> Put me in charge of Medicaid. The first thing I'd do is to get women

> Put me in charge of government housing. Ever live in a military barracks?
> You will maintain our property in a clean and good state of repair. Your
> "home" will be subject to inspections anytime and possessions will be

> In addition, you will either present a check stub from a job each week or
> you will report to a "government" job. It may be cleaning the roadways of

> If we are expected to pay for other people's mistakes we should at least

> AND While you are on Gov’t subsistence, you no longer can VOTE! Yes that is

> voluntarily remove yourself from voting while you are receiving a Gov’t
> welfare check. If you want to vote, then get a job.
