100% agree with this.
I'm quite certain that some of those people on the dole in the US were doing really well 3 years ago and they too wanted to stop all welfare, social security, medicare etc.......
That was before they hit rock bottom. Now they need it to survive. I'm sure they sing a different tune now.
If it weren't for a few government programs in place my family would have been 100% fucked when my dad died in 1969.
His medical bills cleaned him and my mom out and he went bankrupt, then he died. Leaving a wife and two kids behind.
Now............... he was far from a dead beat, he was the first guy to bring VWs into the United States way back when. He was very well off and paid into the government coffers his entire life and luckily when he wasn't there the programs he'd paid into were.
Just sayin'

My medical expenses eat up close to 50% of my monthly income and I am eligible for government assistance and free healthcare if iwere to give this up. I won't, but if I did, I would happily take a piss test for the benefits since others would be supporting me. |
