Trump budget will slash $193 billion in Food Stamps and $800 billion in Medicaid over 10 Years.

The wrong post I didn't mean to respond to this post.

How do you guarantee that you know half the people on disability don't deserve it?

So, you are saying that you KNOW ALL the people on disability?

Seems kind of doubtful.

"Last month, CNN was able to confirm more than $3 million dollars in donated funds had been distributed to several dozen veterans organizations."

Even CNN, the outfit that hates Donald Trump more than any on earth probably, reported this.

just remember, class warfare what communism is really all about. Bottom up, Top down. Trump is top down. America is the most class conscious people in the world, you will NEVER see people with such vicious loathing and contempt for the poor of their own country in any other nation. just because there's these social programs , that's just because of the old christian ethics of America from 50 years ago. running up 20 trillion in debt is not kindness. the rich get richer off medicaid, it all goes to the medical industry not to the poor to spend.

I'm not the AC you're responding to, but I for one can say I know at least a dozen people on disability and only 1 is even close to legit. The other 11 are for drug addictions, alcoholism, PTSD and "bad" backs and knees due to morbid obesity.

Don't lie, your experiences are the same as the rest of us. For ever 1 legitimately broken human being we know another 10 on disability solely for the gibs.

only if you see something which isnt on that graph

it shows where jobs were during republican outgoing time of bush (red) and then subsequent democrat obama (blue) years

hello!

to person whoever posted the graph .... your audience here is mostly sub 100 iq people on the trump threads making pro trump posts ... if you come across someone who doesnt seem sub 100 posting pro-trump they are likely a paid and therefore complicit shill

The USAToday article was interesting. Now, keep in mind that I really don't have an opinion on this issue, but I have friends and loved ones that fall on both sides of the issue.

I did notice that this article offered an opposing viewpoint to the main premise: "Chavez said today's immigrants, like all other immigrant waves in the country's history, start off poorer and have lower levels of education, making it unfair to compare their welfare use to the long-established native-born population. She said immigrants have larger households, making it more likely that one person in that household will receive some kind of welfare benefit. And she said many benefits counted in the study are going to U.S.-born children of immigrants, skewing the findings even more."

And then I went to the Economic Policy Institute [link to www.epi.org]

And found this article that started with: "While immigration is among the most important issues the country faces, misperceptions persist about fundamental aspects of this crucial topic—such as the size and composition of the immigrant population, how immigration affects the economy and the workforce, the budgetary impact of unauthorized immigration, why increasing numbers of unaccompanied migrant children are arriving at the United States’ Southwest border, and the various facets of U.S. labor migration policy. This FAQ provides essential background on these topics."

Further down in the article it said: "One way to quantify immigrants’ contribution to the U.S. economy is to look at the wages and salaries they earn, as well as the income of immigrant-owned businesses, as a share of all wages, salaries, and business income in the United States. (See Table 1.) For the United States as a whole, immigrants’ share of total output was about 14.7 percent over 2009–2011. Note that this is actually larger than immigrants’ 13 percent share of the population."

And then further in, it mentioned this:
Total wage, salary, and business income (2011$) Share
Total population $5,042,277,015,987 100.0%
U.S. born $4,298,840,505,997 85.3%
Immigrant $743,436,509,990 14.7%

This is why I don't have a strong opinion. It seems that as a whole, the immigrant community is carrying its weight, but then there are incidental expenses like healthcare in the form of emergency room visits, and homelessness. And I am also very concerned about the drug gangs south of the border.

In fiscal year 2015, military spending is projected to account for 54 percent of all federal discretionary spending, a total of $598.5 billion. Military spending includes: all regular activities of the Department of Defense; war spending; nuclear weapons spending; international military assistance; and other Pentagon-related spending.

more for the rich, less for the poor maga!

Why do you know so many losers? I know exactly one person on disability and they most definitely should be on it.

the bad knees, backs,and ptsd are valid disabilities .... if the alcoholism and drug addiction is related to mental illness thats another valid disability if it impedes working

some of those obese peoole may not know it, but the pain meds they are taking cld be the cause of the weight gain ... as many of those cause weight gain and doctors apparently dont seem to warn of the side effect or tske note when people hv gained weight ... better to put up with the pain and not gain the weight, bc as you indicated it can led to other conditions

this world is a really bad hot mess of FUBAR

let's starve our poor people and bomb the shit out the world maga!

let's our old people die and buy more weapons maga!

Soooo..your saying I should have looked at the graph more closely? And since I did not that makes me a 100 iq? Are you kidding me? And stop with "Gotch" if I'm wanting that I'll watch cnn.

Yikes - it's dangerous to take away food stamps, healthcare, and welfare from the dirt poor, unless you want guns pointed at you on the streets, and a lot more robberies and thefts happening. This is a bad idea. Giving them this free shit keeps them on the other side of the tracks.

Finally someone who gets it.

We pay one way or the other. I've seen arguments that said its cheaper to do what you said otherwise there are more costs associated with homelessness, crime, etc.

We SOLD billions, not given aid. We do not give aid to Saudia Arabia recently.

Why not end ALL foreign aid as well as free shit to the poor and lazy?

They will quickly find themselves dead, meaning less poor. Problem solved.

These cuts in the safety net help pay for huge tax cuts for the rich. And by their own admission, the deficit will soar, putting spending on the credit card for the middle class to be paying off for generations to come.

LOL strawman much?

i know (not closely) three people who are on disability for mental illness issues and while you might think all of them cld work, with one of them the only time the person is safe to be around is when medicated and the medication renders the person too tired to function and when not on meds = crazytown dangerous ... the other two one might think cld work, but one gets bad bouts of debilitating depression, depite medication, which wld interfere with any job and the other can be aggresive nasty bitchy personality wise in-between apologizing for behavior that i dont see how anyone wld keep the person employed ... way too unstable and unpleasant to be around (maybe bc never learned boundaries or as a result of drugs done when younger or life or bc underlying personality disorder, idk)

hving had infections which crossed blood brain barrier and caused erratic neuro-psych symptoms myself, i cannot imagine living like that my entire life. i really feel badly for these people, but i dont want to be around them (wld be different if you loved someone though as long as they werent destructive to your life), not for any extended amount of time .... wld not want to work with someone like that ... responding angrily without knowing why when normally you are a laid back chill person ... and not really being able to stop oneself from those negative impulses which wldnt even happen normally is not easy to deal with at all ... being like that ones whole life? not good....must be really hard (if they are able to be aware of it) ... one of these people was a cleaning lady for me for awhile ... i cld not put up with her, so if i cldnt put up with someone like that doing a cleaning job, how is someone like that going to hv stable employment (i generally give people a long lead and am pretty understanding)

it is not easy for these folks to get on disability and the money is not much at all, esp. if they didnt work or work long enough to get ssd vs. ssi.

we shld actually be providing MORE for these people, not less.

im happy to pay taxes for helping people

but, not for corporate welfare or unnecessary wars or hurting / killing animals or doing damage to our planet

It's not hard to deduce. This exact theory has been circulating around for a LONG TIME. And it's gotta be true - we might find out.

Agreed. Should be random screens after receiving them.

Actually, "junk food" is the cheapest calories in the grocery store. $1.00 can buy 1100 junk food calories, but $1.00 can only buy 200 calories of fresh fruit and vegetables.

why does trump keep attacking the poor?

This is the shit right here. We all see it.

uh huh

that's just barbaric

your punishing people because they have the disease of addiction
