Report: ACORN Asking Laid Off Workers to Defraud Government

By on 10.22.09 @ 11:12AM

ACORN is like that guy at the racetrack who bums cigarettes off other people because he wants to spend what's left of his welfare check on the sure thing in the 7th race.

More proof of ACORN's degeneracy comes today from Michael McCray who reports at BigGovernment.com that ACORN is asking workers it is laying off to continue working at ACORN as "volunteers" but to apply to the government for unemployment benefits. McCray is a member of the reform group 'ACORN 8.'

It's just another day at ACORN, the left's favorite crime syndicate.
