Perhaps going to war against Russia over Syria would help distract the people.
Been thinkin’ about it lately. But just to supplement my retirement income of course. LOL! Nope. Can’t bring myself down to that level. Apparently my self respect level indicator doesn’t go there. I do understand there are those that really do need help but they are probably not getting what the “need” compared to those that have figured out how easy it is to scam the system.
Don’t sell the welfare recipients short. I bet more than a few of them work under the table.
I would not.
If I were able to work, and work was available, taking welfare would be like stealing. I am not a thief.
One of the biggest attributer to the explosion in food stamp usage is most americans were living pay check to pay check before the recession. In a lot of these cases it was a case of not saving rather buying whatever, houses they could not afford, new cars, borrowing for education or just to support an expanded life style. When the downturn came i.e. medium household income has fallen 6% since 2007 in the face of inflation on necessities, specifically gasoline and food, there was no way to make up the difference. Bozo has not been able to turn it around and worse his policies are promoting a further decrease in income along with higher costs for medical and taxes for instance.
His way out, start a war with Syria and try to get one going across the entire world to take the eye away from his failures domestically. With is track record of failure, don’t look for us to be successful on the battle front either.
My “want” list from the government:
1) leave me be
2) get out of my way
Hell no.
My self respect is worth a lot more to me.
Don’t sell the welfare recipients short.
I dont sell them short...I give credit where credit is due and if they do work and or have financial means & collect they are real scum bags and I don’t consider that selling them short.
Just calling a spade a spade,(I love that term,need to revitalize it)
Pelosi was so proud when she announced that with “free healthcare” and welfare, more people will be able to stay home and realize their life long dreams of writing poetry, learning to play the guitar and painting pictures of bowls of fruit. What a country!!!
It's producing hundreds of thousands of jobs for the Chinese and other low wage countries.

My worthless brother-in-law (If you know him he probably owes you money) has not worked steady since 1981. He said he was not going to pay taxes to Reagan!
By 1985 he found a way not to work at all and has been living on government funds since. What the government did not pay he had HIS WIFE work to make up the difference, but not him! He is too good for work!
Now his wife lost their job and he had to declare bankruptcy. But then, it’s not HIS fault! It is everyone else’s fault!
He sleeps till noon. Every day.
I’m happy that RV sales have come roaring back because I live where they are manufactured and have a job that involves property taxes....so if welfare recipients are living it up in luxury at least do it in style, and on the road. :)
That means get off the sofa and out into the cold and go find a job,
Yes but ONLY if welfare was funded by illegals, GLBT, leftists, Unions etc...and not a penny of tax from a patriot.
I’m not ripping off my productive true brotha/sista fellow citizens. Therefore in reality its a No.
“The World does not owe you a living!” My father told me this a thousand times. He was right.
*answering title question with another question: If you were a single man and you learned that women were attracted to violent men, would you become violent to attract a mate? Some of us are governed by nobler instincts.
I make 75,000 a year. I doubt that they would pay me that much in welfare. If they could, I would decline. Even though there are days when I would love to stay in bed with my wife all day, I still enjoy being productive. I was out of work from June 2011 until March 2012 and it was great at first, but it got old QUICK!
