This asshole needs to lose all of his government benefits
This asshole needs to lose all of his government benefits
Oh good, that must mean that he is in favor of raising the minimum wage to a living wage because that would certainly end people’s reliance on welfare
Missouri has a draining, plundering, leech for a Congressperson and they need to kick Eric off welfare.
I remember when I was maybe 10-12 ish, having a conversation with my Dad, and saying, “What if this is really Hell?” I think I was right.

Ah...the return of the welfare mother meme. Of course, there was no such thing as memes when Republicans first took aim on poor mothers raising families. They're flushing our country down the toilet, and they're trotting out some oldies but goodies to keep us distracted and riled up.
#ElonMusk is a eugenists who loathes people with disabilities. #Trump is disgusted by people with disabilities. Using #AltText tells people all bodies are valued. #AltText is a small but significant act of resistance. www.zdnet.com/article/how-...
Scumbag.
Scum
Funny that the solution is give people none of the vital services and not make businesses pay enough for the government to not have to pay for it.
Hold those town halls, boycott, protest. Unite America - Kick them to the curb. Ask do you support the Constitution & the will of the people or Trump? Do you support Russia or the allies. Get it on record. Do not back down. Resist and take care of each other because this government won't
This is my 27 year old daughter Beryl who suffers from seizures every night!😭😭 She receives Medicaid/ Medicare! Without her $3,000.00 per month seizure meds. She would die! DON'T TAKE HERE MEDICAID AWAY!!!💔😭💔 #MEDICAID #SSI #MEDICARE #RESIST #TRUMP #MUSK #SOCIALSECURITY #HEALTHCAREISAHUMANRIGHT
Just when not far over the border where medication is free. I guess Musk’s and Trump’s needs are greater than your daughter’s. So sad 😞
This is a very dark and sad time for America!😥💔😥
Who are your representatives and Senators? Send them this picture every day.
I will! We live in the Appalachian Mountains of Southwest, Virginia. Thank you for caring!☮️ Virginia's current senators are Democrats Mark Warner and Tim Kaine.
They both understand.
Missouri can keep him.
You are a total pos, this is the only lifeline some people have. I hope there is a special place in hell for you.
A perfect Republican. What is good for me is bad for poor people, who don’t have my strength of character.
Don’t do as I do do as I say
Glad to see I'm not the only one recognizing our legislators as being the BIGGEST welfare recipients in the country. Unlike those on traditional welfare, not only will their government support continue, but they can vote to give themselves raises. Sickening.
Glad these men are being named and shamed.
Eric: "I don't see this as a big problem here. As a matter of fact, I've never seen ONE person on welfare at the Club. Not one! So WHY are we paying out good money for a problem that doesn't exist? End it now. Chicken soup. We still have chickens, right? Good for the soul. Eat up!"
The trumpublicans are all hypocrits! Always have been.
DOGE should come for members of Congress and their offices. After all, exactly what has brought or done for his district in the past 17 years, requiring him to even need a staff of any sorts?
Missouri Republicans are trying to compete with those of other states to see how many people they can harm or kill by removing programs. Are they keeping a scoresheet and trying to one up each other? That seems to be the sole platform of the GOP.
Of course, the empathy of the Republicans for people that actually need help is almost non-existent. Still looking for a caring Republican and still can't find one.
Lack of empathy is the hallmark of a sociopath but I think they may be full blown psychopaths.
$174,000 is way too much to be paying for these politicians in Missouri. Any pay increases should always be dependent on the state’s minimum wage.
I think every elected official should have to live in the average salary for their state, at least for a little while, and try to make it a week on food stamps/SNAP benefits. They don’t have a clue about the majority of people they claim to represent.
Please just remember that the Democratic party rolled over for the Republicans in this election. They were paid to do it. The ruling class needed Republicans for this moment.
My mother was a F/T nurses aide when she learned she could make more money on welfare. She quite, took welfare and went back to school. 4 yrs later she came out with a nurses license and was able to get off welfare. That's how it's supposed to work people. We just need checks and balances.
We don't have that kind of welfare system anymore though.
nope
Most individuals are only on assistance for a couple of years, except maybe seniors.
i've met many that make a career of it. in fact they brag because they think they outsmarted the Govt. It's a generational strategy.
You would have to have the staff to enforce the checks and balances and Republicans don’t allow that. They gut the very people in charge of looking into fraud and abuse, so their entire way of governance makes zero sense and lacks any credibility.
