‘Moving Forward’: This Congresswoman Wants You to Know That Entitlements Aren’t Handouts

Dec. 12, 2012 6:30pm Becket Adams

Okay, we’re going to do something a little different.

We’ll present a congresswoman in her own words, make a few quick points, and then the comment section is all yours.

“America is on the upswing,” said Texas Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (yes, that Sheila Jackson Lee) during a speech on the House floor Wednesday. “With increased manufacturing, more consumer confidence — we’re moving forward. The economy is moving up.”

She continued:

I believe it should be pronounced here today, that the reform of the entitlements based upon slipshod, reckless, deliberations — or should I say actions — are a non-starter. There is no way, Mr. Speaker, that we should raise the eligibility age for Medicare, that we should not think carefully about how we approach the reform of Medicaid.

And that we don’t tell the American people that Social Security is solvent. So, I would say move quickly to pass the middle class tax cuts that would be for all Americans, 100 percent up to $250,000 dollars.

The Texas congresswoman ended on this peculiar note [emphasis added]: “And let’s think about moving into 2013, how we make this economy better by looking carefully at how we reform entitlements that are not handouts but they are earned.”

First, manufacturing is not, as the congresswoman suggested, on the upswing. In fact, as reported earlier by TheBlaze, “U.S. manufacturing shrank in November to its weakest level since July 2009, the first month after the Great Recession supposedly ended.”

Second, yes, consumer confidence is up, but we’re not so sure that means the economy is “moving up.” Just ask the 540,000 people who stopped looking for work in November.

Lastly, how does one “earn” an entitlement? No, really, we’re dying to know.

  Cute comments. Of course not one of you know what piece of legislation she talking about do you? Quick! What’s she talking about? You don’t know, you’re just parroting what the headline here said and each other.
  
  Let’s here some strong one among you rise up, do your research and explain the legislation she’s speaking in favor of and why you think her thoughts are so absurd. Let’s see if your “intelligent” ideas on this subject – once you even come to grips with the subject, which you obviously haven’t so far – stand up under scrutiny. Come on, you’re big boys.
  
  TheMonk, good luck getting off the government dole. If you weren’t one of those lazy bums that the Democrats want to help you’d have a job by now. You’re just another welfare queen.

  Send, I bet you fifty bucks SHE doesn’t know what she’s talking about either. She is my congresswoman. She doesn’t know what goes on in her own district, let alone in congress. She has no idea what anything is unless someone tells her. She’s not reading legislation, she’s taking someone elses word for it, most likely her staff, which are also taking someone elses word for it. So everything she says is almost always third hand information said with conviction. And trust me, even the democrats out here would like to kick her out of her seat from pure embarrassment. But many people vote based solely on name recognition.

  Here’s a great quote about Lee;
  
  “Sheila Jackson-Lee might be the dumbest person in congress. She might even be the dumbest person outside congress. If there were ever a global championship for idiots, the country could send her there. And leave her there; because unlike Lassie, she wouldn’t be able find her way back on her own.”

  Promise everyone in your district, that does not want to work, that you will ‘bring home some bacon’ for them, and you will get their vote.
  Many entitlements are not earned, but are just applied for. Food Stamps, Welfare, Housing, Obama phones, etc.
  It seems this is the norm, when it comes to Dems., they get elected by Unions, and the Dems. give them more. Dems. get elected by a bunch of freeloaders, and the Dems. give them more.

The system is broken I’ve worked my whole life paid taxes my whole life never asked for so much as a dime from government and my vote counts the same as someone who never worked a day in their life and consumed large ammounts of tax dollars to avoid work. I served three years in the U.S. Army did my part then when out a got a job not tax payer funded to raise my family and my vote counts the same as a sandra Fluke who at the age of 31 has never held a job and consumed massive amounts of tax dollars for her education and living expenses and demanding birth control as well.
  THE SYSTEM IS BROKEN ONLY TAX PAYING PRIVATE CITIZENS SHOULD VOTE AFTER ALL THEY ARE THE ONES FUNDING THE GOVERNMENT COUNT SOMEONE WITH NO SJ=KIN IN THE GAME THE SAME AS SOMEONE PAYING FOR THE GAME

Also, soon to be releasing their next big hit – “We Be Moving Forward With The Lord and Messiah Obama” which includes a guest rap performance by Jamie Foxx.
  
  Bottom line…What a load of $#!^. This country is already in hell. The rapid takeover by libs and progressives on both sides of the isle have turned this nation into a POS. We have got to do whatever we can to save what remains of her.

  Hey Sendthemeteors, the problem isn’t what legislation she’s talking about, the problem is that her comments would be idiotic if they were made about ANY legislation. Her use of English is marginal at best. She uses double negatives repeatedly. She’s only elected because the district was gerrymandered to make it a substantially black district. It’s also an area that had hundreds of deceased people vote in person in the 2008 Democrat primary. Care to hazard a guess how someone who had been dead for years was able to cast a ballot in the 2008 Dem Primary? BTW Texas was sued by the Obamao administration to stop it from enforcing a law requiring ID to vote. Obamao did not win a single state that requires photo ID to vote.

OK Blaze… here’s my commit.

First, she started with a negative and then used that to continue with using double negatives; which is VERY POOR GRAMMAR. Let me rewrite it for you.

