omg...Im talking about all the programs that we have currently. disability, government assistance for schooling, food stamps, WICC, medicaid...


i really love it how if you dont support in INCREASING the funding in these programs...its like you dont care about helping anyone.

my point of view, i see these programs working EVERYDAY. what more is it we need to do????

tell ya what....
put more money into education????

sure, but there are programs and oppurtunities available ALREADY. if a person finds it to stressful and too much work to follow through with any of these programs....they are not gonna cut it in college anyhow.

a helping hand..........its already there for MANY....but it must be reached for




Oh, those programs. I was wondering if I missed a new one.

Disability isn't a freebie. People paid the taxes for it while they were working.

My mom used to work for the company that gave WICC out in our city. It helped the children so much. They thrived. They even have lactation consultants and nutritionists.

I really believe that there are more people needing these programs now than ever. By helping the children, hopefully they will become better adults than if we hadn't helped.

three types of diability....federal, state, and from your insurance carrier.

but i think enough is enough....no more federal funded programs

I totally agree. Im now where near weathy and the middle class people do work hard if not harder than the rich but i do not think the government should be talking money from the wealthy and giving it to less weathy people. That totally takes away from the american dream.


He will tax people making over $250,000 a tax of 3% of what they made over $250,000. That will be about 5% of the population.

He will give tax cuts to the 95% of the people working that make under $250,000.
\\


** WRONG! There is no 95% .. 30% of people right now are NOT paying taxes. If Obama is is prez he is going to take give that 30% a welfare check every april. How would you like to take your money and give it to someone that is not paying taxes? The small business owners are going to get penalized. If they have to pay more money to spread then who is going to create the jobs? not the middle, low class. Nope. The majority of the jobs created will be government. More government programs and that is going to cost billions. I think it is every individual who needs to be held accountable for what they make. If you are happy at McDonalds, stay there, If you are a person who has goals and dreams and want to better yourself, go for it! I do not agree w/anyone, and I mean anyone to tell me or a person making more money than me that i have to pay more taxes to support the guy from mcdonalds or wherever that is wrong! Who the hell are you ?? I decide where my money goes! The state and federal take enough damn taxes as it is. I am so sick of the congress spending taxpayers money on bullsh&t programs. Cut the fat and then use that money to create jobs. I am so sick of people saying that the wealthy should spread the wealth. they do not owe you shyt .. you need to get off you azz and create your own wealth. stop *****ing about other people take control of your own future and don't depend on the government or the wealthier people. The wealthy doesn't owe you crap! I make $60,000 and i am ok w/that .. If I want more then Its up to ME to get it. If Obama is prez I bet everyone will not stride to better themselves ..y should they .. they will get handouts. What lazy people we have today in our country ..

What I like most about Obama is that he will stop giveing tax breaks to companies that take their factories overseas to exploit slave labor.

Those percentages were about the working people only. I said working people.

I wouldn't mind giving people a helping hand. I don't consider them hand-outs. People need help once in awhile during their time of need.

Yes, and he said that he will give tax credits for each person that the companies hire on U.S. soil. I forgot how much it was exactly.

Talk about welfare here we go they are going to bail out GM and Chrysler with 5 billion dollars so they can merge. Its seems to be the pattern to bail out everyone who got us into this mess and the only ones who will pay the price are the taxpayers. You had all the (used to be) big three exporting factories instead of cars gutting the middle class and those small companeis that serve them. Now when it has come home to roost they get bailed out with tax money from Mccdonalds workers and wall mart workers. Hey how about a little outrage over that? lets all get red in the face about food stamps or medicare , programs that actualy help people, but ignore the biggest parasites

They have to bail them out. I'm against it too but I understand that the aftermath of them going under would be devastating for the people

I think it's not really to bail out banks as much as to sheild the people from an economic armggedon

Wow, well don't hold any of that hatred back okay?

Republican or conservative philosophy of the poor are poor by their own dam faults is not reality. It allows them to feel superior at some level than the poor or poorer than themselves but it is not even close to reality.

The tax breaks are for working folks. Let me say that again in case you missed it, the tax breaks are for WORKING FOLKS. Working folks getting a tax break in no way looks, tastes or feels like "welfare".

If we want to talk about welfare lets talk about the republican welfare out of the Bush administration. He gave handouts to most Americans and then gave corporate welfare not once but twice, with his tax cuts and the bail out. Liberal republicans, you can't beat em with a stick. They love to hand it out.:wink: laugh

Ohhh...I thought SSI was federal. I don't know about tons. I know WIC, heat grant, electric grants.

My mom knows of all of the resources. Her work gives the info. out. Haha. I keep forgetting she just retired (70 y/o).

I know that the State here - Family Services - gives $80/week to those on disability. That's soooo much.

Our Governor cut back Medicaid and Food Stamps eligibility income to $400 a month. If you make over $400/mth. you can't get help. Funny thing, if you make over $400/mth., you're homeless. If you're homeless, you don't have an address to file with. It's really hurt people on disability. We can't wait to see him go.
