(62,325 posts)compared to all those actual Welfare Queens mentioned in the OP, and you have decided that the poor should never be helped?
That sure is some critical thinking. I never judge policy based on a personal situation. Don't know many people who do.
But if, rather than going with facts, we are to base policy on personal anecdotes, I could give you ten of my own which more than cancel out yours. But since personal anecdotes cannot be verified we generally do not use them here. They generally get as much credibility as they are worth.
I am looking at charts, and there so many of them, where I see this country spending more than all the other countries in the world COMBINED and more than any in the history of the world, on the MIC and still we are told, 'we are not safe'. So since this outrageous amount of money is not making us safe, what is the justification for it at this point?
Trillions of dollars, and still we are not safe. But the real Welfare Queens are getting richer and richer without any requirement it appears, to make this country safe.
But you're worried about one guy who might be getting what is pocket change to the MIC without deserving it.
Strange priorities imho.
