Similar to direct marketing and its structure mailing schedule to repeated recipients.

The other person probably makes to much money for the Sec 8 recipient to continue to get assistance, but they want that free money (which is the hard earned dollars you earned being taxes so they can LIE about their living conditions).

Lucky them.Oh-average freebie recipient now gets 9K per year and oh boy, another 1/2 trillion approved today as QE3.The first 2 worked so well.
