[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by drephpe</i> <br /><br />According to my wife, who should know because she works with the issue, TX has added approximately 26,000 new clients to the welfare rolls in the last 2 days, and that number is expected to skyrocket over the next week. And with only a hope of the state being reimbursed by either LA or the feds, so at this point their welfare is being paid for by TX taxpayers and, indirectly financially displaced TX welfare recipients. We're all happy to do it--no griping about it from our side-the welcome mat is out, as Ed has indicated. So under the circumstances, they have no right to gripe about the accommodations or turnaround time for sign-up and benefit receipt offered to them over here.[/quote] <br /> <br />I wonder how many applying for aid, were on aid in NO-LA? Hopefully Texas is not allowing welfare leeches and expects those on welfare to find employment, here in Illinois they will only give you so long, if your a male, you're pretty much SOL, females and then they have to have a child. <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: Reminds me of Mark Twain's exposition of the difference between a man and a dog.[/quote] <br /> <br />I have never heard that one, please share it.[:)] <br /> <br />[quote]QUOTE: Give the 14 year old kid in the johnboat a medal! <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />No more then a medal, let's hope someone keeps track and get's him a scholarship, and steer him towards the public safety field, he would be a great addition.
