Quite a voting bloc eh?
I figure they are giving it to illegals and others why not get my piece of the pie while its still there...my wife works and pays into the system mine as well get something back out of it and I don't feel a damn bit bad about it either.

I'd be interested to know how many out of that 40% will continue to collect some kind of entitlements throughout their life.
I wish one of us could find work we could make ends meet on but its just not happening anytime soon. I went to school got a skill ain't done me a bit of good in the 6 years I have had my skill have found no work. Once kids are back in school come September intend to start school again myself...not sure for what but gotta try something. Indeed this country is screwed by while we are at it go ahead get some of the pie the government is just handing out...we qualified for it.8$ an hour don't go far and thankfully for my SSI it pays the rent and some bills.Can't even afford to fill my vehicle up...been February since that happened.By golly you're entitled because it's your birthright!
This country of ours is thoroughly screwed!
"Free-stuff" for anyone must come from charity not government!
NationalAnarchist, I'm with you there. I had to quit my job in December because of my back and other physical problems. My husband's job is only part time. I have applied for SS/SSI but I'm doubtful of getting it. I'm waiting on my food stamps so I can go try to stretch them as far as I can. My husband is interviewing for a good job next week. It's the second time he's interviewed for the same job. I really hope he can get it.
We're not eligible for Medicaid. I had to get apply for the hospital's charities for my recent gallbladder surgery. My husband's work offers a personal care account through an insurance company but I've messed it up now by paying some bills from last year so now I have to figure out how to get my medicine that I need to have. My husband is a veteran so he goes to the VA clinic. My son doesn't have any medical coverage either, luckily he's pretty healthy.
