Most people on welfare are hardworking, taxpaying citizens, just like the rest of us. Or they are impoverished elders or folks with disabilities who worked hard at low-paying jobs for many years and do not qualify for juicy pensions. They "earned" welfare too. Most of the rest are children, who "earned" welfare simply by being born into poverty in the US. I would not want to live in a country that let its youngest citizens go hungry.

You are right, and he is definitely NOT Mr. String Bean. More like Mr. Potato Head.

Basically a hot cereal of any number of types of grains (often oatmeal) thinned down with water until it could practically be drunk rather than eaten.

All safety equipment Banned! Except for the "safety" found in firearms.

The whole point is to make it so dangerous that only rich, entitled fools will be out there competing with each other over nothing.

My not rich, entitled ass would love to have an autobahn in the US. For my not rich, entitled 1999 Ford Taurus SHO. It doesn't come with a firearm, but it does come with lots of rust. But yeah, I get your point, LOL!

Why the fuck is fish $12.99 per pound anyways? Or dandelion greens $8 per pound. I don't eat a lot of the processed foods, but I can see if you only have $200 per month for food, you'd probably eat a lot of cheap corn-filled crap because how could you afford to eat healthily? So damn the poor for eating at $12.99; damn them for eating $1 crap from the dollar store; why not damn them for eating at all? Hitler had camps for all those worthless poor, the disabled, those of a different race, and those with a different religion. And since the nonfats cannot stand the fats today, they should be on the list, too. Perhaps you'd want to build something similar in your backyard, llgattomorte?

because Maine is filled with some of the stupidest, most closed minded, back assward people in the entire planet. living here after living in other places in the world has been like being sent to hell. they even have laws defending men to use undeadly force against women & the disabled. anyone want to buy my house?

Gov. LePage looks like he has indulged in the occasional sweet. Perhaps the taxpayers should tell him they don't want his government salary - which they pay - going towards cake, either.

Has Maine run out of king crab legs? Are the poor reduced to eating Necco wafers?

Well I disagree. If there weren't poor people who would cut Republicans' grass?

I wish we still had paper ballots. I keep waiting for a big storm on election day, the power fails, and nobody can vote. We had such a storm last night - but it wasn't election day.

On the bright side, he said poor people can eat all the road-kill lobsters they can find.
