Is your MNL really receiving her own as well as her husbands surviver benefits? My mother could only chose between the two. She gave up her own SSI and only recieves surviver benefits. Are you going to take her in if she quits accepting benefits?Originally Posted by cbc58

You are teaching your kids how to not work and be on welfare? Or am I misreading this?

yes she is - not sure why but she gets both or a portion thereof. we would take her in if she wanted - most other family members also would take her in.
No, he doesn't give back part of his salary. He gave back part of his expense account for offices, staffers, etc.
No, no and no.Is anyone here receiving a govt. pension, social security or support payments from govt?
Government employees used to have lower pay, but the best benefits and retirement. Now they often have the best pay too (for an average worker, white or blue collar). In the competition for workers, the government is winning. Thus they are taking many of the best out of the private sector. And we wonder why the private sector has problems...
Of course that generalization excludes many exceptional jobs in the private sector, which can lead to exaggerated wealth. Entertainment, sports and Wall St being examples where people can make extraordinary money (with the additional caveat that Wall St is often siphoning from government too).

I'm on SSDI, food stamps, unemployment and medicaid.
are you serious?
The quicker I can suck the federal government dry the sooner the Confederacy can rise once again!
PS: No, I'm not serious about receiving 'benefits'
No , he is not serious .
If the government ever wanted to give me some kind of handout or benefit, I would definitely take it. What I would never do is to become dependent on the government as long as I am in good health. My financial independence is one of the most important things to me.
