Coming from people that have never applied. I did, and guess what….. I made too much. That was when I was making 20$ an hour and had a family of 5. Times were rough.

I applied and they also told me I made too much. I was on short term disability for a year after a near fatal car crash. My monthly pay was reduced to ~60% of my normal pay and I still had regular bills to on top of health insurance so I could continue going to the doctor for surgeries (thanks stupid US health insurance). They wanted me to reduce my monthly disability so I would qualify.

So twice a week, I stood in line at a church that gave out free food with metal in my back and a piss bag strapped to my leg for my failing kidney.

Fuck Stephen Miller and his little rat faced shit for brains (no offense to rats, they are actually pretty cute).

lol what a dick. he knows damn well that what little remains of US social safety nets requires ludicrous means testing and ages for approval.

these guys truly are a death cult, it’s grotesque. US starving Cubans, murdering our own citizens in the streets, while providing cover for Israel bombing and torturing all their neighbors…wonder how all this is going to end.

Plenty of money for Trump to spend six trillion a year tho. It's great to see Republicans caring about spending.

You can tell he's never been through the process

The guy who (from online stories) rushed out during a women's foot race during the last stretch to show men are better? If I recall that was him in high school.

Also thought it was a good idea to show up on tv with spray hair in Trump's first term. It'd be funnier if he wasn't basically Himmler or whichever relevant Nazi.

if you know someone who believes this, challenge them to apply for it themselves to show you how easy it is. its the only way to convince some of these morons that they are being lied to
