Author: “The current economic malaise is reminiscent of what the Great Depression was like.”
Ummm, really? The Great Depression had SOUP LINES with SKINNY/HUNGRY people lined up.
Now, we’ve got Obese, spoiled people who get their food stamps from the comfort of their social welfare subsidized homes with smartphones and flat screen TV’s.
“Now, we’ve got Obese, spoiled people who get their food stamps”
Do you have any idea how long the soup lines would be if they weren’t hiding it with food stamp cards?
As for “obese,” if they didn’t have to buy the cheapest possible crap, maybe they could lose weight with Avocado Provencale and Crepes Bengal.
“social welfare subsidized homes with smartphones and flat screen TV’s.”
I’ve been hearing that for decades, and so I checked. Googled it and found the income guidelines. My Navy pension and disability don’t add up to squat, and what there was has been inflated away. Nonetheless, I don’t qualify for anything at all, even with two minor children in the house.
So who are these people who are getting their rent paid and their phone paid and flat screen TVs from welfare?
I think perhaps such things used to happen, but I don’t see any signs of it these days—absent outright fraud, I guess.
