Naive?? As I said..30 yrs working as a program director in housing & community development just might give me a few insights into this issue that go a little deeper than what you're hearing on FOX news or reading in the Herald. I know I probably won't change your "someone told me so" perceptions that everyone on public assistance is dealing drugs, etc. but "for crying out loud" before you fall too deep into the all pol's & cops are crooks, all gov. workers are lazy, teachers got it easy, why should I pay taxes..I get nothing for it, well of uninformed public opinion, take a more in depth look at the actual situation. And Fishbone...if I knew someone was a drug dealing, thieving scum bag in my neighborhood I'd drop a dime...not BS about it on a fishing forum.

Sorry Sokinwet, but I don't take my information from any television or newspaper reports. I get it from seeing it happen and from people who work as public servants. As for dropping a dime on a drug dealer who's cheating the system, it's not that easy. Tell a welfare case worker that one of their clients is dealing drugs and driving a BMW and they'll shrug their shoulders. Someone making that kind of money isn't going to risk their lives over their job.
