Im sure were gonna have fraud trolls all over this post claiming their going homeless because of the GOP. I love some people on here(sly &wake up people) claim that life is so awesome because of Obama and these are great times. The next day you have people claiming they can`eat, buy gas, and are homeless. Which is it? Is the atmosphere that times are great or are they bad?
The GOP should pass it because they will be needing it in November when they get FIRED.
The GOP wants people to have jobs because most people who don't have jobs vote 'Democrat'.
My prediction is that the gop is doing this to start what I would call cival war part two and this time the war is going to be between the (haves) vs. (the havenots) not only to wipe out poverty in general but to obliterate it totally by killing literally about half of the American population because they were already successful in eliminating the middle class ..................one more to go ...............read your real history books its a plan that has been carried out for centuries.........................Amen
Republicans believe if its not good for business, its not good policy.
