They already have this.

My sister was dating this nig some time ago. His sister was milking the system 6 ways from Sunday. She had the state cutting her a check for $1500.00 a month on her daycare for 6 kids. She was getting $1200.00 in food stamps, and had section 8 housing. She had no incentive to get a real job because she was getting over like a fat cat.

Sure, she would occasionally go pretend to get a job, and then get fired a few times a year. But she would keep milking the system.

That said, sweet justice was served when she moved to Illinois, and was there for a few years. She wanted to move back to MI, and get the same 'hook up' she had before, but because of the state's financial situation, she would not be getting the fat cat hook up again from the state, or city without a few years passing. Basically, she had to start the process all over again.
