This is it!

"Government assistance" is funded by "us" workers.

I don't think the OP and too many others....they don't get that

Then they should pay her.

Agree with the other posters. Money for social welfare programs doesn't grow on trees

From the USDA website:

USDA ERS - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): Economic Linkages

For every $5 the government spends on Food Stamps it generates $9 in economic growth.

^^^ Lol I don't think we're dim enough to not see through the game.
Nobody's taking the bait-
Although I will say I'd bet that troll is a welfare leech as well

Don't know where you are getting that from but the deficit is slowing under Obama ( don't confuse it with the Debt!).
As for ObamaCare it's still in the hands of greedy Insurance Companies and what ObamaCare has done is get rid of "pre-existing" Conditions, let children stay under their parents Health Insurance until age 26 and signed up Millions into Medicaid Expansion across the country which Florida with Governor Skeletor has chosen not to do and leave 800,000 poor Floridians who Qualify for Medicaid off the rolls.

True ObamaCare would have been a Single Payor System like Medicaid which works well. Maybe one day the US will join the rest of the Industrial Civilized world with such a program.

And there is no such thing as widespread fraud and abuse of either Medicare or Medicaid, and the guv'mint, which has only the concern for the welfare and wellbeing of all its citizenry on its collective mind, is the bastion of efficiency in everything it does.

And pigs fly.
