10 years without seriously being hurt or sick. Its not hard if you exercise and eat right and we'll if you have any common sense. I'm not going to bankrupt myself with an insurance I don't need or can't afford.
I wasn't aware that you could avoid getting things like cancer by eating right, exercising, and using common sense. Basically, your whole plan is not to get sick or injured. Good luck with that.
Medicare and social security programs are going bankrupt, I pay in to both and when I need them I won't be able to get any of the money back that I pay in to both programs if you think these programs are successful then ask someone who is living on 1000$ a month
No, they aren't. "The 2014 report of Medicare’s trustees finds that Medicare’s Hospital Insurance (HI) trust fund will remain solvent — that is, able to pay 100 percent of the costs of the hospital insurance coverage that Medicare provides — through 2030; at that point, the payroll taxes and other revenue deposited in the trust fund will still be sufficient to pay 85 percent of Medicare hospital insurance costs." http://www.cbpp.org/cms/?fa=view&id=3532 "Social Security's 2013 Trust Fund report projects that the combined retirement and disability fund will be exhausted in 2033; at that time, taxes collected from workers during that year are projected to cover just 77 percent of benefits due at that time. Under the law, if Congress doesn't agree on a plan of action to close the funding gap, benefits would need to be reduced so that taxes collected would equal benefits paid. Even in this worst-case scenario, however, retirees would still receive, on average, about 77 percent of the benefits they're expecting to get." http://www.cbsnews.com/news/could-socia ... -bankrupt/ Neither will go "bankrupt" and making sure both stay fully funded would be fairly easy. It simply requires political will. You also seem to have no clue what living without either program would be like. Among elderly Social Security beneficiaries, 52% of married couples and 74% of unmarried persons receive 50% or more of their income from Social Security. 50 million older Americans and Americans with disabilities rely on Medicare for health care. Successful? You bet they are. Without these two programs, millions of Americans would live in poverty and have no health care. You really don't seem to have a clue about much of anything nor do you seem to offer any alternatives. All you do is complain. If you don't think they're successful programs, what exactly do you propose to replace Medicare and SSI with? Do you think the private sector is going to magically start offering pensions and retirement benefits for everyone? By all means, how about you stop whining about everything and tell us all how you'd fix things. I'd love to hear all your wonderful ideas.
Ok my mother collects social security and get 685$ a month plus her retirement which is about 800$ tell me if you can pay a 1500$ house payment plus car insurance on her income alone Facts are the media will pick and choose what to report to make either side look good you want to know what really goes on look into it yourself Also a guy I work with his mother recieved 15$ a month in food stamps she's 85 years old so tell me how can someone who can not work survive on 15$ a month
No I'm against government programs that have too many regulations that a person can not get the help they deserve Welfare should be given to people trying to make a change and have a limit on how many years you can get that said help About 5 years a go there was a guy who had 10 kids and the government was paying him 128 thousand a year for him and them to live and he is a able body person
I hate all professional politicians. The only way to become a person of change is to become a shifty lying agent of sway. The ones that are capable get blackballed for not playing their game. It sucks. We are all doomed.
You really need to make up your mind. The regulations are there to prevent the abuse you keep complaining about. Furthermore, you have no clue how welfare works. TANF, also known as welfare, ALREADY has a limit on how many years you can collect it and there are limits as to how much you can collect regardless how many kids you have. It's been that way since the 90's. The time limits and amounts vary from state to state. Here's the requirements for Georgia. https://dfcs.dhs.georgia.gov/tanf-eligi ... quirements Here's the benefits: http://www.georgialegalaid.org/resource ... e-to-needy No one is making $128,000 a year on welfare and they weren't doing it 5 years ago either. The average monthly payment for a family of three in Georgia is $223, with the maximum a family receives set at $280. That's hardly living the good life on the tax payer's dime. Also all adult recipients have a work requirement, and are required to participate in work activities and training for at least 30 hours weekly. They can't just sit at home and collect a check. Stop believing all the stupid stuff you hear and start using the internet to actually learn how things work.
Only if people keep spending more time playing tap games and watching TV than they do learning how things really work. There's no excuse for being ignorant about issues when you have access to the internet. All the facts and figures are out there. You just have to look for them. If you don't educate yourself and make informed votes, then you really have no room to complain about how things are. They're that way because we, the people, let things get that way.
