Yes, TAXPAYERS should be the recipients EXCLUSIVELY. My childhood friend up on Bainbridge Island (WA) who has lived in gubmint-subsidized housing for most of her adult life, drawing disability SSI because she is...too depressed? I dunno ...anyway, she sees Trump's administration as the 4th Reich. And of course, you know what that makes Trump...🙄🙄🙄 BUT SHE SHOULD NEVER EVER get a rebate!!!! 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Apparently the Island is so popular now, the gridlock from the Ferry traffic is horrendous. Pave Paradise....put up a parking lot. 😥

I absolutely agree. I'm on SSI due to a medical disability, but by no means do I think that I am entitled to $5K of the taxpayers money. I'm just grateful that my small stipend doesn't get taxed. 😅

🥰 Not trying to bash anyone in your situation...but it galls me when my ultra lib pal continues to tell me the work the DOGE boys are doing is so wrong...but she has hardly ever held a job her whole life. 😢

I didn't think you were bashing anyone at all! I'm with you, I think there are people on welfare and SSI that shouldn't be. For my part, I'd give anything to be able to work, I have an advanced degree that I'm too exhausted to use. Have been working with alternative health practitioners for over 10 years trying to get better (after the Allopathic doctors blew me off), but 50% better than bedridden still isn't enough to hold down even a part-time job, sadly. Obviously, I still feel guilty about having to be on the dole. But I'm grateful to have it, so I'm not a complete burden on my family.
