Let us give you some welfare so you'll qualify for more welfare.

Did you know that in 15 states, low-income people who don't have heating bills get a dollar a year or more from the government to pay their non-existent bills? This happens so that they can claim more food stamp benefits. Does that make sense to you?

Hopefully, in a bill currently before the Senate, this practice will end. I wonder how it got started in the first place.
