Heard a segment on our local 6 PM news station that the Government is supplying free cell phones to those who can't afford to pay for it themselves. What's next free Plasma TV"s and free cable service? Don't know about you but I'm tired of providing these Slugs with free everything. Why don't they get a job and pay for it themselves just like we do. The closer this country moves toward Socialism the more absurd it gets.
I can understand food stamps but not cell phones. Cell phones are not a necessity. I still do not believe we are heading toward Socialism though not any moreso than the last administration. Health care must be addressed.Quote:

No proposal supported by either party supports health care for illegal aliens. Neither do I. The cell phone story sounds very fishy. What network are you listening to---FOX?Quote:

You know what bothered me the most about that article? Both of the examples that they used were people on disability due to emphysema.Quote:

They have been sufficiently warned and therefore, the taxpayers should bear no responsibility for their idiotic choices.
