[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 247074, member: 1550"] Thanks :) We haven't done foster care for a loooooooooooong time. I don't think we should get special favors when we did. The kids got medical coverage and we did get subsidies. We still do for L. because he's a foster/adopt. We didn't get any for the other kids. Times were NOT as bad as now when we adopted any of the kids. I never dreamed things would get this bad in my lifetime. Ever. Because of that, I do understand those who ARE cheating. I'm not talking about those who are well off and want to cut a few corners so they can get that new big screen. I mean I understand those on welfare who work under the table from home because they can't afford childcare and their bennies will be gone if they worked full time. I understand those working class folks who do jobs for cash so they don't have to report higher income because income doesn't have to be very high to pay more taxes (or get less tax money back). I don't blame those who don't follow the rules anymore if they are in need. We kind of just look the other way and don't say anything. In our neck of the woods, things are very bad. The unemployment rate is probably close to 10%. Many places have closed down. I've seen too much to judge what others do if I haven't walked in their shoes...jmo. [/QUOTE]
