...leeching off the government.
For example, abolishing the Department of Education would actually be a great thing for students who perform well in academics. Currently, billions of dollars are wasted on students who don't even care about education. For example, students who enroll in college but perform poorly or dropout. Now they have record high student loans that they can't pay back. It's because they were encouraged to go to college even when they weren't suited to attend traditional colleges. They should've went to a trade school instead or join the workforce and work their way up. At least they wouldn't be deep in debt and we wouldn't have wasted money paying their tuition.
If the DOE is abolished and that money is left to the states to manage, the state can incentivize students to attend state schools. Also, they will be more selective in loaning out the money. Therefore, only students who have proven to perform well in school will get the money.
This can be said for welfare assistance and other government subsidies. Only the truly needy should get it and not those who have figured out a way to cheat the system.
When I used to PCA for an elderly relative, it was very difficult to qualify her. Then we went to a Hmong home healthcare and she got it right away. I also noticed that some home healthcare are basically qualifying everyone. I've seen perfectly able-bodied Hmong women qualify. They claim they have PTSD, depression, a bad back, etc. and then you see them dancing in videos, attending parties, fishing, hunting, picking Solomon's Seal, mushroom, marijuana, where they are constantly bending over etc. What happened to the bad back and "I can't walk more than 100 feet"
??
The doctors who sign off on their medical conditions are in on the scam, too.
Some of these older Hmong singles are culturally married and won't get a marriage license. Or they cohabitate. That way, their boyfriend/girlfriend/common law spouse can be their PCA. It takes a scammer to be with a scammer, I guess. I'm very tempted to report these frauds. lol Especially since I have the receipts. lol
