Personally regardless of if i need the money or not i will stay busy till the day i am 6 ft under. I have seen too many people, hard working people retire with no plan but to relax... Dead within 6 months after they retire. They were not contributing to society anymore... So take a part time job, start a business, donate time and talents to charity.... Something to stay busy and contributing.
I'm with you. Contribution is good for everyone.

TARP was in 3 payments. 2 under Bush and he asked Obama if he wanted the third and Obama said YES.
Obama also voted FOR TARP.

Well you got that right. Who was it that destroyed the economy? The government or Wall St treating the stock market like one of Sheldon Adelson's casinos? Who is it that wants to end all public assistance to WORKING folks who are struggling to get by day to day? Yes it's one big Saul Alinsky plot to make more americans economically desperate.

What a bunch of maroons!

Ah yes...our wonderful Dear Marxist Leader on his way of destroying America!!!! I just luv all this Hope and Change....

People move in heards. You promote an entitlement mentality and people will behave in that manner. States get aid from the fed. Some, like NJ, Michigan, NYC are all basket cases. I would be good if other states start blocking their food to these good for nothing states. They don't deserve any help..

Are these the same poor, helpless people that could not get picture IDs for voting?

If they can't afford an ID then they pretty much can't afford anything and are dependent on the government to provide the necessities in life for as long as they live.

The only government program with a time limit is TANF; the rest are "forever".

how absurd! Yes, just block all food aid to folks and then they'll come to your house to eat.

You still haven't told me how you determine which people on food stamps are "really poor, needy" and those who are scamming the system. Do you have any numbers, or are you just going to continue to ignore the question?

p.s.
that's "herds" not "heards"....
