Stories such as this, I find heart breaking. Targeting America's most vulnerable.

It also reinforces my resolve that the notion advanced by some of moving to a "cashless" society...is totally a bad idea.

The proponents always try to twist it into a matter of only deadbeats with bad credit being opposed to a totally electronic society. But as we see here, if snap accounts can be hacked with something so simple as a skimmer, then all forms of electronic transactions are vulnerable.

Bad idea,

They are forever working to Fix something that IS NOT BROKEN.

A single father of eight kids, also in Oklahoma, recently had $800 stolen from his account. “I don’t have that extra support. I can’t call my mom. I can’t call my sister. We don’t come from money; [they] took from a hard working blue collar worker,” William Hassell told KFOR.


If you don't have 'money', why do you have 8 kids? And that's assuming that this "single father" has 8 kids with the same woman, which I highly doubt.

Don't have children you can't afford to support.

The liberal federal government programs are scams waiting to happen. That's why they happen.

For once I agree with you!! I was watching that "tearjerker" IFCJ commercial last night and wondering why it was my job to clean up someone else's mess? :mad:

And then there is the Go Forth and Multiply -- Nick Cannon. I really don't know much about him but have heard about him in recent years and I do enjoy Mariah Carey's music..

The women love this guy:
