I've always believed in judging a society by how it treats its least fortunate...that's why I believe in programs like Food Stamps, Section 8, Unemployment Insurance, and a MW you can at least live on.

these aren't teens, and many have kids.

I'm aware of that, as indicated by my preface, "if you're over 40".

Contrary to whatever you might believe, you are not more compassionate than I am. You can't get around what I said by suggesting otherwise.

I never said that. Moreover, I don't know you and wouldn't jump to that conclusion.

So, you stifle recovery, then blame Barry. Very convenient. Also typically dishonest. many of you would make excellent politicians.

Hey clueless. ....

Take a wild guess how many shovel ready infrastructure dollars were spent out of the stimulus.
