This is just a small part of the Great Obama Recovery. No doubt.

That’s an arrogant thing to say. You’re trying to be cute and acting as if it’s not a serious and harmful situation for those people.

“...they might as well ride the gravy train.”

That’s damned liberal of you to say.

How long do unemployment benefits last? I thought they were usually for a two or three months.

It’s a joke. Isn’t that pretty obvious?

unemployment benefits last for up to 2 years now. Many then go on disability which last forever. Local Soc Security office has one of those electronic flowing banners in front of the seating area saying “Ask Us About Disability”.

This is perfectly in line with Obama’s objectives.

Daddy, won’t you take me back to Muhlenberg County
Down by the Green River where paradise lay
Well I’m sorry, my son, but we don’t got no money
Mr. Peabody’s coal train has shut down today.

I guess it is like trying to parodying the left, because they make it come true.

Times are such that there probably are people who think that way.

I believe, there are four communities, gettin’ shafted. That’s no biggie, since most of you, supposed “concerned,” are urbanite pretenders- that could not care less, about Our Country.

I understand. Sorry, I did think you were serious.

The world has gone completely crazy and some times it’s hard to tell truth from fiction.

I wish I was a kid in the early 80’s again, life was so much simpler back then. All the kids I knew were pretty decent and “innocent” right through high school for the most part.

This country does not even vaguely resemble what it was back then.

As a teen ager, I got to witness the crazy ‘60’s. You must be around my son’s age. He was born in 1979.
