Context: A standard Safeway in an upper-middle class East Bay suburb of San Francisco, 8:30 PM PST.
I just got home from the grocery store where I went to get a few items for my wife (vegetables, chicken) etc. and was getting my retired Dad a gift card so he can make ends meet. He is not doing well and living on Social Security and a part-time job, and I know he needs the money for food (and dog food).
I was going through the self-check out but there was a sign "no gift cards" so I went back into the regular line.
There were two women, both about 5' tall and only spoke Spanish, they had 5 children, all under 5 years old and they were chatting and screaming, normal kid stuff.
They had a full basket, and when they were done, pulled out WIC (Food Stamp) cards and charged over $200 on it. The card didn't take the first time, they had to remove items, etc. but finally, the Latino family left the grocery store.
I only had a few items, including my father's gift card, so I came out right as one of them drove up in a late model Ford Expedition with the shiny flashy rims. There were 5 car seats and some kind of Spanish music coming out of the speakers.
I bust my ass to feed my family, pay taxes and keep my family above water...who the hell takes my tax dollars to give to these illegal invaders and their spawn?
I was so angry thinking of my Dad back East clipping coupons while these 3rd Worlders steal every week from the US taxpayer.
I am angry, really angry. I have had enough.

“I am ready to roll when you are!”
Count me in.
You know, Ed, there are advocacy groups, get this, ON THE STATE/LOCAL/FEDERAL PAYROLL, that seek people to push free social services onto.
They are “giving them their rights” and getting them on the dole.
Let’s review...worthless Government employee (3 deep if you count retired ones behind this one) we pay for life, with benefits (salary + 20% over private sector, plus unfunded lifetime pension) to hand out lifetime money to people who never paid into it...
That is probably an negative $1 million dollars in opportunity costs for providing the government worker and all the doling out.
The Government likes to spend our money to keep themselves an the union coffers full.
Suicide is a great analogy.
No, it was baby food, milk, etc.
Maybe what McGee was saying “let’s let women govern for real “CHANGE”!
It’s so bad that there is a grocery store business model that expands into welfare rich neighborhoods to take advantage of the readily available food stamp income.
Wait til you get ready to retire - and find out you have to work until you're 90 years old so some gang banger can get Social Security Disability ( for being a drug addict ) for a lifetime - starting at age 28...
The retired, ex-Vietnam Vet types can provide guidance, but I am in my early 40’s (41) and a lot of people my age and younger do not love America. They have been told since kindergarten that the US is a bad place (slavery, Japanes internment camps, Iraq invasion) and submission and cultural shame is the mantra of the Marxists who left Haight Ashbury and are now in power (see Judge Breyer of the SCOTUS, Kerry, Schumer, Pelosi, Ayers).
The key is the youth, and frankly they are either Mexican (that isn’t all bad, some are very patriotic) or apathetic, Ipad using, skinny jeans wearing losers who emulate black rappers and text each other all day.
Our best options lie in the soldiers we have now in the field, they are the best and brightest. The Marxists are after them, too (DADT, minority promotions).
I fear the future for us Anglos, I truly do.
They maybe talking of cutting SS but for the past two-3 years there was NO COLA! That to me was cuts.............
In that same time Congress had 2+ raises! Screw them all, including the back-stabbing Rino I voted for. Next time I’ll write in F.N. Goofy, if there is no true Conservative to vote for, on all levels.
By the way I have personally known that B-S Rino since 1972!

Not a surprise.
We have something similar here in California.
Idiots.
Many who are now on the welfare system are third or more generations on the dole. Trust me they have playing the system down pat. A friend of mine worked in the welfare office and got very angry over all the nice cars the “clients” would arrive in. She tried to get them investigated and had police run plate numbers in the parking lot- the nice vehicles were always registered to a family member- even though the welfare “client” was the only one that ever drove them, in a small town you can figure this out pretty easy.
Man, I hear ya. Loud and clear.
Lived there in 1960 in one of the first Eichler tracts before 24 was built. Went to kindergarten on Main St.
Maybe this will comfort you: it can’t go on like this forever!/s
Things are getting out of hand! This letter came from a doctor in Danville, IL.
Dear Mr. Limbaugh,
I was speaking to an emergency room physician this morning. He told me that a woman in her 20’s came to the ER with her 8th pregnancy. She stated “my momma told me that I am the breadwinner for the family.” He asked her to explain. She said that she can make babies and babies get money for the family. The scam goes like this: The grandma calls the Department of Child and Family Services and states that the unemployed daughter is not capable of caring for these children. DCFS agrees and states that the child or children will need to go to foster care. The grandma then volunteers to be the foster parent, and thus receives a check for $1500 per child per month in Illinois. Total yearly income: $144,000 tax-free, not to mention free healthcare (Medicaid) plus a monthly “Linx” card entitling her to free groceries, etc, and a voucher for 250 free cell phone minutes per month. This does not even include Wick and other welfare programs. Indeed, grandma was correct in that her fertile daughter is the “breadwinner” in the family.
I hope you share this story with your listeners so that they know how the ruling class spends their tax dollars.
Also, many thanks for the fine service you provide in educating people about the merits of conservative thinking.
