steal social security numbers, use welfare to bankrupt the state even more?
How excited California must be, but look at the bright side, while your government may go bankrupt and taxes sky rocket atleast you save a buck or two on gardening. Sure it will cost you more then you save but look at all the awesome shootings you get to see.
Have fun California.
You don’t understand, we’re living paycheck to paycheck as it is. We do not own a home. We have no assets to seize.
(if you’d like more details on my situation, read my last ?)
If the insurance co. wins this lawsuit against us, we are so screwed. If they garnish my partner’s wages, we’ll be homeless. We have two children to support as well. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
Oh yeah. If we did file BK, do we do it now, or wait until the suit is over?
fine, ill just pay on ,000 the rest of my life, get on welfare, and live in a shack!
i hate the way this country is run…
Please read all of the following to understand my concern before responding.
Saying up front, I’m not a lefty or a righty. I want the best person for the job at whatever level in politics. So, I’ve been getting started on my research. While making dinner last night, I heard something disturbing on TV. The subject was about how Newt Gingrich went against his party and his quote about “right wing social engineering” or something like that. Then a picture of a Republican who was head of something, I didn’t catch it, followed by an audio of him saying “….Medicare as we know it has to change or it will go bankrupt by 2024.” Later, I went on the Internet for info on this issue and became acquainted with the terms “right” and “entitlement”, as they relate to these issues. “Entitlement” was used in the same context as welfare or a gift. Then I began to consider these facts:
1)My sister, who is retired and disabled, worked for over 30 years and paid into Medicare via mandatory FICA deductions
2)I worked for over 30 years and did the same
3)Neither my sister nor I were given a choice. We were forced to pay.
4)Just because the Republicans say Medicare will go bankrupt by 2024, does that make it so?
I then read that Republicans think that what my sister and I were forced by the government to pay into for over 30 years, with a promise that we’ll be covered after age 65, is NOW somehow the equivalent of us asking for welfare? They want to change it later so that my sister and I will get a “voucher” to go buy our own insurance from the insurance company of our choice, but we won’t be able to afford the difference between what the voucher allows us and what the insurance company will charge for the same coverage. Seems to me, we should be guaranteed the same or better coverage for no additional financial burden on us, since the government made us pay for 30 years without asking us if we want to or not.
On the other hand, I’m reading that the Democrats are saying no to Republicans on changing Medicare, saying to the people, “You have worked and paid into it, you deserve it, and you will continue to receive it.”
If the above is true, then label me what you want: liberal, lefty, whatever. I’m about fairness. In this issue, if the Republicans, or “conservatives”, were successful in this, then for me, the “conservatives” would be bullies, and the “liberals” would be their victims. The fox was allowed into the chicken coup by dropping regulations for Wall Street, corporations, and the banking industry. Greed ran rampant and unchecked, creating an economic crisis. The American people as a whole already bailed out banks and corporations. Now they want to rape Medicare, and senior citizens, to make them all richer. How low down and dirty is that? Do you think this is right or fair?
@John: Given what I wrote above then reading your "contribution", I was about to call you an @$$ Hole of the highest order. Then I realized you’re just jealous, bitter, and ignorant, and you deserve my pity.
Red China and the Saudis?
How is this going to help our economy one bit? How can this do anything but further bankrupt the Federal treasury so we can’t even pay to protect our own soil?
Wouldn’t even welfare be a better way to stimulate our economy? At least most of that would be spent on good made in this country – like food, etc.
My point is most people are going to use that money to buy cheap foreign crap, made by Communist dictators! Or to put gas in enormous cars and that money gets to terrorists one way or another.
I don’t know why, but I am very very racist person. I hate Black people and mexicans. I don’t consider them as equal to white people. I believe white people are far more superior than them. After all, without the U.S, Africa would go bankrupt. And if you think about it, every country that consisted of white people pretty much had slavery. Why you ask? Because we were smart enough to capture and force them to do work for us. And mexicans just hop the border and demand health care and welfare because they are to stupid and lazy to get real jobs. After all, without mexicans who would run Mc Donald’s? Those are my racist thoughts. How do I stop being racist? I don’t very much like it. I just can’t help it. Most of my family is racist. For some reason, I consider blacks, mexicans, indians, arabs, etc… Nothing but annoying little pests. Like bugs who need to be squashed.
lol, you people really need to calm down. This question was only to find out how people felt about racism. Im not really racist. I know many black people and am freinds with a quit a few of them.
I recently had a bad accident that resulted in a head injury, broken neck, and a whole lot of medical bills/hospital bills building up. I am 18, pretty much immobile (can’t even take a shower all by myself) I can only do car trips if it’s for medical appointments, so I don’t have a job I don’t see me physically being able to do that any time soon so I can pay my med bills. They want to do a very expensive head/neck surgery on me soon and I can’t afford it/co pay/ hopsital bills etc. I am not going to be insured in another month, and my parents cannot loan me money to pay my bills. So should I file for medical bankruptcy, welfare, anything at 18? I don’t know how this works but I need to find a way to take care of these bills. Sincere advice please. Thank u for your time, God bless.
not auto. Completely my fault I fell from a few stories and landed on my head resulting in my skull crushing C1/c2 and some nerve damage.
seems likes everyone is on some sort of welfare or government program due to the economy.
surely it cant last forever.
If the family is on welfare (government-assisted apartments & food stamps) but has much unpaid medical bills? Husband has only VA insurance but apparently they won’t pay much of the bill because he reported it past 90 days (or something close to that). Not sure what bankruptcy entails but I know it means "start from scratch" but we also don’t have anything to give….so can a person on welfare file?
