The President's Speech

[Seascapes]

Pressing-On said,....My only opinion is that we have moved people into depending on a "handout" from the government instead of desiring to be self-sufficient and self-starters -that is the characteristic of a capitalist and not to be mistaken for crony capitalism, which has muddied the waters for sure.

My opinion is like yours in a way. I also believe that these programs are abused, and must be reformed to stop the abuse. The people that need these programs, and has paid into these programs in form of taxes, are not "handouts", such as Disability. No one is on disability without a medical decision from a doctor. Now Medicare is being abused from many companies, such as the motorized chair. This is costing Medicare, when people can replace their motorized chair after 5 years, even if the first one they got is like brand new, and being told to give it to someone else if they didn't want the old one. Just to sell another motorized chair.

Medicaid should not keep paying for illegitimate babies, and food card should not be given to anyone without a drug test once a month at least. These people living in government housing, and paying cheaper rent should also undergo drug testing.
I vote for these benefits, because I know there are more that does not abuse the government programs, these people really need help. Where there are 10 that abuse, there are 90 that don't.
