New Horizon College English Volume 4 Unit 3 Lesson 1 Longing for a New Welfare System
Welfare recipients should cheat. Everyone is looking forward to it. Faced with sharing raw pet food with cats, many people I know in wheelchairs squeeze out the system for a few extra dollars. They told the government that they got $200 less than the actual pension, so they could get a little extra welfare. Or, they told social workers that the landlord had raised the rent by 100 dollars.
Welfare beneficiaries are considered liars. Everyone thinks so. Many people in wheelchairs I know are faced with sharing rough pet food with cats and want to make more money from the welfare system. They told the government that if they took $200 less from their pension, they would get a little extra relief. Or, they tell social workers that the landlord has raised the rent by one hundred dollars.
I choose to live a completely honest life. So, I went out to drum up business and draw cartoons. I even told Foley how much I earned! Oh, I really want to get paid secretly. But even if I give in to this temptation, big magazines will not get involved in some difficult situation. They kept my records, and this information will go directly to the government computer. Very high-profile.
I'd rather live an honest life. So, I went out to recruit jobs and drew some cartoons. I even told the welfare agency how much money I earned! Oh, I want to make money secretly. However, even if I can't resist the temptation, big magazines won't get me into trouble. They will keep my records, which will be directly input into the government computer. This attitude is clear.
As a welfare recipient, I should bow to social workers. Deep down, social workers know that they have been fooled by many clients, and they feel that they have the right to make clients bow to them as compensation. I have no resentment. Most caseworkers were originally liberals with high ideals and college education. But after a few years in a system that actually requires people to lie, they become what I call "Susanna", a detective in shorts.
As a welfare worker, I have to grovel in front of social workers. Social workers know that they have been fooled by many relief workers, and as compensation, they have the right to make these relief workers grovel. I don't hold a grudge. Many social workers have received college education at the beginning, full of idealism and open mind. But under this welfare system, which requires people to lie, a few years later, they became a person like me, Susanna, a detective in shorts.
Shortly after Christmas last year, Susanna came to check my apartment and saw some new posters on the wall. "Where did you get the money to buy these?" She wants to know.
Shortly after Christmas last year, Susanna visited my apartment and saw some new posters posted on the wall. "Where did you get the money to do this?" She wants to know.
"Friends and family."
"Friends and family."
"Well, you'd better have a receipt, as God is my witness. You must report any donations or gifts. "
"Well, you'd better have a receipt. Really, all gifts and giveaways should be reported.
This is a hint I beg for. Instead, I talked back. "A few days ago, I got a cigarette from a man in the street. Do I have to report? "
It's a hint that I'm going to beg her. I pushed it back. "One day, I bought a cigarette from the street. Do I need to report it? "
"Well, I'm sorry, but I don't make rules, Mr. Callahan."
"I'm sorry, but I didn't make the rules, Mr. Callahan."
Susanna tried to lecture me on the maintenance of my wheelchair, because the welfare organization was unwilling to spend money to properly maintain it, so my wheelchair always broke down. "You know, Mr. Callahan, I heard that your mileage in a wheelchair is much more than the average person."
Susanna tried to teach me to repair my wheelchair because the welfare agency refused to pay the fee and it kept breaking down. "You know, Mr. Callahan, I heard that your wheelchair goes further than the average person."
Of course I know. I am an active worker, not a vegetable. I live near the city center, so I can get around in a wheelchair. I wonder what she would think if she suddenly broke her hip and had to crawl to work.
That's true. I am an active person, not a nerd. I live in the city center, so I can drive around in a wheelchair. I wonder what she would think if one day she suddenly broke her hip and had to crawl to work.
The government's cuts in welfare have caused hunger and suffering for many people, not just me. But people with spinal cord injuries feel the cuts in a unique way: the government no longer takes care of our chairs. Every time my brake breaks down, I lose a screw, I need a new roller bearing, the brake fails, and so on. I called Susanna and I had to put up with a little lecture. Finally, she will say, "well, if I have time today, I will call the medical staff."
