Why put them to work doing jobs normally done by govt union workers, like cleaning roadways, washing vehicles, and mowing?

There is a reason why I get SSI,well several reasons. Whenever rethugs fuck with social services medical assistance/ medicaid they fuck people least able to defend themselves over Everytime.

There should be a rule republicans cannot fuck around with our social safety net. All they want to do is loot and destroy it. Their wingnuts opinions about survival of the richest are driven by hate and greed.The republicans always move to damage social services so fuck them.