That’s very honorable of your mother, but some people have physical and intellectual disabilities and don’t have the opportunity to get off these programs. It’s all they have. We should all fear and care for those people.
The Deal: Musk would get trump elected and then take over to run the government
Ugly inside as well as the outside.
How many days a year does he work to get that salary? Will he be cutting 50% of his staff?
No person of congress should make over 99k. Unnecessary. Your job is to serve the people not your pay stub
I would have no problem with them maintaining that 6-figure salary, providing they worked more than a few months per year and were prohibited from investing in stocks. About half of them are millionaires before they even set foot in the Capital for the first time.
Id agree, you can add these things to the it of “restrictions” for politicians.
Get the word out
Fuck that blithering AH.
They need to start with corporate welfare, I'm tired of supporting these rich assholes.
The hate is so ingrained in these weasels.
Yeah, fuck those disabled people...RIGHT?
He’s awful, doesn’t represent my views in SWMO.
Peak Political FAFO not seen since the poor were advised to eat cake.
The mentality of a Trump supporter: I know I lost my job, my rights, and my healthcare, but boy, we sure do own the Libs.
Eric, you are a MAGA MORON actually you are worse than a MAGA MORON you are a REPUBLICAN DUNCE. Wake Up. FUCK TRUMP
Make laws to provide a living wage, education, affordable housing, medical and stop price gauging. People that work won't need assistance just to survive! Most families need two incomes and end up on assistance when one is out of work. Seniors and disabled are the long term users. So you Kill them😡
Gross
This is the fault of the single issue and/or uneducated voter. You get what you vote for unless they RIG the votes then you end up with a Traitorous Russian Asset
some of the vilest and nastiest political animals slither and slime out of the Koch Brothers Playpen... Miserable Missouri. Poor, uneducated people believe this shithead's lies Give him NOTHING
Someone tell Zelenskyy not to give in to Trump! Just giving an insane guy more power! abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory...
Church membership is down. They want no social safety nets, which forces people to "churches" who will only give if you first become indoctrinated. It's part of the theocracy plan.
I can't believe we're calling it welfar again. Instead of government aid for people with little or no income, such as cash assistance, food stamps and Medicaid
Of course he only means the non white ones though.
These rubes have actually no idea what they are talking about. What has he done for anybody ever besides himself?
Imagine, a welfare queen making that much...
Vote this fuck out !!!!
Hi. Expert on sacks of shit here. In my expert opinion, Eric is a sack of shit.
What is motivating him to hurt so many people? It doesn't make sense.
disgraceful
Missouri Maga congressman, what a piece of Shit.
Your move, Eric's constituents. If you don't make him pay (and pay by overwhelming margins), you validate his disrespect and disgust for you.
*Ahem* #luigi
They are determined to unalive their constituents
The party for the common man, everyone. :: sarcastic applause ::
Making MAGA Republican's mad is unhealthy for 1’s life in today’s political climate.
He’s always pushing some useless bill or idea to look like he’s hard at work. He’s done nothing for his district.
He doesn't realize, collectively, we could swat him like a fly.
The G.O.P. is a WMD that spews HATE, FEAR & LIES! G.O.P. now stands for GUT, OBSTRUCT & PRIVATIZE! THEY STAND AGAINST most everything WE THE PEOPLE are standing for! But WHEN THEY THREATEN OUR HEALTH & SECURITY, Now that's AN ACT OF WAR!! wicklinefamilyandfriends.bandcamp.com/track/the-g-...
This guy is a congressman, so he lives on the taxpayers' dime—paycheck, benefits, and retirement.
Have you been reading the email surveys his office is sending out? The wording is tactful & manipulative, forcing people to support his ulterior motives by presenting them under names that are meant to tug at the heart. Of course I care about energy independence but not at Earth’s expense. 🤷♀️
How can Missouri support this?
Lots of historical lead mining down here. Only way I can figure it.
Please take a look at these and consider following go.bsky.app/6dCw92a
Because most Missourians aren’t paying attention.
Love me some fresh, steaming hypocrisy in the morning
This is my neck of the woods and we have been growing for years and had to fight for what Medicaid we had in our area. They just made it 10x worse now! Oh but hey we don’t want people dependent on the govt. Most people here are disabled or older folks who need that help! It’s BS!!!
