We’ve always had patriots here who have temporarily needed help. They used programs responsibly and got back on their feet, nothing shameful about that.
And some who need lifelong help. My parents (in their 70s) are lifelong conservatives and are on all of the government programs, disability, social security, Section 8, food stamps, etc (and have been for about 40 years). The reason is that my father is partially paralyzed due to having had a bunch of strokes (he had his first stroke at age 12), and my mother has to stay home to take care of him (and isn't in such great health herself).
There are also veterans on EBT because they got permanently disabled in the line of duty. Yes, there are a lot of people who abuse the system, like the ones who have a bunch of children out of wedlock to increase the amount of EBT money they get, but not everyone on EBT is doing it to game the system. Some of them genuinely need it.
Very true. I'm sorry about your parents. I'm also sorry with how so many of our fellow anons are demonizing people who need that help.
Yes, there are many people who abuse the system. But not everyone who is on assistance abuses it and not everyone who abuses it are democrats/liberals/illegals.
