@babyluv I think what you are trying to say is live within your means right? and yeah there are some people who don't but I think mist people in WIC and medicade are hard working people who would be out on the street with no way to feed their children if not for these goverment programs
Actually I think.... They should cancel wic all together and drop prices on everything. That way we can all afford anything and no one has to get mad! Sounds like a perfect world to me!
@lil_buggie_3 true that im STILL waiting on my Damn refund!!!!! Grr I paid taxes almost a month ago im fretting sick if waiting I need that extra money to pay for classes :-(
@twinkiesmom it depends on which program we are talking about."every situation is different. I didn't mention cutting programs. There are a lot of people who do not want to be on assistance programs and we help them get back on their feet by transitioning them back to work. This works for some and not for others.
@oregonmother i understand that. What I said is there are some people who deserve it and some who don't. I leann they need it but don't appreciate it. If you read what I said I clearly understand bad things happen I'm not dumb. If you were me and saw what I see everyday you'd understand. I'm sticking up for ppl who deserve it but I'm fed up with ppl abusing the systems thats all.
@babyluv8, I posted on another thread about system abuse as well. I personally know a woman who drives a $100,000 Range Rover, carries a $1200 purse, and she gets every form of assistance there is, including W.I.C. She exploits the system & makes it bad for everyone. Mind you, she never goes to the grocery store & her children eat fast food daily. I agree that the ones abusing the system should be stopped & all familes in need should have the benefit of using it.
@BabyLuv8 I work at a daycare too. I see ppl like the ones you r talking about but not often. I get wic but nothing else so I see both sides. I would love to get section 8 and have my rent be $25, but I don't. It doesn't make me want to take that away from the ppl who do though.
@oregonmama is what the one above goes to. And you need to get some of your anger out.obviously I know dropping wic wouldn't drop prices so your comment was stupid. I was being sarcastic so get an attitude adjustment or a sense of humor.
@tishj330 thank you its ppl like that who I'm talking about. They really piss me off. And ppl who purposely keep having kids because they know they don't have to pay for them. @jazzydd I just said/meant I see ppl abuse the system on a daily basis but I see ppl who actually appreciate the assisted help they are given.
Ladies, can we all agree that the Women, Infant, and Children program is worth saving so that our babies all have a chance to be healthy? Yes, some people have abused various government programs but WIC is kinda hard to exploit. I'm all for giving all children a chance to have adequate nutrition. Its really not a fight we should be having.
@OregonMama why should the topic be locked? I saw something that bothered me and I wanted to hear from other women. I understand some ppl didn't express themselves as well as they could have but that doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed to discuss it.
whoever is on wic u don't have to explain shit to these dumbass people on here. they don't know the situation we are in and I dont wish it on anyone to depend on government assistance. one day they might be on govt assistance and defending it and saying how much it comes in handy :-)
@oregonmama the only problem here is that anything anyone says is going to offend someone. Everyone has there own opinions and thats what a subject like this is going to bring. No one needs to get all offended by it but rather read and hear what others think. I only made that comment so snappy because the comment you made to me about "obviously getting rid of wic won't bring down prices" which I obviously understand and know I just said it to lighten the mood but apparently it was taken literal
@babyluv8, I totally understand your frustration but I blame the individual not the whole. Trust me, I've reported her repeatedly, but she knows how to exploit the system. And yes, she has 4 children because she never had to be responsible enough to stop. But I know she's the exception and NOT the rule. Every other family I know receiving assistance is hard working and just in need of a helping hand.
@blessed1508 you make complete sense. I agree with you completely. I'm not trying to offend anyone on wic or any assistance all I have bern trying to say is for ppl who abuse the system are whou upset me. like you said I could at any point have to rely on the system and if so I will appreciate everything I get.
@jazzydD damn it NO! I wish I had the stuff to make some tacos or something but we already ate majority of our food for the month and im waiting till the 7th for my foodstamps so I can go grocery shopping lol So hamburger helper it is tonight
