who would not even admit she voted for the same guy most of the country did. How did that work out, Debbie W. Schiltz, oh that's right, you are running Hillary's campaign into the ground and waiting to run yourself in 2020.

I have enough to spend $60 a week on everything.
Groceries, cleaning stuff, DVD's, etc.

And I get $16 a MONTH in food stamps, thanks to Snotty Scotty.
