Shannon Sharpe re: Brett Favre "You have to be a sorry **** to steal from the underserved"

Whether you want to put it on Farve or the state, it's wrong. TANF is a state block grant(states can determine how to use the funds) unlike the previous structure (AFDC I think) that dictated the funds go to poor people. In theory, the money should be allocated to go to needy people but because of the political leanings of the governors and by extension Farve, they had no problem using the money for personal interest (as in more athletic facilities for the poorest state in the union). No matter how you paint it's wrong and I'm sure Farve is not the first athlete to get caught up in a misappropriation of funds scandal. These same people attack individual welfare for the poor but have no problem with corporate welfare and subsidies.
