Hunger is the most powerful motivator. End the welfare state...now! It hasnt worked....time to pull the plug.

Some people don't try, and complain when they accomplish nothing. Not much you can do to help those types. But laughing at the plight of people who work their tail off, and still fall behind... That's as low as it gets.


Keep falling for the divide and conquer play America. I'm sure you'll get a prize eventually for all your effort... Just not a prize you're going to like or want.

But it was ok when the cons did it with ACA- it's ok that many suffer without access to health care- as long as it makes Obama look bad, the ends justified the means, right?
Repugs are NO better

It's everywhere including selling them on FB, IG etc. Everywhere. And no... it's not just one poor, defeated, starving person.

Yet people refuse to believe it. I was just asked yesterday at the grocery store (again) if they could go w me in line & use their card and I'm supposed to give them cash.

Most food stamp recipients do work. If jobs paid living wages most of the recipients would not qualify. https://www.cbpp.org/research/policy...e-program-snap

"Servants, labourers and workmen of different kinds, make up the far greater part of every great political society. But what improves the circumstances of the greater part can never be regarded as an inconvenience to the whole. No society can surely be flourishing and happy, of which the far greater part of the members are poor and miserable. It is but equity, besides, that they who feed, clothe, and lodge the whole body of the people, should have such a share of the produce of their own labour as to be themselves tolerably well fed, clothed and lodged."

Low income tenants will also be affected
Quote:
(CNN)The ongoing shutdown is creating uncertainty for tens of thousands of low-income tenants who rely on the federal government to help pay their rent.

The Department of Housing & Urban Development hasn't been able to renew roughly 1,650 contracts with private building owners who rent to poor Americans. These contracts either ran out in December or are expiring this month. Another 550 contracts are set to lapse in February.
Those contracts cover around 130,000 households, who have an average income of $12,000 a year. Many tenants are elderly or disabled.
With no sign of the shutdown ending soon,HUD has asked landlords to draw on their reserves to cover any shortfalls. The Washington Post first reported the development earlier this week.

Lesson learned, when the crap hits the fan, the government can't and won't save you. In the words of Warren Buffet, "It's only when the tide goes out, do you see who's been swimming naked."
