Some fun relevant facts:
Maryland's unemployment rate is ~ 5.5%
Baltimore unemployment rate is ~ 8.2 %
Baltimore unemployment rate for young black men is ~ 37% %
Source CNN Money
Maryland's minimum wage is $8.25 per hour
Baltimore's minimum (called living) wage is much higher : ~ $11.50 per hour.
source baltimorebrew .com
Yep, almost $12 per hour.
Recall how we are lectured that outlawing these low paying entry level jobs will create better paying jobs, because they all get a raise which they spend.
Yep, no HS degree, no work experience, probably an arrest record (try looting businesses) . Sure they will get $12 per hour..
Then why are thees same libs complaining about lack of these jobs in Baltimore???
Chris Matthews and others calling for congress to pass a summer jobs bill for these hellholes because of the lack of entry level job opportunities in them.
Simple solution : Raise the Baltimore living/minimum wage to $17 per hour, its *free* as libs always lecture us.

The first liberal plan is to federalize the police and remove the Constitutional power of the sheriff.

RE:”

They should be getting $3000 an hour.
To: sickoflibs
They may have a point.
why work for $300 per week when welfare pays $400 per week? (Just pulling numbers out of the air)
So, in a lib’s mind,
instead of removing the welfare incentive,
you increase the pay for the unskilled and slothful.

RE:”

The EITC was created to address that problem.

Federal Social Security disability is where the big $$$ is at, its the welfare of Kings.Most of the folks on disability I interview at a local food/clothing/etc bank twice a week would disagree. Average disability check I see is 700/month, hardly "big $$$."
IMHO, about 40% of them would/could be better off w/ a job.

Most of them are fakes, 90% of all those who get that check claim problems that doctors cannot verify, like back pains.

After interviewing hundreds of these folks (bearing in mind the interview has nothing to do with their "disability," just that they get a SSI check every month), IMHO the SSI system needs a periodic review in which the applicant must prove, via doctor statements, etc. that the disability still exists. I suggest once every three years.
