Time to kill welfare from SSI to Medicare!!! I'm really hoping Mitt Romney follows through with his 47% thinking!
As long as there is a real safety net for those truly in need. Today what passes for a safety net is pathetic.
I look at my own mother. My father is deceased. Without her SS check she would have zero income per month. She lives month to month. He was a factory worker his whole life. Never was able to save a cent.
There are some truly in need. Fortunately I have done very well (I built it!) and am able to help her when needed.
BTW.....your mother paid into SS her whole life....she's not a welfare recipient...
