She'd have preferred that these programs did not exist. But she already paid into them, she simply took back some of what she never should have had to pay. All of the people who criticize her should first READ her literature. She rails against these programs, but as a rational person, she wasn't going to give up something she could gain.

Yep, and those things are what she paid into to collect upon when she was eligible. Those two programs were not meant to be subsidized programs to begin with. The gov't was just stupid on doing their math so they would not be subsidized programs.
