[QUOTE="Crazy Farmgirl, post: 958442, member: 17302"] Well I'm sure I'll take a beating for this but this is how I see it. Medicare and social security should absolutely be there for those who worked and contributed to it. I don't however feel that they should be expected to supply "luxury" items (cell phones, internet, cable tv, ..ect). I also feel that there should be welfare for those who need temporary help in hard times, but again for necessity items and not luxuries they have become accustomed to. I'm sorry but it chaps my behind to no end to go to the grocery store to see the mothers with their kids dressed in name brand latest fashions, yappin on their cell phones stocking their carts with junk food and the most expensive foods in the store paying with food stamps and wheeling it out to their brand new SUV... :bang: It is also very popular in our area for elderly parents to give their possessions to their kids so they can meet income/asset guidelines for govt benefits or their children are very well off and they are getting social security and the kids do nothing but complain how the govt should do more for them....no if you want better for your parents then bust out your checkbook!
