Stop Abuse Of Welfare System

I have known for the past 20 years of people who misuse welfare --the food bank and all other services available to the needy. WM is correct in saying that all of these resources should make it a little harder for people to get these services.

I know of several people as I write this who have been misusing the system for about 20 years and yes I have called in this info to welfare but to no avail. They talked their way out of it and even had the husband move out for awhile so as to make it appear that they were separated.

Maybe social service agents need to fight to be able to look around the home--look for signs that a man lives there when there is only supposed to be women or a mother and her 3 daughters. In this case, daddy lives there only part of the time and the wife works under the table and uses social services as well as the food bank etc.

Lets do more to make it harder for the people misusing the system so they are unable to lie. Check bank statements for the past 3 months not just the month that we are in. Check out their SIN and find out if they have been working. I do work and have also seen several people apply for a job. Have their social worker call to be sure they are working and as soon as that is set up, they quit. It must be nice to be independently wealthy and not have to work and that is what I would call abuse of our system.

Lets crack down on them and stop this from happening.
