Repugs are pinching off sources of income


They've ruined the job market, can't work to make money, can hardly work to keep food on the table. Military families qualify for food stamps, but the food stamp program is gutted. They limited unemployment. Going after SS and SSDI. The repugs want their rich supporters to be the only people getting money. They think that churches and charities will take care of all the people who can no longer take care of themselves. What's going to happen when the churches and charities realize that taking care of the millions of poor is draining all of their resources?

After this latest plot to destroy SS, SSDI, I just don't think the right wants anyone to have anything, even the basics to stay alive. They are like the alien in Independence Day, just want us to die...

Either a mole or a new DUmmie looking for street cred.

One suspects the primitives get all of their information about what Republicans are going to do, from the panic-mongering, rabble-rousing TheMastersNumbskull, rather than from Republicans.

I'm surprised Pork Chops hasn't showed up at that thread yet, but I'm sure he will.

It is typical leftist garbage.
They are trying (as I understand it) to tighten the amount of money bled off SS into SSDI,the DUmps gravy train goal.

In protest but explains to some extent.
Typical leftist screaming for more and more money with no way to actually fund it.

Aha.

So the plan--which Republicans want to stop--is to transfer funds from Social Security Retirement, into which people have paid, giving the money to SSDI, in which recipients hadn't ever contributed a damned dime.  The goal being to keep SSDI afloat.

In other words, rob the old, give to the lazy.

From your link, even a left-wing organization named for Eleanor Roosevelt's against it (the transfer of funds). 

This is Eleanor Roosevelt we're talking about here; how can the primitives protest?

No,they are opposing stopping it,they want the money to flow with no provision to cover it.

Quote
I am writing on behalf of the millions of members and supporters of the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare to oppose Subsection (q) of Section 3 of House Resolution 5, a resolution adopting rules for the House of Representatives for the 114th Congress.

This resolution creates a point of order against legislation to reallocate funds from the Social Security Old Age and Survivors Insurance (OASI) Trust Fund to the Disability Insurance Trust Fund unless it is accompanied by benefit cuts or tax increases that improve the solvency of the combined trust funds. The Disability Trust fund will run short of revenue to pay full benefits some time in 2016, potentially putting 11 million disability beneficiaries at risk. This provision would make it more difficult to simply rebalance the two funds as has been successfully done 11 times in the past (reallocations have been made in each direction between the two funds) – forcing benefit cuts or tax increases to the Social Security program.

SSDI is over a cliff and they want the money transferred from the "retirement" portion that we pay into.

...and the democrat solution when both funds are busted will be .....wait for it..... tax the rich until they all look like holocaust survivors.

Most of the rich are Joooooos, you know, so they should get used to starvation.[DU/mode]

I stand corrected, sir, about the Eleanor Roosevelt organization.

Thank you.

I always wondered why the "Disability Insurance Trust Fund " wasn't a completely separate program and funded separately. The word "insurance" of course is a bastardization in this context.

OMG Turdhead! those are not sources of income!!! that's welfare!  I define a source of income where you work for your money either through employment or self employment.  Sitting on your ass collecting a check from the working taxpayers is not income and it's shameful you feel it is! Asshole. :bird:

I have seen several explanations of why the government wanted to do direct deposit but the biggest one was probably so healthy DUmmies wouldn't be embarrassed cashing/depositing their government freebie checks. I expect the government to soon drop the EBT cards and just pass out your standard credit cards or bank draft cards.

No dumbass. The GOP is pinching off YOUR source of income and that is why you are upset about it. Now you might have to *gasp* get a job and work for a living like us idiots that pay for your lazy, scamming ass.

Like J P Sousa before me, I got a good chuckle from that one.

Food stamp program is gutted ?
Am I reading that right ?
Last I heard the food stamp program is at record highs with plenty of fraud waste and abuse to boot.

7. No, I know what's happening

Just putting it into words. I am angry because they are going after SS and SSDI. AGAIN. How is this country supposed to get anything done when we the people are reduced to constantly worrying about how we're going to live?

 :lmao:  This retard makes it sound like every single person in the country relies on welfare crumbs.  No, idiot, the people who "get anything done" are standing on their own two feet, and they know exactly how they're going to eat from day to day. 

It's a pretty funny thread.  They're all like "WE'RE GONNA DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!"

I do occasionally worry about SS, but basically just figure there will be nothing there by the time I could collect (and really regret the way my kids will be ripped off if there is...)

I manage to "get things done" by working all day, then working all evening.  LOL  It doesn't require any money from SS, SSDI, or any other government agency, but it really hurts when I look at how much goes to those agencies.  In fact, we pay something like 3 times our house payment in payroll taxes every month.

She doesn't sound uneducated and she's presentable from the neck up.  She should have a job.  Hell, get a job on webcam but get a damn job!  How anyone could want to live on such a non existent allowance just shows what she thinks of herself.

but she did have a phone didn't she?

^Tattoos, jewelry, and a hairstyist.
She didn't do her own hair.
I know some women will say jewelry and hairstyling are necessities, but I am amazed at how much money those on welfare have for luxuries.

And yet, when 0bama took office they had a veto proof majority in both houses. They easily could've passed legislation making it difficult to reduce funding (or reduce the increase they want) welfare programs, increase military salaries to at least parallel other government workers and increase welfare funding for those who've had their jobs "taken" by Republicans so that the jobless can still live a middle class lifestyle. But they never think about this. It's not like their leaders give a flying **** about what the majority of the country thinks. They had no qualms about passing 0bamacare.
