[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 999769"] I've got no problem with social programs going to those that truly need it. My BIL is a paranoid scizophrenic and has never paid in. But at 44 years old gets a check. My mil gets ssi, worked her hole life and then had triple bypass at 60. She got disability until she was 65. Like I said, those that are in need of social programs I don't have issues with. But the guy running 3000 acres and 350 head, getting 50k a year for losses he never saw....or the people that planted deer plots and didnt know what they were soon but claimed losses... Or the farmer in Jo's example who did great on one side of the road, but counted on getting a check for doing nothin on the other side of the road.... The abuses abound and those abusing it are often those bytching about others on assistance programs. I haven't ever brought it up here, but there was a time in my life that we got food stamps. No matter how much I worked or how little I spent there wasn't enough to feed my family. There are people that do need the programs, an there are those that abuse them. Wether they are food stamps or " losses". Abuse is abuse and not the intent behind the programs in place. But the rationalization is the reason I started this thread [/QUOTE]
