Have you seen what it takes to lose ones welfare? Work a few hours over the allotted amount and they have to pay it back, along with possibly losing it, altogether. Too bad people don't think about what it cost to have children and can they afford it........is this too much to ask of people?


When one accepts welfare, it is they who are choosing to allow the government to own them.

I don't believe welfare should be everlasting. It's supposed to be a band aid, not a lifestyle.

Because they only want to help the rich get richer. Now it's come back to bite them and they don't know what to do about it. Seems like the ignorant ones didn't think it through.

...Freedom of Speech is no more, or Freedom of Assembly. And yest - I fully realize those apply to Government actions - but when the government sits back and lets this happen, what is the difference?

The Second Amendment is the only thing still standing between civilization and anarchy.




Not protesters but rather rioters......


...and some of them paid.

Good news then! Clinton made it end after 5 years.

And did so over a decade ago.
