Who on earth can get SSDI or welfare? I’m disabled, trying to get on disability since 2004, to no avail. I’m childless, because I was responsible enough to realize I shouldn’t ask the government to pay for kids that *I* can’t afford.
So what happens?
Thanks to Bill Clinton, if you’re between 18 and 65 years old, you can only get help if you (irresponsibly) have kids you can’t afford! Those of us who weren’t trying to be career breeders are out of luck! Yet the “refugees” and illegals get all manner of assistance.
As for disability? Get real. It’s nearly impossible to get. I know a Trump supporter who’s legally blind, which should automatically qualify her for disability. They turned her down, saying that she could get a job folding laundry.
I’m not kidding.
I was a caregiver for someone who was legally blind, and I can assure you, that person couldn’t even cross the room by herself, let alone travel to a place of employment and fold clothes. Medically speaking, you’re better off being totally blind than legally blind (i.e., nearly-blind), because low vision causes all sorts of issues with balance, chronic vertigo, etc. For anyone to say that such a person can hold down a job, when the law itself says that this person should be automatically qualified for disability...well, let’s just say there’s a special place in Hell for anyone that horrible.
Every one of these disability judges and their “employment experts” should be expunged. They’re heartless, evil people who delight in denying disabled Americans the help they desperately need.
Yet able-bodied people from other countries can come here, drop anchor babies every year, and the benefits flow to them like a tidal wave.
This country could save a fortune if we’d cut off benefits to the career breeders, and instead give them to disabled people who deserve help.
Looks as though Texas is a bigger moocher than is California.
Social security recipients are considered moochers?
LOLOLOL
As far as I could tell, a good time was had by all.

Oh, go ahead and include the wookie anyway. It really bothers me that AZ is such a *moocher* state PLUS we have juan mcPain and jeff the flake. (Well, at least the weather’s nice now...sigh)

He just lost me right there.
As one of those "moocher" conservative seniors on Social Security, the government collected SS tax from me every year, under penalty of law. I hated paying it and felt that I could do much better if I invested it on my own, but was not allowed to. OTOH the government promised me a return for my taxes, and I am not a moocher when I take that return.
And using the words "moocher" for military personnel who put their life on the line for minimal pay is just downright despicable. I have a few former Marine friends who will straighten him out right away if he cares to come out here and show his face.
I think I believe some of it (the claim). But it is hollow and not without purpose IMO.
It’s no secret that federal spending in traditional Republican states has been on the increase; I believe Democrats supporting out of sense to entice Democrat leaning souls to move there and Republicans supporting it because I never saw a Republican that wouldn’t take a damned government dollar.
I noticed this in Georgia, particularly. Former areas like Cobb and Gwinnett Counties turning bluer - moving in more government-assisted ‘citizens’ by the tens/hundreds of thousands it seemed at the time.
I’m pretty sure funding for Interstate Highways come into play, Texas has more Interstate Highways than any other state. Texas is number one in farm subsidies, plus we have numerous Military installations and NASA. This doesn’t take into consideration the number of Federal employee’s on the longest border with Mexico of any other. VA medical facilities and out clinic’s should come into play and we have over 100.
To rely on the amount of federal money spent in a state and not designate where or to who it goes to is rather misleading. If it’s based on a percentage of general revenue it hide many of the details.
I might add that Texas is either number one or two of those states paying in the most in federal taxes.

The “career breeders” are an essential part of another scam: public education and the unions involved in it. That is why we allow “unaccompanied minors” into our country, and those who breed with multiple wives (Muslims) as well.
Yes, a big problem (and a driver behind the push to increase the minimum wage) is that in many places, workers end up in the same neighborhoods, using the same schools for their children, as welfare sows and their broods. The only difference is that one lies around swelling to 500 lbs. while the other comes home tired each day...
Blacks make up 13% of the overall population by the percentage is much higher in the Southern states. And the Southern states have something most other states do not: rural blacks.
Large parts of Mississippi, Arkansas, Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina have rural blacks were there simply are no jobs. While over the past century and a half many have moved to places where the jobs where: Chicago, Gary, Detroit, Pittsburgh, etc., the rest have stayed in the same place their slave ancestors were when the Civil War ended.
No offense to them, but those rich cotton lands didn’t have and still do not have much industry. Share-cropping went away 50 years ago or more with the advent of completely mechanized farming.
Most of these folks are on assistance of some kind. The largest percentage are in Mississippi, which is why Mississippi is the greatest so-called moocher state.
