The story of one trump supporter struggling to get by

[gratuitous]

5. Got it in one

The difficulties people face in getting benefits have been ruthlessly engineered into the system by the very conservatives Eric Harwood would support for the presidency in 2016. These politicians have convinced their followers that there is nothing worse than $427 in monthly benefits being paid out to someone who doesn't "deserve" it. We can waste billions on unworkable military hardware, flush more billions down the drain in payouts to mercenaries, and relieve insanely profitable corporations of billions of dollars in tax liabilities, but if some scam artist beats the government out of an extra nickel, it's time for another Boston Tea Party!

Well Mr. Harwood, it seems that you have arrived at the bitter destination your conservative friends have been designing and building for you these last 35 years. Perhaps you should re-evaluate your support for these cruel policies?

And by the way, every penny you raise on a GoFundMe campaign will count against you as income when your finances are evaluated for eligibility for benefits, even if the money just goes to pay for your past living expenses and you never see any of it show up in your own pocket. Isn't that nice?
