Their post- WOW! not only free internet, but also free computers! i've seen where they have new 'low income, government assisted' cell phone plans, too. why work for those luxuries???
My comment back-
Low Income Government Assisted cell phone plans? Oh you mean the ones that offer 50 minutes a month to people that can't afford home phones which are twice the price of any cell phone plan on the market? Yeah.
People that work need assistance too, it's not always just freeloaders. Consumers drive the price of living up way more than the government does, but when someone working full time can't afford to get by these days then what are you supposed to do?
Someone working full time at min. wage is making less than $14k a year before taxes, throw in the need for a vehicle, housing, electric, gas, water and food, medicine and toiletries needed to survive. That leaves almost nothing after that.
There are plenty of people that do nothing but live off of the welfare system, and use that money to buy stupid shit when they could be out looking for a decent job. You know, I understand that times are tough and that public assistance is necessary. My dad was laid off, and was on unemployment until he got back to work (not the same thing, but pretty close). My feeling is that welfare should only be a temporary thing, while there are people that live off of it entirely. I don't mind my money going to help a hard-working family make ends meet. I do mind this entitlement mentality that is sweeping across the current generation.
I'm also not sure where you get that someone working minimum wage makes less than $14k a year... Federal minimum wage would garner $14,500 a year, with two weeks off. They'd get most of the taxes back the next year because of credits and deductions.
Also, it could be said that this recession was driven by this entitlement mentality. People just had to have these nice houses they couldn't afford, and the bubble burst when all of a sudden it caught up to them. It's a dangerous game, and I'm a big proponent of reforming the welfare and food stamp system.

and it was neither here nor there, it's just the same girl that has thrown the same argument around at least 5 times on facebook. Last time it was how food stamps are of the debil. She's an I'm entitled to stay at home because daycares will ruin my child and my husband has to work out of town to support my lifestyle kind of person and she puts down people often. I just got sick of it.
I went to publix today and got asiago cheese, smoked salmon, some yummy looking garlic and green onion teriyaki sauce and pilsbury savorings that are cheese and spinach( on clearance for $2 a box and they are soooo yummy)
Smoked salmon is teh yum.
Kinda depends on what sort of gathering you're having.
Oh now I'm hungry.
And cookies for dessert
Tonight I am just going to make a quick tuna pasta. I have lots of tuna and some veg, so it seemed like the most logical thing to do.
I was thinking of making blueberry tiramisu for dessert on Saturday.

Even other Mexicans are like WTF? My mom makes them like that and that's how I like them.
