Funny, I have personally never seen that sort of thing happening, though I suppose it’s just a matter of odds that somebody out there is happy to just take their single mom government checks and then sit on the beach in Cancun sipping Margaritas all day, saving up to buy a big yacht without lifting a finger to improve their lot in life. The last person I saw paying for food with food stamps at Safeway certainly didn’t look like they were doing anything along those lines. So, are there any hard figures out there that demonstrate how many bona fide ‘leeches’ are among the U.S. government assistance recipients-- well-off, fat and sassy-- actively finagling the system so can *<b>avoid</b>* ever having to have a real job? Loaded question, I know. But hey, Mitt, there might be a couple of people out there like that, ok…. that’s maybe just the cost of doing business.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><div><div><p
