3. I want to give this one more kick
This is important stuff. Repukes taking food out of the mouths of 84 years olds.

You should check out some of the posts on that other site. Compassionate Conservative my ass.

Can we also check to see about the home equity holdings of these "poor" seniors?

Reverse mortgage anyone, or are we workers shelling out so that their kids can inherit $250,000 free and clear?

(Bet this guy wants to repeal the inheritance tax though)

To: Diana in Wisconsin
Let them cut their own food, then.

(Yeah, starving seniors is funny)

I've been told that we have to eliminate 700 people by June
Isn't this what "death with dignity" is for? Eliminate the useless eaters. /sarcasm

(Just "effing" HILARIOUS dude)

When I was a kid, we lived in Milwaukee. We were dirt poor, and lived with my Mom's parents while my Mom worked menial jobs and Dad went to college to better himself and get us out of that hellhole (that was in the mid-60's...we escaped in 1970.)

My favorite meal was Grandma's homemade Mac-n-Cheese with free Government Cheese. :)

Please note two things:

1. We took advantage of charity when we needed it.
2. We got OUT of needing charity as soon as we could.

Funny how that escapes most people these days. ;)

I have NO problem with helping the elderly poor, but this particular program is a DUPLICATE. They're double-dipping, IMHO.

(Yeah Diana, your family took advantage of this program, but since you don't need it anymore, I guess it's worthless. Besides, "Grandma's a moocher", right?)
