I’ve mentioned here before that I’m a volunteer triage interviewer for a local food/clothing bank.
A very common response when I ask an interviewee, “Do you have a job,” is, “Don’t need a job, I got unemployment.” Or, the alternative, “Don’t need a job, I got unemployment and I applied for SSI.”
It is interesting that, of all the dependency encouraging programs at his disposal, nobama always talks about extending unemployment “benefits.”
God, help our country, please?
How about this one, which I got at the prison from some of my relatives' (mentioned elsewhere on this thread) companions: "I'm getting SSI, and when I get out, my lawyer is getting me an additional bonus settlement, because I was denied SSI for the same disability from 2007 to 2010."
God helps those who help themselves.
