You tried but failed ...

A lot of this money goes to “poor” children of “oppressed” minorities. The dems know that and want it to continue.

The leaders elected by Californians is such a reflection of themselves! At least, in Oregon the democrat Senators & Congress people don’t say abjectly moronic things. I need some wood to knock on....

For a liberal, the only reason a government program fails is because the republicans wouldn’t give it enough money. “Other people’s money” will fix anything. No matter how many times they get more money and keep seeing failure, the answer is still “more money”.

They have similar patterns in other areas.

The only reason we don’t know that Trump conspired with the Russians is that we haven’t investigated enough. And if more investigations are done and no evidence is found, Trump should still be impeached because it’s true and we just need more investigations.

When the seas don’t rise, and temperatures don’t go up, and ice doesn’t melt as much as “science” predicted, we just need to wait longer. It can’t be that predictions are wrong, just that we haven’t waited long enough.

A liberal’s feelings cannot be wrong. So when something looks like failure, there must be another explanation.

The victims here seem more victim to evil family members and mental health laws and rulings.

SSI is probably abused as often as not.

Government money (our taxes) is an opiate. The welfare/entitlement state is strangling our system of government to stay addicted. There is never enough.

Neat, concise way of putting it.

“The SSI program was originally intended for those liberals branded too old or too stupid to work.”

That is my sister - too stupid to work....
She could work but says her back back (she does have problems) keeps her from working yet she does yard work, walks to the store and back. She pays for it by being laid up for a few days. She gave up about 12 years ago when she lost her job.

I offered to pay for the back surgery that probably would fix her issue but she is hoping for full disability payments but the gov’t won’t give that to her as they know the back surgery should fix her up. Full payment is around $1,200 a month I think.

She currently gets $805 a month with SSI. That includes about $80 food supplement from the state. She rents space in a house of a friend for $300 which leaves her with $500 for food and misc. She is always broke every month as she wastes money buying cigarettes and feeding wild animals.
Just to stupid.

It is evil to try to get someone a home instead of leaving them homeless in NYC?

They didn’t give him a home! They forced an unfair guardianship on him which made it illegal for him to work or own property, dragged him back into filthy nasty California, forced him against his will to be homeless again in LA then go live in a group home for mentally ill and retarded adults! he was 3 days away from getting a ticket to New Hampshire where it would’ve been easy for him to get a job an be independent but no. He ended up being forced back into California where that was too difficult!

he was homeless twice

Through no fault of his own! I've been talking to Stewart Z. by email, he told me how he was homeless in New York after his greyhound ticket was stolen. Instead of replacing it they forced him into a crappy homeless shelter! They did this because NYC employees get paid big bucks the more homeless and distressed there are!

He tried to get a replacement from labor ready and doing chores but then his parents found out he was in NYC, applied for an emergency guardianship under NY mental hygiene laws, lied to the judges and "experts" and forced him back to California against his will.

He's having a hard time there because jobs are being taken away by immigrants legal and Illegal and because of liberal policies. When he got there, his parents forced him into another homeless situation and told him they didn't want him going out of the state. He was then forced into a group home against his will! At this home, he is not allowed to go out on his own, he has no rights and no privileges, he can't work while under guardianship. His parents abuse him. He is miserable.

Had he made it to New Hampshire like many others I know, he would've gotten a job and a place of his own! Not possible in places under firm control of Democrats. Business is hurt hard, unemployment and poverty are rampant, living costs and rent too high!

California is no place for a young man starting out on his own. He has no chance there.

Yes! SSI can be discovered by employees and landlords! They can know your receiving it and on that basis discriminate because they feel that the person receiving it is either retarded or mentally ill and a liability!

Its the fault of New York for not letting Stu go to New Hampshire where he could get a job, the parents for forcing him back into that unemployment snake pit and then dumping him on the streets then the group home and the fault of California for not protecting him from bullies when he was in school and for creating a socialist fiefdom that prevents job creation and affordable housing!

In short, it is the fault of liberalism! How its his fault that he's in the situation he's in I don't know. I mean, once that economy melts down under liberalism, you have no control over that!
