Publisher's Synopsis
Exposing the dark secrets of welfare abuse ... or a handbook for living on the dole?An insider's look at the inherent flaws of the American welfare system. Written as an irreverent critique in the form of a "how-to" or "self-help" guide, it lays bare the techniques and motivations of the entitlement subculture, and it skewers all the sacred welfare cows ... and elephants. No preaching, just some disturbing truths sandwiched in among the humorous stories and unique characters written by someone with thirty-two years of experience in the field of public welfare. "The Department of Public Welfare is like an enormous elephant lumbering along step by step. It moves at its own pace and goes where it wants to go, slowing plodding straight ahead or veering left or right on a whim. It is ugly and grotesque, and no one likes it. Everyone wants something done about it, but no one can slow it down; it is simply too big. No one can change its course or make it go where it doesn't want it to go. And, most assuredly, no one can stop it."
