You use entitlement programs like a dirty word. Since I (and most workers in America) have paid into SS and Medicare all our working lives, we are entitled to the benefits we've been promised. Entitlement programs are not Welfare hand outs.like most of the entitlement programs you support
Well it is from Breitphart so only the brainwashed scum in the Neo-GOP believe it.dimocrap scum voters, for the most part, don't really care about this.
So you against welfare now? I know your party is losing the minority vote. Is that why?What is with these Snowflake Conservatives wanting a Nanny State to take care of them?
Get a freaking job you freeloaders
Get a JOB you loserSo you against welfare now? I know your party is losing the minority vote. Is that why?
Simple .. government subsidies to individuals, provide ZERO incentive to succeed. Any individual relying on government subsidies isn't encouraged to succeed ... and to survive is implied.
If so, why not show the list of his clients? You would have him then, even I would support jail.Logs introduced in the Ghislaine Maxwell trial show Donald Trump flew on Jeffrey Epstein's jet more than was previously reported.

I can only speak for my state. In Michigan, welfare is meant to help you when you are at your lowest. What people do after their time is up is on them.Red, Blue, Purple [insert color here] .. how does that change the success motivations that government funded programs provide?
Translated .. government programs for a majority of recipients, make the recipients more dependent on government. When you get handouts over a long period of time .. you become dependent on them .. pretty basic stuff.I can only speak for my state. In Michigan, welfare is meant to help you when you are at your lowest. What people do after their time is up is on them.
TANF has a 60 month lifetime limit. This means you cannot get more than 60 months of TANF in your lifetime. Michigan has a 48 month lifetime limit for FIP. This means you cannot get more than 48 months of FIP in your lifetime from a case in Michigan.
I will give you this. When I got unemployment and no one questioned what I was doing for 6 months, I sort of took 5 months off. When Republican Gov Rick Snyder cut unemployment down from 6 months to 5 months during the Bush Great Recession, when it was really hard to find a job, that one less month really lit a fire under my ass. I realized how quickly 5 months goes by. And during a recession like that, it was taking people 12 months to find a job. So I better not take a couple months off. I better start looking for a job right away.
And when they insisted I show where I applied for jobs, that forced me to get on the internet and apply for jobs.
In other words when they micro managed me, I didn't sit back and enjoy the time off.
I think it was mean for him to lower the time down to 5 months during a great recession, and I ended up taking a job I shouldn't have taken but whatever. It got me off unemployment right?
