LOL, there's no need for wishes like that. I don't like to get freebies, I was taught to work hard. Unfortunately there are companies out there who don't appreciate hard workers and promote mediocrity.

And my mom paid $10k/ month out of pocket while her roommate got a free ride on medicaid. We gave our sons the family home over 5 years ago now we just live there and pay the taxes. Medicaid can’t touch it.Just was able to get my mom into a nursing home with Medicaid. They ( Medicaid ) took pretty much every penny she had to her name. Now, they want to cut Medicaid

You obviously don't understand the pain of marriage. Trust me I've earned it, I deserve it, and I'm entitled to it.
ABOUT THOSE MEDICAID ‘CUTS:’ We’ve all heard a thousand times in the media in recent weeks all about how those evil House Republicans are going to destroy Medicaid by slashing $625 billion. As usual with the mainstream media when it comes to reporting on proposals to limit federal spending in any way, there’s a whole lot more to this story than is being reported, according to Issues & Insights (I&I).
“First, let’s dispense with the claim of ‘devastating’ cuts to Medicaid. The House reconciliation bill would reduce Medicaid spending by $625 billion. That might sound like a lot, but it’s stretched out over 10 years, at a time when Medicaid is on track to spend $8.6 trillion. Medicaid spending will still go up every year under the House bill, just a tiny bit more slowly,” according to I&I.
Second, there is a tax-and-spending scam whereby state governments can shift much of the costs of their official share of Medicaid spending back on to the shoulders of federal taxpayers. It’s such a scam that even Joe Biden called it that way back in 2011. Just fixing this regulatory scheme would save virtually of the money on which GOPers are focused.
Here is a chart that should scare everyone. This is not sustainable.

The issue is there are too many working age eligible people collecting money for nothing. That has to stop and I do support the work requirement. The issue is does the rest of uninformed America?
Great chart BTW and very telling. One question, why aren’t the republicans sharing this around??

The both sides are bad cover of the third team is not going anywhere.
Free stuff Army exists on both sides.
EBT crowd can't keep eating bad food and not exercising or working and expect everyone to pay for the bad health outcomes.
However the last vestige of American Freedom is sitting in your house and stuffing your face with something.
I will be happy when this program is gone, 100%

It`s just another shit system that the government made up so they can keep suckering people into voting for them to keep them in power. It just keeps them getting elected by stupid people who believe the government is the answer to their problems, and they get a free ride off the taxpayer`s backs in the mean time. Time to kick some fuggers off the teet.

Problem is too many people benefit from it or know someone that does so they won’t support getting rid of it.
The issue is there are too many able bodied people on it and the expansion is too far. I know a guy working full time for a small business and because the low number of employees there the company doesn’t have to offer health care. He goes through NYS market place and pays next to nothing for him and his wife and last I talked with him he thought it was nothing for his 4 kids. This is likely $1,000/month that we are paying for him. Great guy and hardworking but not sure we should all be paying his insurance every month for him.

There are things like unemployment and insurance that aren't freebies or handouts.
We've been paying for them for our entire adult lives, we *are* owed that money when circumstances change.
Don't mistake actual earned benefits for the freeloaders handouts.

That’s not the answer. The answer is to get rid of fraud, and double dippers. There are plenty of people not married living together and not reporting both incomes to get benefits. People do the same to get free college. Not many get checked ever.Maybe they shall raise the S.S. Age to 70.
People who can work should not be eligible unless there is some extreme hardship of some sort. People whose jobs offer health care should not be eligible for the market place. I know a guy who works full time and get health care through the marketplace because his employer employs less then 50 people. Why do I pay for his health care because he works for a small business?
All this needs to be digitized and cross checked for all this fraud and double dipping. They then need to be charged and a judgement against them to recoup the funds.
Why was I given Covid money for free meals for 2-3 years when I make $150,000 or so back then. I didn’t need it. It was nice to get some of my tax money back but I can buy my kids food and I don’t need the government to do that for me. Lots of this crap.

Maybe I should stop paying into a system that doesn't have plans to ever pay out for my generation. Kinda seems like theft for me.

Add fraud. I’m sure you get those letters every now and again saying that you are projected to get x amount in social security when you retire. To me that’s a contract.
