It’s time to cut off ALL forms of welfare for individuals and corporations.

I heard this call from Lucy live that day. She has to be so lazy, someone has to wipe her fat butt. She called another show later in the day to say the welfare only lasted a couple of years. I call BS on that excuse.

[Buckeye McFrog]

How fitting that she would call KLBJ to tell this story!

All I can say is that about 7 or 8 out of every 10 EBT card users which I stand behind in the grocery store line are getting food I cannot afford and driving away in cars I can't afford. Almost all of them are younger and more able-bodied than me.

The talk gets interesting by the end where it is revealed what a trap the system is. She does explain how she would be appreciably worse off if she did try to work.

The problem is that the safety net became a very cushy hammock. Honestly, it ought to be miserable, and the the marginal cost of leaving it would be minimal. However we live in a society where idiots scream about wealth disparity without a lick of concern about effort and ability disparity which is what makes for the gap.

lifelong demcorat right there. exactly what LBJ was talking about when he said he’d have em voting his way for 200yrs.

[I want the USA back]

This is what’s wrong with the country.

[pgkdan]

I find it very hard to believe that the caller was an actual welfare recipient. This has prank written all over it. The sentiment’s true but the call was a prank.

Somebody needs to take care of all my chillins!

Good audio to send to your producer friends.

We have been working this week at the local baptist church ministry for giving food to the needy. Tuesday, had this woman, her daughter, and her several kids come in needing food. Needed money to pay power bill, which we send them downtown to an office to assist with that, and clothing needs. Said they were broke and desperate. So, we process them and send them back into the waiting room. 10 minutes or so later, I have to go outside and there is the women, standing outside SMOKING. They both HAD MONEY FOR SMOKES, but not money for food, power bill or buy clothes. THAT is with the majority of them. You can smell the smoke on them when they come in. Need help with everything, except PAYING FOR SMOKES!!! They have the money for that it seems.

She exists in a very fragile world. No skills, no worth other than voting and helping to break the system. When things go bad, people with skills have a chance.

This worthless puddle of ooze has zero chance.

Why is this being reported as if it were news? No surprise here.
