Abuse of well-intentioned government programs is really nothing new, and certainly nothing that just started with this administration. I do consider it somewhat ironic that the receipt is from a store in Wisconsin, I figured with their most recent "bust the unions" fiasco they had all of their public programs well in hand!!!!!!
Welfare fraud, and fraud within all the government programs has been rampant for many years. If you think the reciept for the lobster and steaks is outrageous, how much money do you suppose is wasted in administering and maintianing the system?
As Ken said, the answer is in the hands of the voters. Don't expect the current batch of politicians from either party to do a dang thing about the system that was put together under their "watchful eyes" over the last three or 4 decades.... This isn't anything new, it's just another sign of "business as usual" in government. Just the way things have been for the last 30 or more years since the people of this country allowed the government to run things instead of being our duly appointed representatives. Want to point the finger of blame??? Try complacency and apathy on the part of the general public........Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, Live for Today!
