The state said this week it will not participate in a federal program that would provide $120 in benefits to each eligible child, citing administrative hurdles.
Don’t forget the “welfare queens” lies that a lot of the right believes. I know a lot of idiots that believe poor people are poor because they’re lazy.
My credit was destroyed while I was still in college and hadn’t yet built up basically any credit. My crime for having my financial future ruined for the next 7 years? I was hit by someone who turned their SUV into me because they didn’t look whether there was anyone in the crosswalk, and I was a broke college student, so I couldn’t pay for all of the medical bills.
(Tangential note: I don’t like the phrase “hit by a car”. Until cars are fully autonomous, no one ever gets hit by a car; they get hit by a person driving a car. Also, fuck that lady and her trying to get out of the $67 ticket she got for hitting me and permanently injuring my knee. “I didn’t see anybody” isn’t an excuse. Especially when that person was wearing orange. If you do that, you just didn’t look.)
Edit: Also, the US credit system is a scam designed to benefit the well off and punish those who are poorer.

Corporations are bigger welfare queens than poor people will ever be.
it doesnt matter how lazy they are - if poor people keep having children, they will remain poor.
Tell that to a $100,000 medical invoice that bankrupted you because you got sick.

Don’t know when it was, but nowadays it’s generally best to just ignore medical bills like that vs bankruptcy.
Wooooooow. Some people really out themselves as ignorant and cruel in a spectacular way.
