GOP sets sights on least able to defend themselves

That's one thing that sets me against the GOP, wanting to do away with or gut things like Medicare, SS, etc.
 
So... why do ANY seniors vote for them then??? We are a huge voting block. If all of us voted for our own financial and health interests these things wouldn't happen to us..
 
I think they're looking at the fraud in giving benefits to SOME....I say, SOME....who don't need it. Before anyone goes ballistic....I said SOME. NOT ALL. I want that understood right here, right now, okay?

I work at Walmart. I was on a register, giving a cashier a break. A lady came through, buying filet mignon, lobster tails, expensive steaks and a 60" TV and Blue-Ray player.

I said, "Wow! This looks good! (Meaning food) Then I said, "Nice TV! Those are great. You'll love it."

She smiled and said, "Yes, we bought a lake house and having a celebration."

I said, "ooooohh, I'll be right over!"

We both laughed, then she paid for the food with her food stamps card, then peeled off 6 hundred-dollar-bills to pay for the TV and dvd player.

I said, "Isn't going to be rough to deal with two houses?" (I'm not a dummy.)

She replied, smiling, "Oh it is! I wouldn't know what to do without a cleaning service!"



You can't make this up. It happens. I hope they crack down on fraud and clean this whole mess up.
 
Me too... and I often wonder WHY it's always a Republican who just happens to be behind someone in a checkout line with the Fillet and lobster and Dom Perigon in the cart ahead paying with food stamps.
 
Now it is SNAP card as it is called here to facilitate it and be less embarrassing. I know a man that is a staunch Republican who is poor enough to qualify for this and many government programs that he never believed in!
