I stumbled upon a little known kept secret after I was laid off WHICH SUCKED over a year ago. I was collecting on unemployment benefits after which is now extended. NOT SO BAD right, I made just as much if not more with no taxes taken out. My girlfriend applied for diability 3 times to get some more income for us, and she was finally approved for Soc Sec. benefits with the help of an attorney. I still don't work (on the table, lol), we are both on subsistence, she gets partial housing paid for (Section 8) where I live as well as our daughter. I simply claim that I am homeless, and the welfare office HAS TO provide for me. I simple don't make enough money $0 zero dollars. We both get a welfare check every month, food stamps, a Pennsylvania access card (like a credit card), we are eligible for several community services, WIC, free pharmaceutical and walk-in health care at a local clinic etc. If I told you how much we both made each month you'd crap your pants. This is no joke, check it out yourself, ask, find out... It's not what hand your dealt, it's how you play your cards... 5 years, then we move to a different county and it starts all over again, that's how it works folks. I'm not to proud to stand in line at the soup kitchen everyday. WE GET BY very comfortably... thanks Uncle $am, it's about time we help ourselves to the American dream, lol. You tell me who's crazy? Who is the fool? Why pay for the cow when you can get the milk for free? I NEVER took a hand-out before, but now I see things differently, no night shift, no driving, no car insurance, no gas prices, no bosses, overtime, etc
