58. "entitlement deadbeats"
Let's see, who would they be?

A partial list:

People on disability

People on unemployment

People receiving Social Security benefits

People on Medicare

Military servicemembers

Veterans on disability or receiving any VA benefits

Military retirees

Retired police officers and firefighters, including those who responded to the 9-11 attacks

Government employees, including Republican elected officials. (This one I especially love since Republicans control the Federal government and most State governments. If they hate the Gubmint so much, then why do they glom onto it so?)

Double-dipping military retiree/civilian contractors.

Anyone who is attending, or ever attended, a state college or university

Children on free or reduced-lunch programs (more than half of all children in the U.S.)


Boy, that's a lot of people! What a bunch of deadbeats. :eyes:

I'm sure no Freeper is included among them. Gawd bless their ruggedly individual bootstrap pulling free-market loving hearts! I just wish they'd devote more of their brilliant trickle-down financial acumen to actually pulling our economy out of the crapper than to griping about who we poor losers on DU are donating part of our welfare checks to, ya know? :shrug:
