I’m not trying to bait you. I am trying to understand just how far you are willing to go.
You took the statement of chazal that one is permitted to “lie” (i dont believe chazal said that, they did not say sheker is permitted, they said one may be mishane) for the sake of shalom and extended it to, one may lie for the sake of parnassah. Then, you stated that dina dimalchusa does not apply to the US government in general and benefits programs in particular, and that one may lie to gain access to programs one would otherwise not qualify for. Somehow you equate tzedaka and government programs with parnassah. Since you have no issues making these leaps, I just wanted to see how far you are willing to leap.
I’m not your Rav and will not tell you what to do. All I can say is Shomer Pisayim Hashem, be careful and dont get caught. I’m not coming to visit you.
