I'm sure the federal government alots a certain amount of money for it... and each state can do what they want. I mean i realize that if you dont use what you're alotted that the funding would be slacked back. But in louisiana... im sure because of the hurricanes and what-not they are handing it out like candy.

Welfare has its place, I was on welfare for two months once while looking for a job.
There are some problems with the system, however.
Namely the classes. If you have never attended a welfare job search class, you are so missing out on 4th grade common sense. What they need to do is provide job skills.
This is what welfare classes in oregon teach you, as well as how to save money on stamps by hitchiking to the place where you have to pay your bill, and they also tell you to hitchike with your kids if you have too, because that saves gas vouchers.

Not to mention the fact that 'dumpster diving' is a crime in the state of Oregon.

If you're gonna kick someone in the testicles, anyone but me please, I don't need another surgery down there.
As for the jobs: Yeah it's hard as shit. I wouldn't know since I'm 3 years too young to legally have an actual job, but my mom was laid off and was going to school, job hopping, and searching for the right one for about 4 years. She finally found a job.
Good luck, imagine how much harder it's going to be finding a job to stick with for the rest of your life.

Bwahahahahahahahaaa! I used to poo on the clock all the time, but since it was a writing/editing gig, I wrote it off as "thinking" and "creating."
I'm still in college, but damn. All that bullshit out of the HS guidance counselor's office about "oh, even people with a little college experience have it easier at finding work!" is just that--bullshit.
Good news: two job offers today. Bad news: they don't start before my rent is due.
I had the uncomfortable conversation with the parents today over $$$ for rent. Eesh. Shoot me in the face now, please. Yes, I know they're retired. Yes, I know they don't have any money, either. But I also have un poopload de cash due ASAP.
I've been looking into call centers, but 'tis a small town. One didn't want to hire someone who was unsure how the fall load would be (I've since gone to lying my ass off re: schoolwork, and that sucks) and the rest haven't called back at all. Hell, even Starfucks wouldn't hire me (and as much as I don't like their coffee, the insurance would've been worth it).

Yeah, it's bullshit. Complete and utter bullshit.
My parents HAVE money and still don't help me. I had to go to a church service to get help with my rent for June (which isn't even close to being paid off.) That took some swallowing of pride. I'm moving to a new apt. on the first because I'm being evicted from this one.
I had to ask my neighboors to borrow some cat food and cat litter. I ran upstairs crying b/c I was so embarassed.
Oh, the joy.
I worked and went to school full time as well. It's really hard.
Even if you did start a job before your rent was due, you likely wouldn't get paid in time. What is your degree in?

One of the easiest jobs in the world to get, and also one of the shitties, is telemarketing. They'll hire just about anyone who can read and type.
Ouch. I have had to move back in with my parents TWICE before. Never, for as long as I live, will I ever do that again. Nor will they ever let ME do that ever again. LoL
Maybe when they're old and I can tell THEM what to do. Or punish them by not changing their diapers. Or put banana peels on the floor.

Fucking balls. I'm on my own whether I like it or not. My folks are retired. Shove that up your cavity of choice; it's already up mine so far I can't think straight.
Shit, folks.
Anyway, I got two job offers lately, so...fuck this bullshit.
And it's not like I care what everyone else is thinking, anyway. As long as you're happy with what you do and I'm happy that I have a fucking job and I'm not mooching off the system like the usual leach, all's right with the world (er, mostly).
ETA: Definitely found a webcomic that sums up my frustration pretty well, haha: http://www.giantitp.com/comics/oots0071.html
