Your story is sad and compelling, but on the original point of the thread, would you have taken the $80,000 per year job Hannity offered? I hope you would have.
The entire point of this article is to point out the rampant mooching on the system as an endemic problem. Are there people really suffering? Of course. Does the system keep people within its structure? Either by removing the will to work, or stymieing the economic growth, you bet it does.
if i was an able bodied male - hell yes I’d love to boot lobster boy right up the rear end. I’m a little pissed too because if hannity Had gone down to the unemployment line he’d have had plenty of takers — it’s like he looked for a poster boy for douchebags to tar and feather everyone on food stamps. see? 1 cheats - ergo they all cheat — btw if you are homeless but do get unemployment i highly recommend joining a kroc center — for 30 bucks a month I could sower everyday and swim and exercise too — they saved my sanity when I was still sleeping on the church couch.