I contacted his office about his sponsoring the bill and requested a response…crickets of course. But it did get me on his mailing list🙄
Well, he was gonna be the next person to die. I mean he’s got like a death warrant seriously
Bynum.house.gov FLOOD HIS INBOX. What a POS
Criminal
Pig.
He's my numb-skull and I thought Billy Long was a waste of oxygen...
Cute. Right at a time when there’s a white collar recession and people are being laid off in droves.
rise up against him, they all need to understand who they works for
🤬
The vast majority of welfare recipients would rather be working. They lack job skills, however, child care is very expensive, and minimum wage is too low. This could all be changed with programs that are being cut or never existed.
You mean he’s going to make corporations pay a living wage and offer benefits? That’s awes….. Wait, he’s one of those guys who wants to stomp on the poor. Dickhead.
Eric has the best healthcare paid for by the taxpayers while he moves to destroy Medicaid, Medicare, and Social Security.
😡😡😡
You would save more money by ending Corporate Welfare especially the Queen of Corporate Welfare Elon Musk.
Perhaps people have already bailed on Zuck, but if not, stay off Meta all weekend. Let that ad revenue crash. johnoliverwantsyourraterotica.com
Hey Eric...
Just like Elon and Murdoch - once they get what they wanted they pull up the ladder so nobody else can.
These turds keep stinking up the country. Cannot stand their asses. You elect them but then they tell you how you should live. These losers are so out of touch.
MAGA love “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” talk, but all I ever see them do is pull up the ladder.
It’s easy! Don’t vote this jerk off back into office. You may never see him again but if you’re lucky, you can find him applying for food stamps.
Evil.
2nd amendment supporters you know what to do.
Eric is a useless piece of shit. I’ve watched him in committees and he sounds like a goddamn idiot.
Hoping he will include corporate welfare like the subsidies that for-profit companies get from the U.S. govt.
Repulsive…no heart, no…
Welfare queen Eric
What a fucking scab
Rethuglicons motto:
Cunts like him will pay in the end. VOTE 💙 RESIST.
What does dependency on welfare mean? Like they just get welfare?
We will remember you at the primaries
While I sympathize with Dem voters that will be impacted by policies like this, I can't help but not care about how it impacts any GOP voters. They voted for these people. If they lose their healthcare, SNAP, housing, or even their lives from it they'll just be reaping the harvest they had sown.
I know how he feels. He hated to be seen standing in line for his hand out. He just wants to prvent others having the same embarrassment. Fuck Eric and his morals.
Correction: he just gave himself a raise.
Irony.
THAT will be the end of congress🤣
How dumb are the people that vote for these assholes????
He is a piece of shit!
Jess, it is time for you and your team to start holding town halls.
The hypocrisy is astounding
Fuck this guy
Missouri is for MAGA lovers who are unaware that they vote against their own interests.
Hey, #Missouri … if you are losing your democracy to ignorance and incompetence shouldn’t he? How about finding someone who cares about you? You hire them, you fire them.
Soon, the cuts, cancellations, rejections and other anti human efforts Republicans push to 'save money', will finally trickle down to us, 'We the People' ... Donald Trump, Elon and MAGA will go hide behind barred doors to avoid us. These MAGA never faces their own lies. Eric will run.
This Canadian lived in Columbia MO for 4 years. I am so overjoyed to be back home in Canada! 🇨🇦🇨🇦
i wonder if he is aware that welfare ended in 1994 under clinton?
Blue states need to come up with State solutions to this problem of cutting aid to the most vulnerable. Pronto. Like, yesterday. BLUE STATES NEED TO START THEIR OWN SUPPLEMENTAL PROGRAMS.
What a scumbag!
Of course he does! It’s a damn shame he is going to be on the receiving end of Karma ( not really)!
Welfare congressman...
Bold move from a guy whose entire paycheck comes from taxpayer dollars. Imagine living off government money and then telling struggling people to ‘stop being dependent.’ Comedy writes itself.
Despicable. And typical of the GOP.
Well, yeah, look at him. His family tree is a wreath.
Lie/exaggeration the Republicans have been repeating for decades. The vast majority of recipients are temporary. They would have you believe the majority are cradle to death recipients. Same goes for number of people fraudulently voting. Number of babies aborted after being born. All lies.
Soulless maggots How about we take away his bank account and neuter him
Cruelty is all they have.
