There are so many money draining things casually mandated by
Congress or the Administration that are destroying society and institutions, it isn’t possible to even count them now. A former ER nurse told me that the majority of the ER cases when she worked there were illegals or poor people using the ER as their regular doctor. Because it was essentially mandated by law that the ER had to treat them. She quit because the constant supply of overwhelming patients was too much for her.

Here’s something she alluded to, and I’ve seen in my life. People who get stuff for free are rude, loud, angry and demanding. It’s odd that people paying full price for something are generally calm, polite and much easier to please.

I have an elderly woman renter living with her grandson. When she was paying the rent herself, the place was kept neat and in good order. Then she got onto some government rent plan. When I last went there bags of garbage were piled in the living room because she and the twenty-something grandson couldn’t remember to put them out. Every surface in the kitchen was covered with dirty dishes and rotting food. The house smelled of urine. Other than that, she and her grandson seemed the same as before. The only difference was who is paying the rent. (I’m evicting them.)
