The sense of entitlement some people have just pisses me off.
The girl in question looked kinda like she was a few sandwiches short of a picnic. One of the first things I think looking at her face legitimately is "Did her mom drink or do drugs." She doesn't look deformed, but maybe some minor fetal alcohol effects. She also sounded like
she was on drugs, of course.
At any rate, I also wonder if the mindset that tends to ingrain inter generational dependence on the system was a part of it (that's just a guess- I deal with it every bloody day at work- it's depressing). She could well have also blown all that money already, buying the house, the car, whatever else (again, quite possibly the drugs).
She could be being honest when she says "money is tight right now." If this is the case, should she have managed it better? Absolutely. Should she be penalized? Probably, but define "should." The state should have done a better job of watching where its money leaked to, but it never does. And, obvious though it seems to draw the line at her quick expenditure, there's to some extent a slippery slope s far as how much we "should" help people (and what people "deserve" help) after they experience financial hardship partially due to their own bad decisions.
At any rate, she sounds like a ghastly idiot with no grasp of morals, but I'm not convinced it's safe to assume she had a full bank account while using food stamps.
