Fraud: Is it Hurting the Innocent?” WPXI.com, Pittsburg local news, Tuesday 7
Feb. 2012.
This article talks about how some of
the new laws in Pittsburg that are being put into effect to prevent welfare
fraud are taking away and hurting those who actually need the help. One example that they use is that when the
asset test was first announced. This
prevents people that have a certain amount of money in their savings account
from collecting welfare. A retiree
testified in the article, though, that it was punishing them for being responsible
and saving money. They then changed the
law by increasing the cap for anyone above 65 to 9,000 and 5,500 for everyone
else. This article will help provide
evidence on the effectiveness on certain ideas to help prevent welfare
fraud. This will definitely add to the overall
effectiveness of my proposal for a solution.

This
article talks about another perspective on welfare fraud. It talks about how prosecuting welfare fraud
is leading to the link between government help and crime. Many people now, when they hear the word
welfare, they automatically think of someone using the government money to
their advantage when they do not really need the help. They see someone sitting at home doing
nothing enjoying the free money. This
gives a more negative/ opposing opinion to my argument which gives me a
different perspective to work with.
Your annotations I feel are what she is looking for exactly. You got one source that supports your view and will help your argument to crack down on welfare fraud and how it can be implemented. You also went out and got one source which gives you another view to see from, where if you are trying to convince someone of something it is always easier if you come from their perspective and convince them that way. Instead of course coming from your view and saying they're wrong and you are right. I hope that you will be able to continue to find sources that will be able to help you.
