Let me guess... they’re out of money for those of us who paid into it all our lives, but can still afford to pay for:
Welfare, Food Stamps, WIC, ADIC, Section 8 housing, heating assistance, free cell phones, free internet, free bus passes, etc., etc.
That's about it.
There is also a massive racial bias involved in all levels of our government (federal, state, local).
Here in NJ, the majority white suburbs have been paying double their property taxes for the last 26 years, so that urban black districts get incredible amounts of education funding without their residents paying for it.
It is called the "Abott Decision" and the NJ courts hung this albatross around the necks of the suburbs.
A NJ Senator (a Democrat!) proposed following the NJ Constitution (which stipulates education will be "equal") and spend the same on every student in NJ across the board.
So, for instance, if Camden or Newark NJ spends $32,000 per student, a student in Moorestown only gets $17,000, but that students parents property taxes are astronomical so that the kids in Camden or Newark get better facilities, tutors, and just about anything else those districts want - without the taxes on them!
Well, as soon as this was floated, out came this:
Or governments will NEVER cut Section 8 housing, "job training", welfare, food stamps, etc. A greater percentage of the black and Hispanic population takes from those programs as a much greater percentage than whites.
And this will continue. If some white couple doesn't get their Medicare or Social Security, so be it so we can continue with welfare.
Wow... We are on exactly the same page!
But beware - - even around here at FR there are a handful of mice who think "means testing" is the answer. As far as I'm concerned, only AFTER the bums, deadbeats, and parasites who comprise the Democrat party "base" have been cut off, THEN maybe there can be talk about trimming "entitlements" for the people who have been paying the freight for those bums, deadbeats, and parasites their entire lives. Not one minute before.
Meanwhile...
CONFIRMED:
One in 19 Americans today gets SSDI or SSI. That's one in 19 Americans who are "disabled."
