for food stamps, in reference to BO's policy. I don't think she meant they were going to quit their jobs! LOL
Considering Obama won the race, his supporters sure are touchy today. Breathe! :-)

Let me just qualify this, as some might remember me...
talking about affordable health care and I was able to make it, yada yada, are now thinking "she has room to talk, she is on hubby's insurance." Well, let me put that to rest. This is second marriage for both of us. Suffice it to say, I am paying out the same amount of money I was paying out before the marriage. Also suffice it to say, BOTH of us learned in marriage #1 to keep finances independent. LOL. Just clarifying that. :-)
after reading this, I qualify what I said above...
Obama is not a communist YET. He is in the socialist stage.
"dam near dead to qualify for it" (sm)
You're right on the money there!!! I applied 10 months ago due to chronic pancreatitis from cystic fibrosis. (In fact, I was just discharged from my 10th hospitalization yesterday, after spending the night in the hospital for what they deemed to be a small stroke.)
I'm at the point now where I'm awaiting a hearing. My lawyer said it can take up to 14 months for one to be scheduled.
I was doing great with the medicines I had been prescribed because three of them are free from the manufacturer based on my income. One of these medications is the Duragesic patch, which would cost almost $700 a month if I wasn't enrolled in this program. (With this new diagnosis, however, I need to check to see who manufactures some of the other medicines I've now been prescribed.)
I would encourage anyone who has difficulty paying for their medicines to find out who manufactures them. I think many of them have a patient assistance program. It can really help a LOT.
How is it dishonest to qualify for food stamps?
I don't think anybody is getting rich off foodstamps! The whole thing that set me off down below was the post about what people were buying with foodstamps.
I have a cousin who will not work - yes, he is a moocher. I don't condone what he does whatsoever. He gets a grand $110 a month in food stamps. Now tell me how that is really helping anybody? He could make that in half a day as he has his CDLs and can drive a truck for anybody.
Nobody is getting rich taking welfare!
I have a friend who got hurt 2 years ago and cannot work due to the injuries he sustained. Because he brings home 173.00 a week, he does not qualify for foodstamps, or any type of help because of his income. Now how do you support anybody off of that? He cannot afford even to get a project to live in. At $173 a week, his rent was going to be $300.
I cannot see a way to abuse the foodstamp program. It is a program that was designed to help low-income people and obviously people meet those requirements even working as a family!
It's very difficult to qualify for welfare these days. It is the rich getting

Yes, I was sarcastic...........sm
and with cause.
This is a forum where MTs come to discuss...guess what...POLITICS. These same MTs go to the other boards to discuss issues pertinent to the purpose of the other boards.
Like you said, we are not in the fifth grade anymore. A fifth grader knows that you go to the refrigerator to find the milk, not the oven.
I am not being sarcastic. I want to know
why you think we are "saved"? The O is a man, like I said before, not a miracle worker and not a savior. You have put him on a pedestal an he can do no wrong. I read a lot of your other posts and I think you are the sarcastic one. I'm just trying to get a decent discussion going on issues.

no further message needed
No not really. I was trying to be sarcastic like the troll, sm
but I should have just ignored the troll.
I don't know if Bush should be impeached, but I'm not happy with this administration. Also, I don't think his impeachment, if we were to go there, would endanger the soldiers anymore than they are already.
I sincerely thank you, and I don't mean that in a sarcastic way at ALL.
THank you!
I think she was just being sarcastic not making fun of
