Myths:http://womenslawproject.wordpress.com/2010/11/02/debunking-the-myth-of-the-%E2%80%9Cwelfare-queen%E2%80%9D-who-actually-receives-tanf-benefits/ Many things I've seen on here are Myths, passed on verbally, on forums & in the media. There are a lot of sites w/info. Many peeps you see are not the only ones needing assistance, such as the elderly, veterans, children etc. I'm sure some are shopping for the above mentioned too. It's a shame that many don't remember one rule : "Judge not, lest you be judged." I'm also surprised at the amount of peeps that get mad at some needing a helping hand, but say very little about the trillions of $$ by Corp. welfare.

When I get an application for employment turned in to me at work, I can always tell who's drawing unemployment. They always "forget" to leave a telephone number. I had a person come into me at work, and beg me to sign a paper stating that he was here and applied for a job. I asked him if he applied online, he told me no. He stated he just need to get a certain amount of signatures so he could keep getting unemployment. I told him I wasn't going to sign it, and he got angry at me. Some people don't even feel they have to make an effort for a better life. Get a job. Indeed.com has plenty of listings around here. People can make a buck if they chose too, don't give me the economy is bad story. Do what you need to do to support yourself, or run home to mommy and daddy if you can't.

Probably why he did that was hoping that the company he worked for calls him back when work picks up. That's one of the reasons why they don't really look for a another job. They just sit there and keep collecting unemployment until they hopefully get called back to work.

Most places now hire thru temp services. That's another reason they won't apply for another job. Get their unemployment ,then find another job ,stops receiving unemployment due to new job. person takes job and lasts a week or 2. Then they screwed themselves permanently from getting back on unemployment.

I don't think unemployment needs to be reformed. Your employer by law has to take out unemployment deductions from your check . So every employee is paying into the unemployment,thus are entitled to draw what they paid into unemployment. It's not public welfare where dead beats that never worked can collect from.

Go out to Kroger some night between 11pm-4am (since they don't have to work) and the link people are easy to spot, pajama pants, full bascart of food (lots of name brand soda and meat-steaks etc..) kids running around screaming and crying(school nights of course) than when the cart is good and full they tell the u-scan checker to open a lane. And the people paying cash can go and check themselves out at the u-scan. Around 5am the working people start coming in.. I agree with the "theactualtruth" Ive seen that at gas stations around town lots of times, while we pay for them to sit home. Illinois has lost control. I wish the shut down in the government would have lasted a lot longer. What would they do without that link card for free food? work maybe? get a job? no they get more $$ to stay home and make kids. Have you heard that now some on link will sell you $100.00 link for $50.00 cash. That's when there is 2-3 women together or 2-3 guys together, sneak up and take a listen.. Sad
