Re: Half of US households getting Guvmint benefits!
Sign Up the same way I did. Get your ass in the military, get three or more bilateral military connected injuries that have permanant issues, and you too can collect those oh so sweet gubmint benefits...or at least EARN them.
VA Pension, and yes, I am in a house that receives government benefits. VA Loan, VA Voc Rehab Stipend, VA Voc Rehab Tuition, and VA Voc Rehab School Supply Stipend to name a few. Pell Grant, and in a few dys, a part time job to fill in the other needs.
If we are to go broke over benefits, start by insuring each individual actually earns what they are receiving, give them a piss test to qualify at least bimonthly, and make sure they receive training to get back to work if they are able. If they are not able, they have families. Now if you claim benefits as a kid, well, I do believe Panty 6 sends No1 a monthly stipend or a quarterly stipend from our meager bank accounts too.
