No matter what the federal benefit, be it these guys on food stamps, a SS recipient, a federal retiree/eployee, a disability check recipient, their sense of entitlement is exactly the same and elicits the same response. “I paid in”, “I deserve it”, “they spend money on ‘x’ so don’t complain about my check”, “we had a contract” etc. ad nauseum.

We don’t have the money for this stuff - no matter what the excuse for it.

ANYONE who gets federal support from any source needs to consider this simple principle - when we don’t have the money, we don’t have the money.

hmm, the federal employees actually pay their own retirement ~ surprising to find you think you can just confiscate it.

So, how about us seizing your stuff first and selling it to raise some cash?
