In reply to the discussion: Rick Santorum, you are a cruel, insensitive SOB [View all]Smilo
(1,944 posts)40. My dad was severely disabled....
my mum couldn't work because she had to look after him and 8 children. Without welfare we could not have existed . My parents did what they could, through no fault of their own they found themselves desperate and needy - but today, we are all grown and have all become good contributing members of society with good jobs and the knowledge that we have much to be grateful for. We don't take things for granted and we give back when we can. Santorum is no Christian, nor is he humane, heck I hardly think he is human to make comments about things that affect others and which he really has no experience of.
