After her lottery win Clayton continued to claim $200 a month in food stamps despite paying cash for a new home and car and said, 'I'm still struggling.'

The 24-year-old argued that she was entitled to the welfare handout as she has two homes to run.

'I feel that it's okay because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay,' she said. 'I have two houses.' (Amanda Clayton)

State Auditor Suzanne Bump says both men face larceny charges. (Boston Globe)

Our government now provides many opportunities for citizens to debase and besot themselves and then cry that it’s not their fault. We provide incentives for it. How many government incentives are there to get off your ass and become self-sufficient?
