Stupid? Really. You think it’s stupid to encourage able bodied people to work at least 20 hours a week instead of sponging off the g’ment?

Nobody sponges Medicaid from the government. How does that even work? There are no cash payments for Medicaid. You get nothing but your medical bills paid. There is no mooching because it doesn't even make sense.

Obamacare ran through Medicaid because it was an established program that could be easily ramped up. The entire Obamacare exercise depended on the premium support and Medicaid expansion. Without it, it might very well collapse and when it does it will be entirely the GOPs fault. You will get worse care for more money. Remember that. It will be your own damn fault.

Most people will be as lazy as you allow them to be. That's the what this all comes down to with any of the government handouts. The large majority of people acknowledge that there are people who legitimately need taxpayer help. The question is how you get those people help while keeping the free-loaders out.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who's stood in line behind the person paying for food with their SNAP card, talking on their brand new iPhone, dressed 10x better than me and then getting into a car significantly nicer than mine.
 
Yet, the welfare king tall tale is not how you first replied to my post about Reagan’s mythological welfare Queen…..you replied with an ostrich with its head in the sand.

Why the edit?

Why not lead with the welfare “king?”

I decided to be factual and decided against being snarky and insulting.

I DID lead with it, four posts above this one.

People like rich folks who should pay their fair share?

The problem is you are hurting the people who need this support so you can address this issue of "laziness".

Now I know where class system comes from.
