There's a 70 year old guy who plays senior softball with us who doesn't have a pot to pee in. He's a vietnam vet receiving a small disability benefit as well as his social security. All totaled, he gets about $750 a month.

The only job he's ever had his entire life was that of a taxi driver. Until he just moved to Texas to stay with a niece, he was living in a motel room where he payed $640 a month rent.

This guy could probably qualify for every govt. program out there but we could never get him to do it. He definitely has mental problems, likely from his head injury in vietnam. Jimmy is the guy these programs were designed for but it's the other scum who are taking advantage of them....

If you read the above requirements, actually your Vietnam Vet friend would NOT qualify for the “free” Obama phone. That’s what’s so skewed about this “free” stuff the government offers. It all seems to be geared to those with children or those who are already getting some kind of assistance or the mentally impaired and/or addicted.

I have a friend who receives $850/mo social security and she still doesn’t qualify for food stamps, they told her she receives just $20 a month too much to qualify.

It’s all a huge scam.
