And what about the folks that rely on SS checks?
Won't they become homeless as well?
Soldiers have children too, don't their lives mean anything to Obama?

Why not just crash the whole American economy?
B/c that's what you are talking about when you talk about suddenly cutting off ss, or welfare, or even just food stamps.

Most of the people who collect SS, welfare and food stamps are lazy obese bums. I might be more sympathetic but every-time I go to the store(work 3rd) there are ton's of lazy bums who should be working, just loafing around consuming.

They just might cut off welfare. Michigan has finally taken a step in the right direction, by cutting off welfare recipients after being on it for 4 years.
More than 12,600 welfare recipients and their children will lose monthly checks averaging $511 effective Oct. 1. The Senate passed a House bill today that imposes a strict 48-month time limit on benefits There is no grandfather clause in the measure, approved 24-12, which tightens the original 2006 benefits cap that allowed for benefit extensions if the recipient was in job training or unable to work. That means most recipients who are or will be past 48 months on Oct. 1 will be cut off. Gov. Rick Snyder supports the bill that would save some $77 million. Recipients could no longer apply to the Department of Human Services for an extension beyond the 48 months. Nor could DHS make allowances for those it determines should be exempt from work requirements. The Senate did add language that allows benefit extensions for those caring for a disabled spouse or child. Rep. Ken Horn, R-Frankenmuth, the bill sponsor, said welfare should be a safety net and not a "lifestyle."

.....Guess who makes up more than half of my calls? The Jewish population. I get calls daily from couples who are roughly my age (28), give or take a few years who already have a brood of children. They are married at 18/19 and immediately start a family. I was very shocked. what was also shocking was how many are receiving welfare, yet leave the country for months at a time to go to Israel.......
.....All I see here anymore is elitist dirt bags complaining about poor people and "welfare" and nary a word about the trillions upon trillions stolen from you through the Federal Reserve system, through war profiteering, through the prison industry and security industry and military industry complex, through the insurance industries, through political corruption.....
I was just wondering if anyone knew anyone that collected more in welfare benefits last year than say Exxon. You know since we are bashing welfare recipients. I know how much the oil companies got but I do not know any person or family that comes close to that. Any one?
....Barack Obama has reshuffled his staff....
....as head of the National Economic Council, Obama brought in Gene Sperling, who held the same position in the Clinton administration. ... the president brought in the former mayor's brother, William Daley, a former Clinton administration official and banker. And to top it off, General Electric CEO Jeffery Immelt was tapped to lead a newly created Council on Jobs and Competitiveness.
.....in the 1990s Sperling worked behind the scenes to secure the passage of the North American Free Trade Agreement.
"He supported fundamentals of the Clinton administration policies which were really wrongheaded," Dean Baker, co-director of the liberal Center for Economic and Policy Research,...
By the time Sperling.. [worked]on China’s entry into the World Trade Organization, an event which caused millions of manufacturing jobs in U.S. to be permanently lost.
Sperling also played a major role in repealing the Glass-Steagall Act, which separated commercial and investment banking. Many observers credit the act’s repeal with causing the financial crisis that brought the economy to its knees.
Daley too was instrumental in the passage of NAFTA and China’s entry into the WTO. During the debate over NAFTA, he served as a special council to the president. His only responsibility during that time was ensuring that the trade deal passed.
After delivering the trade pact that cost America 20 percent of its manufacturing jobs in just 14 years, Daley moved on to serve as Clinton’s Commerce Secretary from 1997-2000. During that time, he helped pave the way for China’s entry into the WTO.
Daley’s work in the Clinton administration earned him a reputation as someone who is ''squarely on the opposite side of working families.''...
Immelt.. has consistently supported the same failed trade policies that have cost America millions of jobs..... he has been at the forefront of the outsourcing movement.
“You would have difficulty finding a company that has outsourced more jobs and closed more American factories than GE,”...
... Immelt was a vocal supporter for China’s entry into the World Trade Organization. He also spoke out against the proposed “buy American” provision.
Immelt, Daley and Sperling.....represent more of the same - failed trade policies that result in the loss of millions of jobs. www.economyincrisis.org...
Federal Government Grants In 2011
The Federal Government has announced several grants considering the harsh economic conditions in the USA. The money for this scheme has been diversified from the tax income of the Government. The Obama Government has declared grants for all day to day expenses. These include purchasing a home or a car, renovation of the house, grant per kid, grants for the parents of the college going students, food & clothing, etc. You can get this money provided you are eligible for the same.....
...grant programs award some $500 Billion in grants to those people and organizations that qualify for such funding....
The Federal Reserve has totally committed to buying $1.25 Trillion in poor credit card debt by way of March 31, 2011.... (Remember this is debt created out of thin air by the bankers so it is actually a BANKER BAILOUT )

Waste. Trillions in war, military industrial complex, drug prohibition, homeland security, body scanning machines, salaries and benefits for already millionaire congressman, hundreds of millions on private parties for the president and his friends....
Carroll Quigley, "Tragedy and Hope" Macmillan, New York, p. 326
When people of this class are stricken by guilt feelings while plotting world wars and economic depressions which will bring misery, suffering and death to millions of the world’s inhabitants, they sometimes have qualms. These qualms are jeered at by their peers as "a failure of nerve". After a bout with their psychiatrists, they return to their work with renewed gusto, with no further digressions of pity for "the little people" who are to be their victims.

Carroll Quigley wrote, in "Tragedy and Hope"[/b]:
"There does exist, and has existed for a generation, an international Anglophile network which operates, to some extent, in the way the radical Right believes the Communists act…. I know of the operations of this network because I have studied it for twenty years and was permitted for two years, in the early 1960s, to examine its papers and secret records. I have no aversion to it or to most of its instruments. I have objected, both in the past and recently, to a few of its policies … but in general my chief difference of opinion is that it wishes to remain unknown, and I believe its role in history is significant enough to be known."
