LMAO

people in general never cease to amaze me

[Waver]

All three complained that the system the Macon-Bibb County Economic Opportunity Council uses to give out the assistance needs improving.

Yeah, it needs to be improved....Why the hell should someone who has that kind of a tv get any assistance? WTF I dont have a tv that big and I pay all of my bills with no assistance.....I think I am going to have to glom off the state for a while to have nice things

Maybe she won it at a raffle of sorts? Or it was a gift?

I do see the irony, I'm just pointing out that perhaps she didn't buy it. :thumbsup

Just cause you won it doesn't mean you can't sell it to pay for some heat :/

[TheRX7Project]

^^ Then perhaps she should sell it and pay her own Goddamn heat bill? I'm not sayin, I'm just sayin.

EDIT: Ha same time post^^

Yeah that is BS, my brother bought his big flat-panel TV from there (he had no credit history) and was paying $28/WEEK. So if she can afford $28 per week for a TV, she can afford $28 per week for heat.

Very true.

[Waver]

OR.......


Maybe they got the 5 finger discount on it...............mmmmmmmmm

[Neal Steffek]

If you look under the TV, there is also a Xbox 360 :fire

[Silver86]

someone should post that article on failblog.

[SSLEVO]

Hell, i don't even have a 360, i do have a tv about that size though, lol

[nismodave]

Well....The TV will throw off heat...

I still have an older CRT TV. Damn. It's freakin Macon Georgia! How cold does it get there?

[Russ Jerome]

Macon is my usual sleep over when driving to FL, gets pretty dam cold oddly enough.

[pOrk]

Its been 30's in northern florida last 2 weeks

Biggest tv in my house is 40, can't afford cable tv but I can afford heat :)

I think there should be a special law enforcement group that makes visits to homes where people receive assistance of any type and if they see fancy electronics that aren't necessary such as the tv's and gaming systems, or if they have car payments for high end cars then all assistance is revoked. If they can afford this crap they don't need assistance for basic necessities....

Yea, and raise taxes to pay for the staffing that would be required for that? Give me a break.

Assistance should ONLY be granted to those that put into the system, people who who work and get laid off and get down on their luck. Most of these grubs that abuse the system haven't worked a day in their lives, and that is sickening.

It was mine too once, then I got my hubcaps stolen in the middle of the day in a restaurant parking lot.

[Cjburn]

You guys would be amazed the shit I see going into a lot of people's homes who are on assistance. 80 degree apartments, bigger tvs, stereos, Escalades, all this shit happens with more than half of the people on some type of assistance.
