Don't assume that because someone is on welfare, that's the reason they can pay for the stuff they have.
I was unaware that people would extend lines of credit to people with no job to repay it other than a monthly welfare check. Sorry Mike but I find it difficult to believe companies would readily extend lines of credit to someone without a job or means of collateral like a house.
