I get foodstamps b/c I have a lot of people to support and some of which are not able to work, some are too young. I hate people that cheat the system. It makes the gov't make all these new rules that make it harder on us who need them. I work hard,but I still need some help.

Not typing their answers clearly and making sure their question is actually READABLE, and understandable.\nI have skipped MANY question, simply because it's not clear what the questionis even about!\nIf they just took the time to think about and read their questions before they post them, to make sure others will understand it, I'm sure there'd be a LOT more replies.

I live in California...I happen to know some women who do this for a living. And let me tell you that they rather do this to support their families or their expensive habbits than depending on their families or the goverment foodstamps. I think we don't give them credit. But the only reason we don't give them credit is because of their stereotype. Yes some of these women are without ethics and some have to do it because of necessity.

I think they are monitored haphazardly.  Sometimes if you are reported, I understand they just pull it rather than reviewing it, but I don't know for sure.\n\nIf you were pulled for that reason, you must have made a compelling argument....

I'm not one of those people that believes "once a cheater always a cheater".  I think people can change if they are sincerely sorry, and get some help for the problem that made them cheat in the first place.  As far as trusting the cheater, that is something you have to answer for yourself.  Maybe you can't at all.  Maybe you can with some counseling.  You have to make the choice for you.

Once a cheat, always a cheat.\n\nWhat makes you so different?

Wealthy people never feel wealthy enough, so that's some of the reason... But why do people (wealthy OR poor) cheat?  Most people cheat because they feel "entitled" to the federal funding that they think "everyone else" is getting... Some people cheat because they are disgusted with themselves for not having saved enough (or at all) for their child's education...  Others cheat because they have been misinformed about the availability of funding (everyone knows that there's something called a Pell Grant, but few people realize how poor you have to be to get one; when people see that they weren't awarded one, they seem to set their morals aside in their efforts to qualify...) \n\nBeing that Financial Aid administration is, well, my life (or, at least, my livelihood), I've seen all manner of cheating (some creative, some not).  I agree with families when they say that the system is unfair.  It does tend to over-estimate a family's ability to pay.  However, people HAVE to realize that same system that is inflating their EFC is also inflating the EFCs of people much poorer than them.  \n\nSome people who are usually very thoughtful become incredibly selfish when it comes to things like taxes and income... These people need to realize that, often, what they consider a financial burden is minor compared to other families' hardship... I KNOW that having to pay for braces or home repairs is expensive... I know it's going to put you deeper in debt.  But when I have students whose parents are battling cancer or who don't have parents at all... I have to set priorities....

I don't think who one does it with is the issue here...the issue is CHEATING and cheating is wrong regardless of who one does it with.

How cynical and apathetic are we becoming!\n\nIt is the electorate that determines who will have the credentials.\n\nIf the system seems that money, name and power is all it takes, we have ourselves to blame!

Cheat is usaully associated in a bad way. I feel that we cheat becasue we want life to be easier. When your young, when you are renting an appartment, you will most likely have bills to pay. Like electricity, water, heat, and the most important, your rent. I think some people cheat because they get a thrill of it. To see if they can get away with it or not. It could also be a race to get bigger and better.

You will always get dishonest people who want to make as much as possible in as little time, and for as little effort, as possible, no matter who or what they disrupt or hurt or ruin in the process.\n\nIt's up to us decent folk to be the opposite and try always to deal with people fairly. \n\nI would have no hesitation in 'grassing-up' someone who I knew to be operating some kind of deception. (Benefit cheats and drug dealers beware!!)

i believe that if a felon has kept a clean and regular life than they should be given back their rights back. i only beleive this because people do make mistakes and i believe that everyone deserves that 2nd chance.

I know for a fact that they should be treated like just like everyone else in this world. Just like you and me. They're people. They eat, they breath, they have dreams. At one point in your life, you've done some illegal as well. Whether it was some petty crime, or something worth being incarcerated for. Should they be punished for doing something illegal? Yes. But that doesn't mean that they should be treated like animals.

it is not as easy to cheat, in fact with all the new standards i would say that it is harder. Plus the consequences are worse, (expulsion) \n\nBTW: I think you meant are not is

Yes, being from the South I get that a lot.\nBut people who think that way are only cheating themselves.

I don't know what your original question was, but the pain I went through when my ex-wife cheated has earned me the right to hate cheating.\n\nI don't hate those who cheat, but I am not afraid to tell them publically, face to face, or here on the web that I think cheating is one of the most selfish and hurtful things that a person can do, and that I believe it to be wrong.\n\nNot unforgiveable, but still wrong.
