What are the latte-drinking liberals at NPR up to these days? Oh, just driving around in Real America trying to find out how Real Americans feel about the election. What are Real Americans thinking? What are their concerns? What do they want in a candidate? This is shocking but apparently Real Americans are thinking that America is turning into a "socialistic" paradise and are concerned that too many people are taking “handouts” so they will vote for Romney because he is going to decrease the size of government in vague and nonspecific ways. Also, it should be noted that the “government programs” in which Real Americans are themselves enrolled are Different from "handouts" and thus not like socialism at all! See, the real problem is that so many Other People are living off the taxes of Real Americans and not working, or alternatively, acting like rational economic actors and discovering that their unemployment benefits pay more than the jobs available to them and are thus disinterested in looking for work.
Try living high on the hog on $400 a week in NYC. That's the max you can get on unemployment, and it's about 1/2 of the average rent.
It sounded like (from the transcript) his wife kind of understands this, but she's still gonna vote Rmoney because .... actually this part was a bit unclear. Maybe habit, maybe the Prez is still black, maybe deferring to her idiot husband, (maybe fibbing?).
Almost all Medicare recipients are SS recipients. The "full-retirement" age for me (born in 47) is only 66. And anyone on Medicare because of disability is also on SS disability.
Exactly, just like disability insurance, workmanship comp, Medicare and Soshecurity. Agricultural price supports, on the other hand, are pure welfare, Farmer Kniggah.
my last (freak show of a) job was also with a gov't / tax hatin republican. and they too were sucking at the gov't teat (Medicare consultants).
the most hateful bunch of people i've ever worked with.
I am honored to not only pay taxes for milk subsidies, farmer Knigge, I am also delighted to pay for the artificially inflated price at the store. No offense though, I am more proud to pay to subsidize billionaire sugarcane farmers so they can pollute the Everglades, which I also enjoy paying to clean up.

Yeah, it's not like those people at Jamestown had to rely on any help from others- no socialism for them!

Let them eat subsidies.

And that only starts on the second day. The first day is your contribution to society.
Sadly, there is a simple solution to the expense -- make the recipient pay for it.
Almost all Medicare recipients are SS recipients. The &quot;full-retirement&quot; age for me (born in 47) is only 66. And anyone on Medicare because of disability is also on SS disability.
Yes.
