suing the government for back welfare is not good.
I recently heard where some senior and disabled ladies at a subsidized apartment complex were getting high utility bills that were not supposed to go beyond 30% of their checks and they got a lawyer to get their promised benefits. The electricity bills were plus or minus $100. High amounts for low, fixed incomes, I agree. The electricity costs are high for everyone around here especially in the summer for A/C. They got the ball rolling and their subsidy for utilities was tripled. One of them complained about not having been able to buy Christmas presents in past years and now they are having their lawyer sue our government to pay them back welfare subsidies.
There were and are years when a lot of people who weren't or aren't on government programs could not or cannot afford to run the AC that much, even when it is hot, or buy Christmas presents. But suing the government for back welfare is not good. The attitude of either end of the spectrum is growing more radical. Both ends seem to be growing larger and both think they are entitled to things that aren't theirs, whether it be back welfare subsidies or corporate welfare enticement giveaways with no clawback or responsibility attached or not enforced.
