Trump Cuts Disability & Social Security Benefits

[SobieskiSavedEurope]

The South sucks, lets just be frank.

Disability benefits are higher South of the Mason Dixon line, as is Welfare, Food stamps etc.

Yet, there they go complaining about benefits. LMFAO,

They also have more Government stimulus in the USA South, more military bases, more military personell as in people who work for the military,
far more NASA facilities, and the Tennessee Valley Authority giving them electricity.

Yet, Government is the problem. LMFAO.

They pay less in taxes, the average person in the South probably pays half the income tax, and about 1/4th of the property tax as ones in the North.

Yet, complain about taxes, LMFAO.

You can't make this cr@p up.

Cutting waste and fraud is not the same as cutting benefits you stupid sack of shit.

Also, cutting the rate of growth is not actually cutting, you imbecile.

You are the perfect, ignorant DUPE who propagandists count on.

******* moron

Someone had to dig real deep into the hamper to find that crusty old sock.

Okay, but who is doing better today, our capitalist society or Communism and Socialism?

The fastest economic growth has never come from extreme Communism, nor extreme Capitalism, but rather the hybrid system, or mixed system.

The fastest economic growth in recent years have come largely from Socialist countries, China, Poland, and Russia (Prior to the sanctions)

Nothing new there, Franco's Authoritarian / Fascistic Socialist Spain, National Socialist (Nazi Germany, experienced far greater economic growth than had the USA in the 20th century.

And yet through capitalism, nobody has the economy we have today. In fact most are suffering some sort of slowdown.

Remember that we are a country only a few hundred years old. In that short time, we became a world power and economic leader, and we didn't do it by any other means than capitalism. It's also the reason we have the most wealthy in this country, and the best opportunity for the average person to accumulate wealth.

There is no better economic system around, because capitalism allows people to be rewarded for their work. It encourages investment and innovation. It doesn't discriminate, and anybody can play the game, not just the rich.

The USA has been a hybrid system throughout almost all of its history.

Corporate charters were very strict in the United States until the 1880's, as well as welfare in the terms of Homestead Acts.

In the early 1900's Teddy Roosevelt had trust busted.

1920's Harding's Welfare act.

In the 1930's FDR pushed Socialism direct micromanagement over Capitalism + Social Security & Minimum Wage
& FDR actually achieved champion growth for 20th century USA history.

In the 1950's the GI Bill & a 91% top tax bracket.

1960's LBJ's Great society, continued until today & had achieved the #3 economic GDP growth, and presumably the biggest drop in poverty rates in United States history.

The War on Poverty: 50 years of failure

The 1950's poverty rate stood at 22%, give or take, LBJ cut that poverty rate in nearly half, presumably approx 40% less poverty.
LBJ is the biggest GDP growth champion USA President since 1950.

ONLY, FDR, and Harding can compare for USA Presidents in the 20th Century, for economic GDP growth.

Not only did FDR, and Harding support welfare implementation.

But, Authoritarian Right wing Socialists like Franco & Hitler had 20th century growth, that dwarf anything the USA had done.

It's what happened afterwards that's more important.

Obviously you didn't have time to read my link, so I just want to post one paragraph of it here.

The U.S. Census Bureau has just released its annual poverty report. The report claims that in 2013, 14.5 percent of Americans were poor. Remarkably, that's almost the same poverty rate as in 1967, three years after the War on Poverty started. How can that be? How can government spend $9,000 per recipient and have no effect on poverty? The answer is - it can't.

Social programs sound good, but not only the needy will use them. They promote irresponsibility and laziness. They encourage people to fail instead of succeeding. Now of course I don't mean everybody. I mean those that play the system and know how to do it well. Some people do need them because of circumstances they had no control over.

I actually support Clinton's welfare reform.

Those who can work, should work.

In fact, I support the Government shifting unemployed welfare peoples who CAN WORK to go work on farms, in construction, and in landscaping, restaurants to replace Illegal Immigrant labor.

On the other hand, those who can't work, shouldn't have to.

Disability benefits help society, first off it keeps homeless, dying people, and mentally ill, or mentally retarded from causing mischief on the streets.

Second off disability benefits are pumped back into the economy, in the form of consumerism.

I never bought that consumerism angle. Nobody quits eating because they don't have the money. They will eat one way or the other. And disability doesn't pay that much for people to have residual income. That means outside of necessities, they don't have money to circulate into the economy.

I'm not arguing that social programs have no place in our society; they do. My cousin was on welfare after she and her husband broke up because of drugs. She was a housewife and mother with no place left to go. After her two children were old enough to get into school, she went to school as well. After she graduated, she obtained a job and got off of welfare. She paid back every cent she took and more. One of her children has mental problems, but the other graduated from college.

However her story is rare when it comes to welfare, even though she's a classic example of people that the welfare system was created for. As long as you have children, you won't be out on the streets. The more children you have, the more government goodies you get.

