I hear that.
My husband was recovering from cancer surgery when our car quit.
He was out there banging on it in nearly sub zero temps because the cancer nearly wiped out our bank account, and there was no other choice.
It broke my hart that he had to do that!
Really tore me up..he never complained, God love him!
Nobody gave us anything!
Common sense solution is to have those who go on Welfare/Food Stamps/Sect.8 Housing/Medicaid/B.S. SSI Disability voluntarily relinquish their Voting Franchise in exchange....
(& the other 100 anti-poverty programs I can't think of!)
“#23 isn’t it ironic these same helpless
Gibmedats have 4-800 dollar cell phones,
Manicured and painted nails and the latest hairdos that I assure you they didn’t do themselves?”
I made the mistake early on in this thread of suggesting that some people are in genuine need of assistance when it comes to food. I’ve been flamed the rest of the thread. Yes, there’s lots of fraud, and I despise it. I’d go so far as to say that the government prolly shouldn’t have ANY sort of welfare programs and it should go back to people relying on churches and family for help. I’m a far cry from wealthy and work hard for what I have, so it absolutely drives me nuts to see so many people taking advantage of these programs that are ever expanding that producers such as myself have to pay for. My f**king neighbors all take advantage of various welfare sort of programs and all have better homes, cars, etc than I. I despise it. I’m prolly even eligible for some of these programs myself but am too principled or something to join into it. I spent most of today weeding my garden which is where I get a large portion of my food from. I sell at a farmers market and people pay me with WIC checks that my taxes supply them with. Sometimes I think it would be much simpler if I just gave them the food from my garden for free and avoid the paperwork to pay taxes so they can get their WIC checks to get the food from me. I regret posting that some people really need help with food. I wonder if Jesus regretted it after he said “the poor you will always have with you”.
Yep.
Glad to hear he recovered.
