I just think they are nuts. There is another mommy trick you may not have thought of - writing checks for cash at the local grocery store and charging the full amount of the checks on Support Affidavits as money spent for groceries. If a mother is so inclined she can get the cash back to buy drugs using this method and make it look in her checkbook records as if she bought groceries instead of drugs. |

Yea, I see grocery carts filled to the brim with chips, Twinkies, bags of cookies, case of Soda Pop, bottled water, Juices, boxes of cereal, frozen pizzas, frozen pies, Pop tarts, and host of other processed junk food. Is it any wonder their food bill is well over $100 per week? I eat real food like eggs, steak, chicken, Tuna, real fish, cheese, and an assortment of fresh Veggies. I'm lucky if I spend $50. |

"Sarah Gray" wrote in If such a system were in place, the cashed check would still read "cash" on it, no? There are ways of working around *any* system, but nearly anything woudl be better than how it works now. People are so focused on the welfare system which is chump change, that they miss the big picture of what the government is dong with their money! $500 million given to Mexico Mexico aid package details revealed MANUEL ROIG-FRANZIA; The Washington Post October 27th, 2007 TIJUANA, Mexico - More than a third of the Bush administration's proposed counternarcotics aid package for Mexico would be spent on aerial surveillance and the rapid deployment of troops, according to a breakdown of the plan. President Bush is proposing the purchase of eight transport helicopters and two surveillance planes. The $500 million aid package also would include $60 million to revamp the information management and forensics systems of the Mexican attorney general's office and to train police, court personnel and prison managers. The breakdown of the plan, titled "Overall Justification Document" and obtained by The Washington Post, is the most detailed glimpse yet of a secretly negotiated aid package that some members of Congress say should have been shared with them long ago. The aid plan, which Bush announced Monday, is part of a $46 billion war funding bill that the White House is pressing Congress to approve before its holiday break. While the breakdown provides a list of spending items, it has rankled some congressional aides because it lacks crucial details about how the aid would be managed and how information would be shared between Mexican and U.S. law enforcement agencies. The White House breakdown lists "counternarcotics, counterterrorism and border security" as the largest segment of the aid deal, accounting for $306.3 million. It doesn't say how the money will be used to combat terrorism. Bush administration counterterrorism officials have long feared that terrorists could slip into the United States from Mexico. Beefing up border security could be interpreted as a counterterrorism effort. The breakdown does not specify which agencies would be given aircraft, which have long been among the most coveted items on Mexico's wish list. The helicopters are Bell 412 models, a workhorse aircraft that would be used to deploy rapid-response forces. The surveillance craft are CASA CN-235-300 models that would be equipped in the same fashion as U.S. Coast Guard planes. The Mexican attorney general's office appears to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the deal. Besides getting millions to revamp its information management and forensics systems, it's also slated to receive $19.9 million to "digitalize all aspects of prosecutors' functions, provide a case-management system and rebuild its database structure," plus $5 million in unspecified "support" for its forensics unit and $2 million to expand its efforts to prosecute human smugglers. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ |
