I would think that someone of your outlook would approve of whatever it takes to deny someone a government handout derived from a socialist program.

Well, since social security is NOT a socialist program, you come up short on thinking. Oops.

Oh wait, socialists DO kill people to save money, which I guess must be why you two approve of socialism.

I never knew we had them in this area. My mother is in the Hill Country of Texas, definitely a problem at her place for a time. Then the beast she hates most moved in over her patio. Bats. In the bird house, no less. And the insects diminished. Including the scorpions. Eventually there was nothing more for them to feed on, so they moved on. Ma was sure sorry to see them go. But the scorpions seemed to become extinct.