The greatest president of all time proves he is the man for the job by continuing to take benefits from those who need it the most the Elderly and Disabled. He continues to propose more spending cuts on these programs. The republicans really know how to save money, screw the people in this country who need those benefits the most the Elderly and Disabled. And I have to pat them on the back for making more disabled people have to go through more hoops just to get their benefits; review boards every few years to prove they really have a disability and aren't faking it or no longer need the money. We all know too many people in wheelchairs, on crutches, the blind, the deaf, the mentally retarded, and mentally ill are freeloaders and don't really need that money the government gives them. So many are just faking it after all. We also know way too many seniors are living high hog on those outrageously high social security checks they get, we need to slash those too.

I remember a woman I met who was disabled in wheelchair for severe back problems and deaf getting repeatedly denied disability benefits in her "Republican" state she lived in. She had to talk to the people denying her benefits through an interpreter who used sign language. It took 3 times going in person to try to get her benefits, writing letters to congressman, having doctors call in person stating why she needs these benefits, submitting medical records, and many months of stress. I specially remember a lady telling her over the phone "well I am disabled and I don't need benefits, I can work. Just because your disabled mam doesn't mean your entitled to benefits."

I remember all the loopholes and stress that poor woman had to go through just to get her benefits. Now the Republicans want these disabled American's to go through even more loopholes and stress just to get the benefits they need because too many Americans are faking a disability. So just to save some money we have to subject those disabled Americans who truly need those benefits too all this stress and hardship just to receive their benefits. Brilliant plan Republicans! Just Brilliant!

He’s got to try to pay for tax cuts to the ultra wealthy somehow

Social programs save peoples lives, and definitely help with consumerism.

Although, I support pushing work ability welfare recipients into the workforce.

Although, a sizable chunk of our taxes go to the NON-Working, who shouldn't have to work, either.

A.) A lot of Federal money taken out of your paycheck, actually goes to senior citizens, in terms of Medicare, Social Security, and actually they too can get Food stamps, or Welfare sometimes too.

B.) A lot of Local money taken out of your paycheck, actually goes to school children, to pay for their education.

C.) Many of the "Remainders" are those on disability.

There's definitely a large problem with fraud, and people gaming the system, no doubt.

A lot of it is actually Protestants, just another reason to NOT like them very much.

Blacks in this country are mostly Protestants, same with White trash, like Appalachians.

I don't like either side of it, I think Protestants are kinda suckie, in the USA, and also in Europe where they cry about Islamaphobia calling for hatespeech jail time thought crimes, or supporting euthanasia, abortion, or trannie rights above all.

I actually DO have more of a problem with Protestants than I do with Muslims.

Protestants are a problem here, far greater than Muslims.

Muslims are coming into Europe & even our country, largely thanks to Protestant Liberals.

Protestants are trash, I don't really respect these weak idiots.

Just traitors of the Catholic faith, anyways, a sin against God & Christ.

My grocery store has their share of food stamp people. The new scam is they ask if they could use their food stamps to buy some of your food items while in the checkout line. When you are done doing that, you give them the money for the food stamps they used for your items. They usually spend like $40.00 of their food stamps, and only ask for $30.00 back in cash from you, so if you participate, you make out by ten bucks.

In reality, many don't need those food stamps, but why turn down free money from the government? In Maine, they instituted food stamp requirements for people with no dependents. You either work 20 hours a week, be enrolled in a training program, or volunteer your time for 20 hours a month. As it turns out, those people were not that hungry after all. Most of them just dropped out of the program.

Food stamp rolls plummet in states that restore work requirements

I'll agree it's not an equitable system, nor will ever be a meritocracy Ray

The waste and corruption works all ends of the gub'mit tax dime

Yet the great unwashed exists in every society....what do we do? let them die in the streets?

So it becomes a 'who watches the watchers' issue ....

Who do we trust with the cup of tax kindness to inspire, not inebriate , it's recipients?

I think there should be more oversight.

Many years ago I was working at a place. My coworker was telling me about a story he heard from his wife. She worked at a convenience store. They were discussing how hard it is to make ends meet, and one of her coworkers told her that all they have to do is go to various government agencies and apply.

What she said she did was tell them her husband left her. They had children so they showered them will all kinds of assistance. The problem is, the husband didn't go anywhere. He worked at the auto plant making excellent money, and they just made up the story to get stuff from the government. The government never checked the story out.

 

[sparky]

I used to work with many of these sorts Ray

To be honest, many of them had some history, some ......and off to save the planet they went

But it's all nickle /dime squabble to me, even the calculated abuse of our own people can't hold a candle to the grand scope of gub'mit hand outs to both legal and illegal immigrants , or foreign policy affairs

Disability is the welfare portion of SS and we need to stop it.

Not only is it tremendously fraudulently used but it is the wrong use for the money that suppose to be collected for retirement.

The best thing to do is to phase out SS but in the meantime lets at least stop the disability welfare part of it.

Trump is the Man!

Having a best friend who depends on Social Security Disability, due to Autism, Bi Polar disorder, and a 63 IQ.

I'm not really feeling Trump, and his idiotic supporters at this rate.

The idea that some kind Americans should just die on the streets, because they can't work because of a disability is not just amoral.

It actually not even logical, considering the money goes back into the economy into consumerism.

Why isn't his family helping your disabled friend?

You got a link about that story? I'm 100% disabled and on Social Security and I just got a COLA for 2020. You must be reading the Huffington Post or messages on the subway toilet wall.