Let’s cut off his welfare tax payer paid healthcare, retirement plan and give him $7:50 per hour. That should fix it.
Greedy motherfucker
Why are they all so physically ugly as well, like fugly ugly….
Mediocre white man syndrome
Vanilla little man
They can't seem to do the evil shit fast enough, so all that ugly on the inside starts showing on the outside, at least two-fold... sometimes 100 fold.
He's always been a POS but the ignorant people of his district are conditioned to only vote Republican. This area sucks politically
😳😳😳
www.ky3.com/2025/02/25/s... One of the key components "Codifies reinforcing work as a pathway to self-sufficiency." I think they meant to write "Arbeit macht frei."
Hypocrisy
He looks like he has a lot of meat on those bones...
A welfare queen complaining about people that actually need it for their survival!
What a slug. But that’s the message Congress passed in the house. Nationwide.
Typical. Ok for me but not for thee.
This dogebag lives in one of the poorest red counties in the U.S. of A.
Most welfare recipients are children. Not like that matters to the American Nazi's. But yeah.
Another Republican trying to steal from Missourians
Another face ripe for a skillet.🍳
Another bootlicker hurting his constituents.
I had a friend - had - who keeps banging ion the "deep state," and I'm like, you have only worked for government contractors (with contracts with NASA) since graduating from college - 35 years ago.
www.ky3.com/2025/02/25/s...
As Adam Kinzinger has been asking, how much is Eric cutting from his budget.
Our reps on the southeast side are just as bad. Causing poor people pain seems to be their ticket to heaven.
REPUBLICAN OLIGARCHY ASS LICKING DOUCHEBAG 🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
I hope they get slaughtered at the voting booth.
A greedy fool! Glad he's never had to miss a meal ...
Missourians, you get what you voted for. And you voted for trash.
Not all of us. They just refused to listen. 😕
I still for the life of me.Don't know why anybody would vote for a Republican.They only help the rich and powerful that fund their campaigns
It's because the Democratic party is feckless and has no material analysis.
These clowns need to be primaried so bad. Average old fat white male parasite feeding off the taxpayers dime to do the bidding of billionaire overlords.
You still believe in fair future votes?
Let’s end yours first!!
"welfare for me, but not for thee" should be Eric's motto.
No, see he’s white and male so that’s different /s
My next door neighbor
Eric Burlison a republican, of course he has no shame.
People get stuck in the cycle of welfare bc they can’t get a job that pays ENOUGH to eat, house, live. Support a living wage, and you’ll reduce welfare assistance.
Agreed, & women/w/children are hurt by pay inequity. "Support a living wage, and you’ll reduce welfare assistance."
A hole garbage
That will go well. 🙄

Indeed. What is his legislation history?
#FuckingMAGAMoron
Wow!
Everyday I’m more grateful my 100% disabled sister passed away last spring so she didn’t have to die via GOP cruelty. And I’m resentful that I’m grateful it. These feckless thugs deserve the fates they are forcing on our most vulnerable.
What a heartless Prick!
What's it like, I wonder, to be so simple-minded that you truly believe all you have to do is turn off the best solution to the eternal problems of hunger, homelessness, etc. and they'll simply vanish? Assuming, of course, you don't just have high tolerance for watching mass starvation.
They know it won’t vanish. They think they shouldn’t have to pay for it.
I think they really don't mind watching hundreds of thousands of people die from preventable causes. Look how Republicans kept pushing lies about covid and vaccination while thousands of people were dying EVERY DAY. Remember DeSantis cold-bloodedly ordering high school kids to take off their masks?
It’s the Republican version of Atlas Shrugged - the version where they have a woefully misguided and inflated version of themselves. They are Eddie, at best.
And just yesterday, Bezos basically announced that he is Gale Wynand (The Fountainhead), apparently forgetting what a putz Wynand really was and how he ended up. Honestly, Ayn Rand novels should not be read by adolescents. They never, ever shake off the stupid conviction that Objectivism is real.
Yep
Filthy white Neo Nazi trash Government welfare queen @ericburlison.bsky.social
It's hard to understand how a Congressman for a district that has higher poverty rates than the rest of the state feels this is the right way to serve his constituents. 💔
Does he go out in public?
Republicans have been exposed
Guy is an asshole for sure, but why did the people vote him in?
He is so disingenuous and obviously forgot his roots!
How bout people vote to put you out of office