The government's cuts in welfare spending led to hunger, which affected many people, not just me. People with spinal cord injury have a unique experience of this reduction. The government no longer cares about our wheelchairs. Every time my wheelchair breaks down, I lose a screw, I need a new bearing, the brakes don't work, and so on. I called Susanna and had to learn a lesson. Finally, she will say, "well, if I have time today, I will call the medical staff."
She should inform the medical staff, and they will prove that there is a problem. Then, the medical staff called the wheelchair maintenance company to get the cheapest quotation. Then, the medical worker informed the main welfare office of the state capital. When I was lying in bed and couldn't move, they thought about it for several days. Finally, if I was lucky, they called back and approved the maintenance.
She should notify the medical staff first to make sure there is something wrong. Then, the medical staff called the wheelchair maintenance company, got the lowest quotation, and then informed the state welfare office. They have to think about it for a few days, and then I can't move in bed. Finally, if they are lucky, they will call to approve the maintenance.
When the welfare agency learned that I made money from my cartoons, Susanna began to "visit" every two weeks instead of every two months. She searched every corner, looking for unreported appliances, or maids, or roast pigs in the oven, or new helicopters parked in the back. She never found anything, but at the end of each visit, there is always a thick stack of forms to fill out, indicating every penny.
When the welfare agency learned that I made money from comics, Susanna began to "visit" every two weeks instead of two months. She searched every corner, looking for unreported appliances, or maids, or roast pigs in the oven, or newly bought helicopters parked behind the house. She won't get anything. But there are a lot of forms to fill out at the end of each time, and every penny should be written clearly.
There is no provision in the law to gradually break away from welfare. I am an independent businessman, building my market slowly. It is impossible to earn $2,000 a month suddenly without welfare. But I hope I can pay part of my living expenses instead of having to go through an embarrassing situation every time I need spare parts for my wheelchair.
There is no relevant provision in the law on how to get rid of welfare relief. I am an independent businessman, and I am slowly establishing my own market. It is impossible to jump out of welfare suddenly, with a monthly salary of $2,000. But I am willing to pay part of my living expenses, so when I need to buy some accessories for the wheelchair, I won't be in such an embarrassing position.
It is necessary to have a lawyer who can defend the rights of welfare objects, because this system is easily abused by welfare providers and welfare objects. A few days ago, the welfare organization sent Susanna to look around my apartment because the pharmacist said I used more medical supplies than usual. As a matter of fact, I am like this: the hole for excreting urine cut by surgery has changed in size, and the joint connecting my urine bag is leaking.
There should be lawyers to protect the rights of welfare recipients, because the current welfare system not only allows welfare providers to abuse their rights, but also allows welfare recipients to abuse their rights. One day, the welfare organization sent Susanna to visit my apartment because the pharmacist said that I had taken more drugs than usual recently. Indeed, the size of the artificial urination hole has changed, and the joint with the urine bag has leaked.
While she was taking notes, my phone rang and Susanna answered it. The caller is a state senator, which makes Susanna a little scared. Will I become a member of the governor's Committee and try to do something for thousands of welfare recipients? These people are like me. If they are allowed to stand on their own feet step by step, they can stand on their own feet in part or in whole.
While she was taking notes, my phone rang and Susanna answered it. The caller was a state senator, which surprised Susanna. For thousands of welfare recipients like me, if allowed, they can support themselves partially or completely. What should I do on the state committee?
Of course, I will! One day, people like me will thrive under a new system that encourages them instead of trying to convict them of cheating. They will be free to develop their talents without guilt or fear-or just have a stable and good job.
Of course, of course! One day, people like me will live a good life and be encouraged under the new welfare system, instead of declaring themselves fraudulent. They can freely develop their talents without guilt or fear, or they have a stable and good job.
