My mother and I have been LIVING off of an approximate 6000 income and youre telling me that, becuase Im poor and because I'm "lazy" that I have to be at fault?? Is it truely my fault that I want to get somewhere in life but dont have the funding to make it? I am a Filipino/White, am in band (who just so happened to be invited to the 2009 Rose Parade along w/ the rest of my band mates) take AP classes, and am in 2 clubs as President. If I were to follow your logic, I am just some money sucking poor little pinoy trying to abuse the tax base and "the money everyone else worked so hard to earn". How do you think that makes me feel? Highly insulted. I am TRYING to get my foot into the door of the working world with an EDUCATION, not as some labor worker who doesn't know anything beyond stacking shelves, working in the fields, or operating machinery. So before you start prattling about people who try and suck on handouts why don't you take a look at the people who have struggled and been struggling just to survive, trying to find jobs, trying to live paycheck by paycheck (WITHOUT welfare mind you) and trying to pursue a better education. Stop the fallacies and ask around-not everyone who uses food stamps is the bad guy... ((BTW my mom didn't even use contraception as I was the only child that she ever wanted and I STILL have to live off of rice and soup)) Okay but what about the people who are NOT white, not Mexican and are an only child who is aspiring to better their condition?

Its not only LATINOS that are Effectted by this. I paid taxes for 20 years and now have nothing and am full time in school at 38 years old. Guess what, i lost my cal grant too and i'm WHITE! Figure something else out, stop looking for handouts and quit living on the success of everyone else and the tax base. Read the above articles and it should make anyone sick.. 7 kids and they eat rice and pot pies.. Use contraception, Get sterilized or stop having sex if you cant handle paying for your own kids! Its that simple, it has nothing to do with what color or race you are. I still buy all my own food yet i stand in line every day at the store while 60% or so of the population holds up the line with food stamps and WIC.. What else do you want ? Blood? Get a real argument. Its time someone moves into office that isnt so politically correct and fixes all this free-bee bull.. Quit whining.. Its not only LATINOS that are Effectted by this.

Cutting off or diminishing these grants is the state solution to guaranteeing a viable underclass. Why do I think that some California business and home owners are thrilled with this unethical budget.

You’d think that Gil Cedillo would want to term out of office with a fight. I guess not.

This reflects how concerned those politicians are about their constituents.

They want them mowing lawns, filling up the prisons and fighting the wars. Why did they ever let this guy immigrate here? He made his fortune in this state and look how he shows his gratitude.