It’s not this;
There is no way, Mr. Speaker, that we should raise the eligibility age for Medicare, that we should not think carefully about how we approach the reform of Medicaid.

And that we don’t tell the American people that Social Security is solvent.

It was this;

There is no way, Mr. Speaker, that we should raise the eligibility age for Medicare, (that’s the negative and then she jumps to using the double negatives) (There is now way Mr. Speaker) that we should not think carefully about how we approach the reform of Medicaid and (There is now way Mr. Speaker) that we don’t tell the American people that Social Security is solvent.

Yep, that’s a Representative in the House showing off her wonderful grammar.

That or she was just drunk….

  ……..except Social Security didn’t wait a full workers lifetime of paying into it before they started paying out the benefit. Like a Ponzi scheme, the people who get-in first get all the benefit and the ones at the end when it goes ****-up (US) get stuck still paying into it even after the benefit stops, or gets downgraded.

  Not at all Jihad Jerk. Look at your posts as proof positive, or negative. It is all race, antisemitic, gender related drivel. Click on your little jihad jerk name and read. I make up the crap you type? Clever. hitler blamed people too now didn’t he. Couch your hate in wiki toids if you sleep better. Don’t stop, keep it up, it needs to be in the light. It was you and similar folks that got Paul and Johnson dissed. Not Paul and Johnson, their whack job supporters. Carry on.

  “She’s from the black culture that teaches their young that entitlements are deserved, not a handout. Entitlements are rights.”
  
  Yeh, Jihad Jerk, I made that up, then made you type it.

  “Need to start killing these worthless people.”
  
  Yeh, Jihad Jerk, I made this up and made you type it too. Sure. Go see a good Jewish psychoanalyst, they are the best in your book, no?

  RJJ. Stats will contradict your appraisal a bit. Caucasians account for about a third of welfare recipients during peak employment periods. When unemployment rises their welfare recipient rates rise more rapidly than other demographics because they make up about 80% of the population. In the case of our 12% black populace, they account for about 35% to 42% of the welfare roles the former # and the latter # representing high and low unemployment periods respectively. The number of blacks on welfare consistently outnumber whites. The usual assumption is that the larger percentage by demographic will represent the larger impact in an equation but our 12% populace has a tight grip on the lead in too many negative statistical charts to list here. Here is a common one for you if you want to look it up; the percentage of serial killers who are black. Just thought I would chuck that out for sh%ts and giggles.

  I grew up in the South, and worked for several years in many County Health and Welfare buildings. They DO teach their kids it’s a right. They teach their kids to pump out babies, because, “Another baby gets you another check.” I can show you 3 “projects” that hold 3rd and 4th generation welfare rats. If they’re bennies are denied, racism becomes the word. They know it, and they play on it. Don’t bother calling me a racist, either. The truth is color blind.
  
  Want more proof? Simply look how the Loony Left demonizes any person who dares leave the Democrat Plantation.

  There was a tax created for Social Security and Medicare workers and their employers have to pay it no mather what, so stop calling these an entitlment. What I want to call an entitlment is WELFARE there was no tax created for that, payments come out of the general tax pool. Which all workers pay into with their time that they sold to our enployers (this tax is call income tax.) That is why we have so many out of wedlock childern, so that mothers can get their benefits. Social Security and Medicare is a me, myself and I tax and should be thought of being an annuity which you should get back as much as was paid into.

Sheila is the main competitor for Stupidest Woman in Congress so Nancy Pelosi had better watch it or she’ll be overtaken and beaten with experience. Sheila has PLENTY of experience.

  Do you pay into social security? I do and I AM entitled to it and anything else that I’ve payed into. And I expect compound interest on it.

  Sorry Bud but that ponzi scheme is not going to pay off. When congress figured out that they could steal from it to spend on frog bridges and airports with one airplane that program was done. You can act all indignant about that being an earned entitlement, and it is but maybe you should have been yelling and screaming at congress when they were busy spending every freaking dime in the SS coifers.

  Social security and Medicare are considered “entitlements” because only those that have paid into them are “entitled” to the payout once they hit the eligibility age so long as the programs are solvent. Anything else is nothing more than a handout.

Yep, guess she needs a dictionary to understand the meaning of the word entitlement.

Again, and as is almost 100% of the time, the truth has no meaning to these people. Just say whatever comes to your mind since they won’t be questioned or made accountable for it in any way by the media.

What asteroid is this POS from? She lives in a non-parallel universe and needs to have her head examined. All the welfare programs MUST be phased out if freedom is to flourish again.

America is on the upswing, LMAO That profound remark alone should get the idiot fired but her constituents are just as intelligent as she is so we don’t have to worry about the intellectual titan getting fired anytime soon. Welfare is earned? Really and just how is it earned you brain dead nut job? Lee stands as a bright shining example of the failure that is our public school monopoly. It creates idiots and unleashes them on the rest of us.

  WOW, YOU LEAN SOMETHING EVERY DAY
  
  Entitlements are not handouts. All my life I was lead to believe that they were free money handouts but this black congresswomen says they are not handouts. I apologize for thinking this all my years. So those Entitlements are really legalized theft. Now the Government can steal our money by just announcing some regulation. America is now ruled by thousands and thousands of regulators who can create new entitlements.
