Conservatives: Does this Michigan woman win the Leona Helmsley greed award?
Michigan woman still collecting food stamps after winning $1 million lottery.
Amanda Clayton, who says she owns two homes and a new car, receives $200 a month in food assistance from the state-issued Michigan Bridge Card, which is meant to benefit lower-income residents in the nation's eighth most economically depressed state.
"I thought that they would cut me off, but since they didn't, I thought maybe it was OK because I'm not working,"
"I feel that it's OK because I mean, I have no income and I have bills to pay," she said

6 AnswersBaseball9 years agoWhich POTUS candidate has the only deficit reduction policy that will work?
According to a report released Thursday from the nonpartisan Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget, Barack Obama, Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich and Rick Santorum are touting policies that would push the debt beyond current projections.
Only Ron Paul's plans would begin to sharply decrease the debt,
I'm not in favor of all of Paul's policies, but it seems he is the only one serious about lowering the deficit.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-...
The nation's debt load is typically measured as a portion of the economy, or gross domestic product — with 60% being an internationally accepted level of debt. The United States' so-called public debt is about 70% of GDP.
-Under Obama, the public debt is expected to rise over the decade, to 80% of GDP.
-Gingrich is promoting, including spending on space exploration, a policy that would increase the national debt by an additional $7 trillion over the baseline over the next decade to 114% of GDP.
-Santorum's policies would drive up the debt by an additional $4.5 trillion, to 104%.
-Romney's proposals would increase public debt to between 85% and 96% of GDP.
-Only the proposals from Paul, the libertarian Texas congressman, would reduce the debt from current projected levels, by $2.2 trillion, to 76% of GDP.

9 AnswersSenior Citizens9 years agoHas "The Donald" really gone out on the risk limb this time by endorsing Romney?
There goes that ole' river boat gambler again stepping in when it's safe.
It's my honor, real honor, and privilege to endorse Mitt Romney," said Trump this afternoon.
Trump's endorsement may not be a boon to Romney. In December, Trump's favorability rating was only 40 percent in polls, and he spent much of last spring questioning the validity of Barack Obama's birth certificate.
3 AnswersElections9 years agoPoll: Do you think the Afghan government can maintain control...?
of their country after US troops are gone?
"The U.S. military said in a secret report that the Taliban, backed by Pakistan, are set to retake control of Afghanistan after NATO-led forces withdraw, raising the prospect of a major failure of Western policy after a costly war."
Lieutenant Colonel Jimmie Cummings, a spokesman for the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force said "The classified document in question is a compilation of Taliban detainee opinions," he said. "It's not an analysis, nor is it meant to be considered an analysis."
Or was this released to put pressure on the US to keep troops very nearby, instead of deploying them home?
What is your opinion?

"The Armed Services chairman said that based on his conversations with the nation's military leaders, they have embraced the budget as the "right way to go" after the strategic review."
13 AnswersPolitics9 years agoWill Arab & Western states succeed in confronting Russia over its refusal to condemn the Syrian government?
for its violent suppression of popular protests?
“The Russian policy is not about asking someone to step down; regime change is not our profession,” Sergey V. Lavrov, the Russian foreign minister, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation during a stop on a tour of Asia.
Even in the West and among Arab League members, there is no support for the kind of foreign military intervention that occurred in Libya, because of concerns that an implosion of Syria could spread beyond its borders, dragging neighbors, like Israel, Iraq and Lebanon, into a wider conflagration.
A valid concern.
So what is the incentive for Russia to change their attitude and Assad to stop what he is doing?
