What's the message here?

News story 1[^] News story 2[^] I am so angry right now. I can't think of the big picture message message to describe it. It can't be just "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer."

No, unless you have evidence that welfare is paid to only to the rich and never to the poor, it certainly is not the message. Try: "Some public servants do not do their job properly." And: "Legislators do not foresee every loop-hole."
If people made the effort to read something three times before commenting, blogs would be much more useful places. - Anon.

I think there are two separate messages here. 1) The couple in Seattle are simply a case that there will always be some greedy fraudster out to screw systems set up to help those who are not as fortunate. 2) The second is that there are mentally unstable individuals out there with conditions that are truly unfortunate. Neither of these has to do with the gap between rich and poor, but it is troubling if the reports are accurate that the gap is widening.
I wasn't, now I am, then I won't be anymore.
