"Let them starve in the street"
So says an 80-year-old women going on about welfare on CSPAN this morning.
"Take everyone of welfare and make them go out and work."

She said they "breed" like dogs and they're just too lazy to get jobs. Says her, "God said if you don't work, you don't each"

Host pointed out she received Social Security. And then she continued on with her tirade about "gimme, gimme, gimmes." :eyes:

Do we actually share a country with these people?

2. Clearly a fine upstanding member of the RW...
and I don't remember God saying any such thing, but I'll ask later today just to make sure. We can thank Reagan and his Welfare Queen bs for this kind of attitude. Wonder if the person in the interview contributed to the current gene pool. One can always hope not.

3. I wonder if she has read the Bible at all?
Bet she made Jesus cry.
