I'm very comfortable with able bodied people who refuse to work starving.

Again 92% of people on Medicaid already work. In that other 8% you have people on  baby Medicaid (no work requirement), people that are on Social Security Disability (no work requirement) and people living in nursing homes (no work requirement).

 

You are complaining about a problem that doesn't exist to justify cutting benefits from the working poor which includes a significant number of MAGA voters in red states. 


  And you are complaining about efforts to remove freeloaders who REFUSE to work and live off the sweat of tax payers.

Mark just told you that the so-called trillions of "freeloaders" are nothing but an idiot MAGA fantasy.

 

Stupid Millerscum.

Ebenezer Scrooze in A Christmas Carol, replying to men collecting to provide a Christmas meal for the poor in 19th century London.   Scrooge asks "Are there no prisons?  Are there no workhouses?" 

 

Charles Dickens' novella "a work of social commentary" first published in 1843.  Dickens' family experienced debtors prison in his youth, thus his focus on the "underserved" in his writings [some would say 'undeserving'].

 

From then to now this is debated:  who, if anyone (and how much), should give of their own resources to help those who aren't self-sustaining for whatever reason.

And of course, the standard justification for being selfish and uncharitable is that the person's who would be aided a) don't really need it or b) don't deserve it (by whatever metric). We're hearing that now from MAGA. Their current lie is the billions of hale and hearty 25 year olds sitting in their mom's basement and playing video games. And yeah sure, sucking up quintillions of dollars in Medicaid assistance. Because healthy 25 year olds consume SO much medical care.

 

So why does MAGA flog that idiotic propaganda? To distract us from considering the millions of truly needy people who will be deprived of medical care. They will sicken and die. AND SO WILL THEIR CHILDREN. Jesus Christ, is MAGA so cruel that they're just fine with that?

 

And as far as "deserve" goes...if you're human, you deserve medical care. Period. And yes, I will gladly contribute, because I'm a human being and a member of society (MAGAs are neither).

8m adults have dropped out of the work force.  Who is paying for them?

 

An example from Newsweek

 

American men are opting out of the workforce at unforeseen rates. For many, it's not an issue of not being able to find a job. They have simply opted out altogether. The Bureau of Labor Statistics found only 89 percent of working age men have a job or are actively looking for work. In 1950, that number was at 97 percent. While the early 1950s saw around 96 percent of working age American men between the ages of 25 and 54 working full or part-time jobs, that proportion has now moved to just 86 percent, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Not related at all. You can find a lot of those men, neets is the correct term, at 4chan and other similar places.  Check it out there is a vast online community of people that voluntarily dropped out of the workforce to persue other interests which typically include video games and MAGA politics. These folks aren't on Medicaid.

Bull shit on the 90% of freeloaders work.  Working 10 hours a year isn't working.  Kevin already told us he supports able bodied non-working slugs getting free insurance

How does mark know this?  Who is supporting them?  What makes him think they are conservative?

I read their posts. I come

across a lot of neets in my job. They apply, interview and never take a job. Typically they still live with their parents and their parents support them.

    What Mark says here sounds like the DemocRAT way  -  "I read their posts. I come across a lot of neets in my job. They apply, interview and never take a job. Typically they still live with their parents and their parents support them."

They produce nothing and they expect and demand free shit.  Many of our Liberals think that this is wonderful.  It's ludicrous.
