No, they are there for times like these. You’ll get back on your feet and not need them soon enough.

Absolutely not. That’s what the programs are there for. It’s the lazy POSes that can work but choose not to and leach off the program that are the problem. Use it while you need it, recover, and then go back to work. The way it should be. Prayers be with you while you attempt to heal.

You don’t suck but your situation does. The people that suck are the ones capable of working but choose to live off the government.

Keep your head up.

That is why it is there. For people in real need. You are in genuine need of help. Prayers said for you and family for a speedy recovery! God bless.

No one here has a problem who genuinely needs help man. It’s giving money to undeserving people that gets hardworking citizens all wound up. Hope you get better soon!

You are who food stamps are meant for. Government assistance should be a bridge, not a parking lot. Good luck with you surgery.

Hell no man. I guarantee that you've paid into the system more than you'll get the opportunity to use it. Keep your head up. Government assistance is there for situations like this. They're just giving you back a fraction of the money you've loaned (they stole) through the years

Food stamps are trashy.

Seriously, that's what all the taxes you paid in the past are for.

Absolutely not. IMO this is why the social network was set up in the first place......to help folks like you. You have nothing to feel ashamed about. Unfortunately the circumstances of you illness has prevented you from working. I'm really am sorry to hear of your misfortune. I live with the threat of stroke all the time. It's no picnic let me tell ya.

Having said that please know that I pray for you, your kids, and your family. Keep the faith!

I tried but the dr won’t release me. I had surgery at the start of this month to correct the problem and they couldn’t do it. I go next week to Birmingham so another dr can give it a shot.

no

even most hardcore libertarians like myself believe that a short-term assistance program isn't a bad thing

There is nothing wrong about your getting the help you need. These programs are in place for the reason you need help. I hope you are well soon. Bless you.

Anyone care to set up a Go Fund Me so we can help out? I’m in.
