A common argument I’ve heard the left make, is that childcare argument. We’ve all heard it. “It would cost me more to get childcare for my babies than I would get in gub’mint cheeze, so I am jess betta off sittin at home makin mo’ babies, which gets me more gub’mint cheeze”

A circular argument.

Anyone here remember Jimmuh’ Carters worthless CETA program?

Do you mean the one signed into law by Richard Nixon in 1973? The Comprehensive Employment and Training Act? I would love to toss that tar baby at Carter, but he didn't do it.

My company used to use Job Corps graduates, but over the years, their product has gotten PROGRESSIVELY worse!

Two years ago, my company was in BAD need of employees to man jobs, so we picked up eleven graduates from the San Marcos Job Corps. Within two weeks, we only had ONE left, and he is still with us.

That is NOT a good ratio, so this year, being short of people, we did NOT visit the Job Corps center. We have finally (thank God), written them off for GOOD!

There were a whole lot more than that - most of them unnamed.

Matt 27:52
and the tombs broke open. The bodies of many holy people who had died were raised to life.

Oh, no big deal, they all eventually died again. Bummer. Except for One, of course.

Maine is getting back on track... I heard that LaPage wants a right to work law passed. I think Maine is turning the corner.

Most inner-city welfare cases are third- and fourth-generation; Rush had a caller describe how when she worked as a welfare caseworker a welfare sow’s “golden ticket” bastard asked if she was going to be his caseworker when he grew up...

Liberals pretend urban “youth” need condoms; they prefer to ignore the fact that they breed on purpose - to get a free apartment, food stamps, welfare, etc.

How many are actually Mainers? Bunch of illegals in the mix, no doubt.
