@americafirst7338 Sorry my friend but sounds like a bit of overkill on your wife's part. I do agree the programs get abused. When I got outta the service in '74, there was a kinda job sbortage and for about 8 months i was on unemployment. I have a wife and two kids at that time and we scrounged to make ends meet. Finally i appied for food stamps, in hopes of getting some help with food at least. My unemployment check was too high to get totally free. So i gave a hundred a month for 200 in stamps. During that time, i did see people driving newer cars than me,,with gold jewelery and pretty well dressed and getting more allotment than me. And they probably lived in section 8 housing and whatever else they could get. So u can see the irony of that scenario. Also my point that,there are regulations that are supposed to control abuse. It's not just throwing out tax dollars to lazy jerks that don't wanna work and sponge off tax payers. But u know,,when i see what just happened with tax breaks and in a sense,,hand outs to millionaires,,,id rather see some poor family get a help, than some rich asshole that doesn't want to pay his share of taxes. And sits on his off shore bank accounts and lives in his million dollar house,, waiting to board his private jet to head for the golf course in Florida, or his golf course in Louisiana etc. Boasting that his not paying taxes is being a smart businessman. Id say that's costing us millions too. When u consider he's only one of hundreds of rich fucks that do the same damn thing. Sorry bout my language, but it's a dang aggravating subject.

@americafirst7338 Hey,, I'm 66, and work too. You aren't telling me anything. And obviously im not talking about people abusing the system and sitting on their butts watching TV while collecting a gov check. I'm talking about people that for some reason don't make enough at a job to make the bills. I'm talking about people with a physical issue that keeps them from earning enough to make it. You ask what the Dems have done to help. That's the answer,,or just some of it. Now,,why don't you give us some things the righteous Republicans have done for us. I'll give u a month or so to try and find out.

@americafirst7338 If it weren't for Democrats, there would no aid programs, welfare programs. All of which give poor and low income folks some kind of hope for having a future. As u hear now,,,the wonderful ice hearted Republicans want to cut those programs to pay back the money they voted to give the rich, in the tax bill they forced through. Maybe you're wealthy and so can ask what the Dems have done for us. At least in trying to help the more needy Americans, the Dems have done more to give,, while the Republicans just want those people to vanish.
