[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 1011801, member: 1944"] While mostly I agree, there are people who may have been productive in the past and have a house, and a decnt vehicle and in order to get help in hard times are made to sell that car, and can only have like 1500.00 in the bank, or they have to deplete it, and get rid of the car. And then it makes it much harder to pull themselves back up. And I think that is the trick, get them stuck in the rut called welfare. By taking anything they had of value, to get them to qualify. From what I know a person with that much money in the bank would not qualify. Sometimes the people who need just a little help, are told all or nothing. Be totally on welfare, or no stamps, no utility help, no assistance of any kind. For instance I know of a couple who just needed some help with food. And they were offered the whole bundle or nothing. [/QUOTE]
