seriously, you still don't get it?
Its like if I decided to buy a car and I put down 1000 dollars on a 10,000 dollar car. Then i drove off and left the state, effectively screwing the seller out of 9000 dollars. The seller can report my deed to the banks, and the banks will make sure that I will never be able to buy a car, get a checking account, get a credit card, etc. etc. ever again.
So that's why its necessary to check credit ratings. Its for big ticket items that the customer agrees to pay monthy over X months. The seller simply doesn't want to get screwed over and be down 9,000 dollars.
Anyways, when I was in school, I always thought it was a good idea for the government to help out the poor via welfare and whatnot.
Now, living out in the "real world" as it were, and seeing how some people live, seeing the choices they make, and seeing how they make incredibly stupid decisions with government subsidized money, it changes my perspective a little. Like I mentioned in the OP, I see people everyday make stupid decisions at my work, and like I mentioned in the OP, I really have no say in how they spend their money.
However, I can now see first hand how a lot of poor people are victims of their own stupid decisions and are dragging us down by finding loophopes and snaking our tax dollars.
