Enabling

Were I to have given the Tsarnaev family over $100k to subsidize their living costs over the decade which led up to their bombing of the Boston Marathon, there’s no question that I would be arrested for aiding terrorism. So why isn’t the state of Massachusetts? The Boston Herald:

The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned.

“The breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning,” said a person with knowledge of documents handed over to a legislative committee today.

The state has handed over more than 500 documents to the 11-member House Post Audit and Oversight Committee, which today met for the first time and plans to call in officials from the Department of Transitional Assistance to testify.

I though the idea of “transitional assistance” was to provide help over a limited support of time. So what’s up with this 10 year bullshit?
