I don't think everyone should be punished due to a couple who are abusing the system.
I dont think everyone should be punished either. I was simply stating that there is abuse that goes on and I personally think there is a lot more than people want to beleive. Let's face it, getting a check for 2 years is longer than it needs to be. If I had to I would work in a warehouse at night and drive pizzas during the day. Do whatever it takes to keep me and my family going. There are jobs out there, just shitty ones that people are unwilling to work.
