...except the truly poor.

There are no "truly poor" in America. Anyone who claims otherwise has either never been to a third-world country, or they are deceiving you.

The great majority of Americans wouldn't even know what "truly poor" means.

‘truly poor’ is dial up internet and no cell phone.(sarc)

I know what you’re saying about truly poor in other countries and I agree. But, I would argue that if not for a social safety net, they’d be no better off than those in Mexico.

I know most of the Medicaid and so-called welfare is fraud. But not all. The dems just want to put more people on it and guarantee their future votes.

I’d prefer to root out the fraud and lower government spending. THAT would be the truly patriotic thing to do.
