“Article Says Welfare Makes More Sense than Work”

Welfare Can Make More Sense Than Work

This article appeared in The Hartford Courant, click on the title above to get the full story.  A title like this drives me crazy, does it bother you? We have to stop the money printing presses and stop giving welfare to those that can work.

The next thing we are going to see is that welfare income is going to qualify for a mortgage. If the Federal Government is writing new laws all the time that haven’t been legally approved, it might not be such a far-fetched idea.

I get calls all the time from folks on welfare asking if they can get a mortgage. I will sometimes ask how long they have been collecting section 8 welfare and how long do you expect to be collecting welfare. You don’t want to know the answers to the questions. I wonder what I would say if it was possible, actually you already know the answer.
