Gosh, I thought this was a conservative forum?

Got it.



Always something w/these people,always something. Sit behind their desk or their phone (probably getting free wifi) and causing trouble. So big and tough in their bubble.

Just a observation while the subject is ebt cards and government handouts. I have been doing 99% of my shopping at Aldi for the past four years and I have never seen EBT or WIC used in the store. When I used to shop at Publix and Kroger EBT and WIC were the norm.

Aldi is cash only I think ; i dont know if they participate in ebt

There's been no other time or place in all of human history that food was so cheap and easily obtained and some people still can't feed themselves just let natural selection run its course.

This is the boat I’m in. Do I like it? No. Do I understand it? Yes. We’ve all been in tough spots, and drug addiction is severely misunderstood. I doubt baby daddy wants to live that life. It’s a completely miserable existence. At the end of the day, I wish I didn’t have to pay taxes, but I’d rather them go to feeding kids of degenerate parents than I to the summer house fund of the politicians trying to ruin our past time. Part of being American is contributing to help those that don’t live the quality of life we do. I’m sure something went wrong to lead them where they are, and instead of griping about that they’re living on our dime, be glad that we’re not in their position.

Okay I've got something to say and because of my situation I have the right to say it. You people have a right to judge me because I can't change what's in your mind, so, sit down Shut Up and Hold on it's going to be a bumpy ride. I'm currently in the process of applying for disability, those of you who don't know about this it's a long process takes approximately a year-and-a-half. That's a year-and-a-half of no paycheck zero. I'm where I'm at because of 47 years I'm driving heavy equipment my knees back hips shoulders and elbows all have extreme arthritis. Most of the things that you take for granted to me are painful. I still work at home I'm basically a house husband and I do the best I can to do something for my family. I'm not lazy and it bugs the heck out of me that I can't get out and do that I had to give up my job 3 years from retirement. I did have the sense to put into a long term disability insurance which will kick in in 6 months. So now my wife is the breadwinner until that time. The things I found out when I started to apply for disability insurance were that any money that I receive from Social Security I have to give to the insurance company my total income can't go over a certain amount and because I was responsible adult and saved money and invested in the stock market and if paid for my house that I can't get as much money as people who spend all their money on Escalades and all the other trappings of life that are frivolous. It just irritates me that because I was Thrifty because I was responsible that I can receive $2,400 less per month than people who spend everything they had as soon as I touched it. We are in eligible for food stamps and I'm not on Medicaid so I'll have to pay 3 to $400 a month for insurance for myself and my wife and pay for all our prescriptions out of pocket. We're going to make it just because that's what we do but I've got an extended family relative who has four children and none of them have the same last name and they get $900 a month in EBT free medical and everything else that's free on the board. I've seen these people you talk about they have a grocery cart full of meat and then end up paying for their beer with cash and it usually comes from a great big wad. sadly it's the America we built I guess it's that thing about a puppy and a dog. You know what I mean don't get a puppy because eventually it will turn into a dog. just wanted to let you know that some people abused them. Just saying

it would be interesting to observe a group of humans with 300 million individuals make the transition from civilization to anarchy. then wait 2 generations and reestablish civilization. how many ya think would make it? probably a lot less sorry mofos layin around.

Obviously it is where are your tax dollars going?
