Is anyone arguing poor people should be prevented from buying lottery tickets?
I just see this as ineffective state government rather than her being evil or something, that's my point. Though I'm not quite sure if she's technically eligible for welfare under Michigan law because of how they determine eligibility (I figured they based it on last year's income or something), or if they just dropped the ball on enforcing their law. But it seems like they cut her off now so I guess it's the latter.
I wonder if it would be cheaper and more fair just to give welfare to everyone.
