Just goes to show, you can't help those who don't help themselves. I'm so tired of people making poor life choices and then crying about it like it isn't their own fault.

 

[Magyars]

Well, I'm sure she thought she deserved the money and vacation. Another entitled nit-wit

"Miller justified the extravagance by saying she hoped to inspire her children and teach them that if they work hard they too may be able to afford a Miami mansion. "

Um, yeah... that's not the lesson you're teaching them.

Work hard at playing the tax payers

I have seen several similar stories in the past. Poor man has poor ways.

Where's the problem? The IRS will be sending out an additional 87,000 agents to make sure each and every person stupid enough to work for a living understands that the government doesn't want us doing that. Sounds to me like this young lady got the message loud and clear, she'll probably be in the first round of the next batch of checks to go out.

Unpossible. "Studies Show" cash aid recipients spend the money on "Mostly Necessary Stuff."

It does make me want to go ahead and retire early. I am going to have to write a check for a rather large amount of taxes (fed and state). I feel like a sucker.

Life is not easy if you're fat, lazy and poor.......

Rather see her do it than some damn politician.

If she needs a job...I hear NRA is hiring.

 

[XDdreams]

Not surprised. Mindless consumption with no thought toward the future.

Everyone is missing the positive, she knows the father of her children. Now does he have a job and does he pay child support?

I would never be that irresponsible with $10,000.

I would spend it on a barrel of 5.56 like a normal person.

"She added that she had never been taught financial literary or important lessons on saving cash for a rainy day, something that was offered to her for the first time in the program."

Well there's the problem, nobody ever told her that if you spend all your money today you don't have any tomorrow.
Thanks to this program she now knows better, BUT DID IT ANYWAY.

...nit-wit

Is that the best you can do?

Well, she wouldn't do worse.

So you're saying she didn't really go to Miami, some senator did, and the outfits were for the senator's kids?
