then people that worked thier entire lives do in SS and retirement. Its just not right. Funny how the working folks have old cell phones, but the people on welfare have brand new I phones...

It's all a matter of priorities. Your priorities and mine include frivolous things like mortgage payments, groceries, heat, lights, and the like. Theirs are big rims, I-Phones, and bling.
Personally, I don't care what people spend their money on. Only, if you choose toys over essentials, don't expect me to bail your ass out.
Does that make me racist/bigoted/cold-hearted/whatever? Tough shit if it does!!

PS, please include large cross and matches, I paid the phone bill as well.
FIFY ;D
