DETROIT — Scuffles erupted as several thousand Detroit residents jockeyed, pushed and shoved Wednesday to get free money being offered to only 3,500 of the city's recently or soon to be homeless.

2010
imagine the day they have a sale on tonsilectomies.
Apparently they thought $3,000 stimulus checks were being handed out. Wonder how they’re liking that hope and change?
Why not just hand out free big screen TVs and a gram of coke and just get it done with. Cut out the middleman!
..so only 3000 of the 50,000 apps handed out will qualify...so lets extend it a week......guess ACORN was out of town,so someone reminded them
And you can’t wait for a hurricane?
these morons can vote and reproduce. we’re screwed.
it would have worked
Meanwhile, the US budget deficit has passed the trillion dollar mark, so Americans should brace themselves for the passage of a raft of new taxes; well, hey - the purchase of votes is costing the Democrats a bundle.
Drive by poster.
There is no free cash. This money belonged to others before it was confiscated for distribution to the idle.
you ain't seen nothing yet..just %14 of the 879 billion has been spent, after the new year watch how it's spent and where it goes,...2010 we'll see new homes and "free" utilities.......watch, we used to joke about free money
There is no free cash. This money belonged to others before it was confiscated for distribution to the idle.
This money wasn't confiscated.
It was borrowed from China.
But you're right... Chinese cash isn't free either.
Which is to say: it was borrowed from our children.
SAYS... “FREE MONEY”?
NOT QUITE CORRECT. THAT WOULD BE “OUR” OR “YOUR (YO) MONEY AS IN DA TAXES PAY-ORA.
LLS
of course
..make ya wonder where they parked the horses and wagons
Padlav’s dogs...........
Well trained and conditioned wards of the state
Your quote reminds me of Lucky’s classic line from King of the Hill:
LUCKY: If I’d never gotten an advance on my credit card, I never would’ve gone to the Costco to buy a 78-inch TV, never would’ve slipped in pee-pee, never would’ve got my settlement money. Scary to think about the road not travelled, huh?
Those images of desperate people lined up for a handout remind me of some of the images from WWII.
They should bulldoze Detroit to the ground and start over. The movie “Robocop” had the right idea.
Never seen so many whites pushing and shoving,....oh, wait,........................LOL
Slavery ended in 1865. 144 years later these morons all think Obozo is handing out $3,000 checks and are willing to kill each other to get one! This may be the single largest sale day for Kools and Colt .45 ever!
Real commercials for Mo Money, amongst others:

Reminds me of the Detroit govt. And you’re rolling in money.
Cue the Jeff Daniels commercial showing how Michigan is the place to relocate your business. Yeah right.
… Already long ago, from when we sold our vote to no man, the People have abdicated our duties; for the People who once upon a time handed out military command, high civil office, legions — everything, now restrains itself and anxiously hopes for just two things: bread and circuses
(Juvenal, Satire 10.77–81)
I read some time back that all the featured companies on those commercials got massive state subsidies. No wonder why their happy. Every time I hear that MI has the upper hand, I picture some businessman getting an upper cut to the face by some State Govt thug.
New tagline

Western society has suicidal tendencies.
“panem et circenses”
I think that’s Latin for “government checks and television”.
Seriously, what will $3,000 get you? A month or two of rent while you wait for the next handout. They continue to vote democrat and it keeps getting worse.
What will happen when winter rolls around and they’re cold and hungry.
Instead of giving away free money, maybe they should just pay people to demolish the city.
No, it means free weed. Good shit, too, no seeds and stems.
I’d be all for this IF the $3,000 was in the form of a one way ticket to the destination of their choice in AFRICA.
It would include citizenship in their new homeland. These ‘clowns’ like to refer to themselves as AFRICAN-Americans should return at the soonest opportunity.
“Seriously, what will $3,000 get you?”
-some serious weed, a new set of high-end sweats/hoodie, top of the line Nikes (or whatever is the ‘in’ brand) and a some liquor money to have a party dis weekend wiff all yo friends!
On Monday moanin, you back in da streets to holla fo MO money!
“maybe they should just pay people to demolish the city.”
OH HELL NO!!!!!!! Look what happened to cities that received the refugees from Hurricane Katrina.
Keep these beggars in one central location, DO NOT spread the misery on the rest of us. (I sold my home and moved to get away from Katrina evacuees.)
That photo should be front page all over the nation. Prepare yourselves.
This is what the liberal statists want. Only on a national scale. MILLIONS of people dependent on the government. Millions of people, having shed themselves of indepedence, self-worth, and any sense of shame, groveling at the feet of the master for any handout they can get. Such people are easy to control, will easily give up any freedoms for the next handout.
Detroit is the model for the New America.
Yep... just as I thought... Amish.
LLS
Anyone shocked by this? Anyone? Bueller?
the IOC wasn’t either
