My family needed food stamps once, & I was deeply ashamed

It seems like a million years ago, I'm 61, and I think I was around 40 when I lost the ability to walk, and had to use a wheelchair, 20 years now, I had polio when I was 2 years old.

So I had a wife and 3 kids to house and feed and support, and could no longer do it. My wife was the only one who could work, we were evicted from our apt. and we had to live with friends and relatives for 9 months till I found a job.

It got so bad, we had to go on welfare, and we had to live on food stamps, and I was deeply, deeply ashamed of being such a loser that I couldn't even put food on our table, and I had to go begging at Family Services, which was a really humiliating experience, so much paperwork, so much red tape and so much waiting.

I'd become severely depressed about just being on welfare and food stamps, and I was ashamed to look into the faces of my wife and kids, and I've never been lower in my life, never more ashamed of myself.

But I shouldn't have been. Thats what that money is there for, thats what food stamps are for and if we hadn't had it, we'd have literally been begging for scraps, thank God we had a few friends and relatives to help us through.

It was so humbling, I still haven't quite gotten over it, I still have nightmares about it, and being homeless again to this day. It was truly awful for my psyche and my feelings of self worth, it made me feel like half a man, or even no man at all.

As soon as I was able to find a sit down job, we dropped the food stamps and welfare checks and we struggled out of our shitty situation, but my soul and my pride took a real hit, and I NEVER enjoyed paying for food with stamps and I NEVER considered taking advantage of the welfare system and I never tried to be a lazy man unwilling to work, or a layabout living high on the hog on the government teat.

Sometimes I have daydreams about that old t.v. show, 'The Twilight Zone', and I imagine mitt romney turning around and suddenly finding himself in my situation 20 years ago, and SEE HOW HE ****ING LIKES IT. To experience homelessness, to face your children and feel ashamed, to have no where to go and no hope and just SEE HOW HE ****ING LIKES IT.

This pompous, arrogant son of a bitch really pissed me off with his dismissal of the American poor and struggling, his words about people LIKE ME angered me to my very core, and I can't let a son of a bitch like this get into my White House.

I can't get to the polls, I'm voting from home, absentee ballot, so YOU GET TO THE POLLS FOR ME, and for the rest of us losers out here in flyover land. **** YOU romney, YOU RIDICULOUS, INHUMAN SWINE. Hurry up and drop out of my life and don't ever ****ing threaten me or insult me again you heartless prick son of a bitch.

Well now, MoPaul has to sit back, take a deep breath, and relax.

Nobody's in favor of cutting off short-term temporary assistance.

It's a reasonably large campfire, but other than the CalPig primitive, the rest are lumpenunterprimitien, the faceless lynch mob, who don't count.

My dad had polio when he was a child, he was in the hospital for a year, had a tracheotomy and he was read his last rights.  He is 72 and still working (it's not a desk job either).

Romney wasn't talking about the people who are really struggling and you know it DUmmie, he was talking about the people who would rather be on welfare than take a job.  How do you explain generational welfare?  Why are so many people on welfare for most of their life (I'm not talking about truly disabled people).  There is a victim mentality out there, your side has cultivated it. It is a form of abuse, you make people feel like they can't do better, be it through the soft bigotry of low expectations or the normalizing of being on welfare. Your side needs victims, otherwise your masters would be out of a job.

mopaul claims he was embarrassed to have to use the system, says he's glad the system is there, and then gets angry with the very people who contributed the most money into that very system.  Talk about biting the hand that feed you.....

I think I was around 40

A life altering experience and he can't remember exactly when it happened?

It seems like a well thought out tale of tragedy and woe, but I suspect not one based on actual events.  Just my 2 cents.

It's nothing to be ashamed off having to go on some sort of temporary public assistance when times get tough.

The thing about the DUmmies and their ilk is that they make it a career choice with their kids following them into the family business.

AWWWRIGHT! :runaway:
One in a million years a DUmmie says something portentous.  Since it's likely to be a long time, I've thoughtfully encapsulated the pertinent buried nugget for posterity:

 we'd have literally been begging for scraps, thank God we had a few friends and relatives to help us through

Well, okay, you poor smuck, you, first off you gave thanks to a higher Power, compounded by the crime of acknowleging there is something out there more capable than the government to help out the down on their luck.

BTW, ever pay it forward?

What kind of family and friends did he have that allowed this ? His hate is misplaced.

I really, really hope all this DUmmy mopaul story is true.

It's almost surely a complete lie, but it'd be great if it were true.

I just love to hear about a DUmpmonkey suffering like that!

It is so richly deserved.

What would be really pathetic is that the story is true and it wasn't enough hardship for him to make a change in his lifestyle and beliefs.

Liberalism/Marxism/democrat policies do not work, and yet they blame other for their failures.

They all shop from the dumpster for Christmas anyway.  The candied orange peels, the pickled apple cores, and the milk carton dustpans are favorites.

I am not ashamed to say that when I was 20, pregnant, and separated from my husband (we got back together before my son was born) I was on Medicaid and WIC. When my son turned a year old, my husband had gotten a good job; and I no longer needed assistance. I told my caseworker that I no longer wanted/needed WIC and Medicaid, and she tried her damnedest to get me to come in and "make sure". I told her "No thanks".

I was glad it was there when I needed it; but I never intended to stay on it longer than I absolutely had to. I don't have a problem with the safety net...it's when the safety net becomes a comfortable couch that I start having problems with it.
