Welfare: not just for the poor anymore:

One of the workers here [Warren County, Ohio] just approved an ongoing food stamp case where the family has over $80,000 in the bank, owns a 2001 Toyota and 2006 Mercedes Benz, and a $311,000 home that is paid for. Monthly benefits of over $500 in FS, received over $300 in expedited.

3 household members — husband, wife, and child. Wife recently lost job, husband receives SS benefits.

Keep your 80 grand and Mercedes, force the taxpayers to feed you…it’s change we can believe in!
