The Social Security Office, the Food Stamp Office, and the Welfare Office are few and far between. But people manage to get there in droves, no problems whatsoever. But, you know that.

Those aren't fundamental rights, and they get compensated for their time and transportation costs. Voting is a fundamental right, and they don't get compensated.

Besides, I'd be leery of associating SS with EBT or TANF. SS is the closest thing we have to a national pension plan. You get SS by paying into it. EBT and TANF don't require any prior financial contributions from the benefit recipients. SS recipients are overwhelmingly white. Paul Ryan's broadsides against SS and Medicare probably cost Romney the 2012 election. Of course, Romney was politically inept enough to choose Ryan as his running mate, despite the obvious problems with the latter's political manifesto.

I note that you are seemingly unfamiliar with the current state of Social Security Disability payments quite beyond the scope of the retirement benefits of social security.

The government is not obliged to treat adult citizens as though they are helpless children unable to do anything for themselves. Have you ever been to Court Day in downtown Camden, NJ or any other Democrat cesspool?
