Check a “minority” box and see how fast you go to the front of the line.

Just for a laugh, one of the Local Sponsors for the Rush Limbaugh Show in Los Angeles is the State of California.

What do you think they are advertising? Public Safety, no.
Water Conservation, no. Jobs Programs, no.

They are advertising “Cal Fresh”. What is Cal Fresh you ask?
Why, it's the brand new made up feel good name for The Food Stamp Program.

The commercials have a little kid helping Daddy cook up a nutritious meal. The kid is so excited when she goes to tell Mommy that dinner is ready, while the announcer goes on and on about the wonderful fruits and vegetables that this poor Family was able to get through Cal Fresh.

You can own a home, own a car and have a savings account, no problem. It isn't even being touted as a temporary hand up. They make it sound like a wonderful lifestyle.

I wonder how many Rush listeners partake in it?

Tell me about it....

The person I spoke last with at the office shocked the hell out of me. She said, out loud if you can believe it, that they were swamped with ‘minorities’ applying and “guess who gets preference”?

It’s bad enough that I and other actual citizens worked like dogs for years to support them. Now, when the conditions warrant, those in my situation are given the shaft.

Having been through this in the 90s, I fully expected the run around. But this current insanity is beyond belief. It took them over a year to get me the first denial letter (EVERYONE gets denied the first time supposedly to ‘weed out’ the fakers.

Still waiting.....and BTW, this is WITH a disability lawyer.

[MrB]

It’s reparations.

It’s slavery, and “this time, we’re in charge, whitey”.

[Norm Lenhart]

Yup. Right up until the rest of Whitey stops working. Then the minority mob will turn on their own educated/motivated/capable people for ‘acting white’ more than they do now.

I never thought I’d live in the movie “Idiocracy” but here I am. I just wish I could come back in 200 or so years to see just how close to extinction the human race is. If there are enough people left and a history of the early 21st century written, I’ll bet it get’s filled with words like ‘insanity’.

Maranatha...

While many here, including myself, would tend to agree with your feelings on the matter, I think you'll have a very hard sell with the majority who have been indoctrinated as to what is right and wrong in current society. When cheating on workman's comp, insurance claims, taxes and many other things are winked at, a government program that was clearly set-up from the get-go to be abused is widely considered Uncle Sugar's way of letting you slide into retirement years before you're eligible for it. It sounds like you were raised in a “pick yourself up by the bootstraps” family and culture and you might as well be speaking Martian as far as most Baby Boomers, Gen Xers and Millenials are concerned. You're in Iowa circa 1925 and they're in modern day France.

...Elderly Immigrants using SS-Disability as a retirement system. They can begin collecting after only 3 years in the country and can collect even when living with their sons/daughters.

"For Elderly Immigrants, a Retirement Plan in U.S." - NYTimes(4/16/1995)

Once upon a time when Immigration laws and their enforcement were taken seriously, even legal immigrants were deported for accepting Public Assistance. (But that was the law when white Europeans were the majority of Immigrants and it would be racist to... )

Interesting...
