Heh...it would cost too much money to provide benefits to people who always should have had them from the beginning!
Even that argument would probably be rooted in bigotry. People only dislike government money being spent if it's being spent on something or SOMEONE they don't like. Conservatives pretend to hate spending tax money, and use that claim when they call for the ending of farm subsidies or planned parenthood support....but $2 billion dollar stealth planes?? We'll take 50! That's why that big and bloated Farm Bill passes every time (i know house rejected it, but it will still pass in some odious form), it's because everyone likes the idea of helping farmers...which is why it's proponents probably make certain to always call it the "Farm Bill". It's really the "Food Stamps Bill".
