Comment on Maine is a national leader in welfare spending by George Stephanopoulos

George Stephanopoulos — Fri, 17 May 2013 16:42:41 +0000

I’m on welfare, ssdi & ssi medicaid medicare … Those programs did way better under Bush Cheney than Obama Biden.

Costs of living increases every year vs the 1 TIME Obama gave us an extra 20 bucks. I used to get $67 to $115 in food stamps than the $17 I’ve had for the past 4 years. My medical costs are divided between Medicare Medicaid & a private insurer but none of them pay for the specific meds that I take.

It was the Clinton era that bankrupted Medicare (they drained Social Security & Medicare to balance that budget Clinton is so proud of and ruined those programs). The Clinton era created “spend downs” before insurance would pay for ANYTHING and they got rid of General Assistance.

But people still think Democrats are friends of welfare?

What do voters think Obamacare is? Free Health Insurance? Far from it … It’s like the stupid HMO program all over again. Learn from history!!!

So I’m reading that Maine is the nation’s leader in Welfare spending. How so?

New York spends some 3 billion with 1 million people on welfare and California spends 1 billion on some 900,000 people on welfare. Because these STATES deal with the largest immigration count.

The programs available to immigrants provide them with houses, cars, cash, food & education … Why do immigrants get a better program than the people that already live here?

Comment on Enough is Enough: Mayors asked for funds to tear down fire hazards by Roger Gagne

I mostly agree with this article. The one issue I have is the Mayors putting the building issues only on the tenants. Your statement that ” This housing and a lot of the surrounding area was subsequently made uninhabitable by many of the government-subsidized families living there.” is very one sided. There are many slumlords in Lewiston that wont make any repairs unless code enforcement makes them do it and then they do the minimum. It is a problem caused by both bad tenants and slumlords. But you put it all on the tenants.
