    Boy, Greenburg sure doesn’t mind biting the hand that feeds him. Isn’t he suing the U.S. Government? What a piece of work.

    A real piece of something, anyway.

    Let’s cut the food stamps and then give a s***load of money to those who are more deserving, like Maurice Greenberg. We can do it all in one bill (wink-wink). Why should the wealthy be expected to take responsibility for their own lives? That expectation should only be applied to the poor, the elderly, and the disabled.

    I swear, when Greenberg dies, the devil will simply hand over the keys and tell him “Here; it’s your place to manage now.”.

    Don’t call me shirley called it as it really is. I am ashamed to live in the same America as these folks. when I was in school, we were taught how to be a responsible citizen, making sure we knew how fortunate we were to be an American and that we had a DUTY to our nation, to all our fellow citizens. And after the Great Depression, a new social contract was made to ensure that farmers weren’t at the mercy of the weather, and folks weren’t at the mercy of the market. This program was supposed to help what used to be family farms, not the corporate behemoths that took over. And with the latest Tea Party gift, we see this is not about efficiency, or stopping fraud but rather WHO gets the bucks, who cares what the program was for.
