More cities should do this...

I think this would be a great way to get delinquints to pay their bills...If you do not pay your bill then you get no service...The electric and gas cpmpanies should do the same...Pretty simple concept to understand...

Whatever works...Dangerous business...I catch this show on occasion about a small group of guys that repo planes, jets and yachts...They got brass balls and get into some tough situations...Big $$ though if they are successful...

truly a delicate situation, trying to seperate a crapload of deadbeats from a person that is really trying to meet ends meet and not succeding.

Somewhere in the annals of public assistance we have failed to not let it be a standard rather then the assistance its suppose to be. People purposely don't work to continue to qualify. People have more babys because it gives them more money. And I am sure there are more conniving ways that I have never heard of.

When I was 40 and needed more money I picked up a lowly dishwashers job at a restaurant making 5.25 and hour. The line cooks were shit bag lazy and disrespectful high school kids but I bit the bullet, I needed $225-$250 a week and the waitresses were nice to me in ways I cannot write here. I worked 6 years 70-80 hours a week. So I have no mercy or tolerance for people who abuse the system.

Its a flawed honor system. There is no such thing as honor any more.

I hear ya...Damn lazy kids today will not cut grass or shovel snow...We would have jumped at the chance...I blame the parents today and society for a lot of this...Down the toilet we go...
