This is nuts. My dad recently died. My mom now hasn't got a dime to her name and we kids are picking up the tab. Fortunately the cute manufactured home (it's nice) is paid for.

She lives in Oregon, one of the biggest welfare states and so we started checking into her getting benefits. It's like pulling teeth. They nitpick everything. I guess it's because she's white and born here in 1940.

She only has her small SS and job “pension” and now will get dad's SS. Neither of them ever made much to pay much into the system. We called to get her off Medicare and onto Medicaid and, again, amazingly difficult.

And these jerks were just handed stuff. Where are the trillions in our welfare state going if NOT to folks like my mom? Not that we don't mind paying her measly bills ourselves but we have obligations too.

Don't answer, the question was rhetorical. It all goes to overhead and is skimmed off the top by the biggest criminal mafia America has ever seen - The DNC!

If my mom of 73 (today) wasn't still grieving over the loss of my dad last month I'd tell her I'd make the point the welfare state she supported (lifelong left wing Dem) is BS like I've told her for the last 35 years!!

Guess she's seeing it first hand but I doubt it makes a dent. Can't even get Oregon to move on the $250 EBT they say she might get a month.

I know anecdotal evidence is crap, just saying.

You don’t think they’re actually spending the money on the PATIENTS, do you?
