Lazy bums have been around for as long as people. In the early 1900’s, they were called “Hobo’s”. I still call them leaches.

Yes the lazy bum lady that said “ Once I get a full time job, not one where I work one day a week” I’ll be able to save money get a car and make it easy to work.

Thanks to GW’s immigration reforms this white lady has to compete with a guy who will work for 3 dollars a hour from Mexico.

You people make me sick.

I used to know an old man in his 80's who had retired from a lifetime of working for the railroad. He died about 10 years ago. I asked him if he remembered seeing hobos riding the rails during the Great Depression. He said that there were entire families riding the rails. I do not think that these people were all "leeches".

For the most part, I agree. I have a nephew who isn’t worth the spit God granted a lizard in August. I wish he would hop a train.

On the other hand, I do have a sister-in-law who, along with her new husband (my brother passed) will probably be faced with the prospect of homelessness due to two recent plant closings in our area and I don’t think they have more than a years savings built up, they are young.

It’s bad out there, and where I live, it’s getting pretty close to home.
