It's ironic that a site called freep.com is not allowed at this freeper site.

The money quote, which I will paraphrase, is that this is a government program with a die date designed to give temporary help to those that need it until they can become self-sufficient.

It was started by discraced ex President Wm. J. Clinton.

[Syncro]

State case workers will try to direct these people to other assistance programs.

Hopefully they will run out of programs, and these people will have to go to work.

I'm sure there are lots of illegal aliens working in jobs they could do.

[eak3]

Once the assistance runs out alot of these people will start rioting and looting to get by. As London burns so will Michigan.

As London burns so will Michigan.

In the case of Detroit, how could you tell?

It sounds like Margaret Thatcher was right.

If the Obama supporting freeloaders think Barry is going to turn America into a cradle to grave nanny state, they might want to think again. The money just isn't there.

Wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. Detroit is practically a war zone as it is.

The only real bright spot I see from the downturn in our economy is that it may encourage many of our illegal "guests" to turn tail and head back home. Hopefully forever.

[Syncro]

Yes, that is a solid prediction.

When you are used to being coddled like a baby and allowed to not take on responsibilities, you throw a tantrum.

Things will get real nasty.

Thankfully, here in the USA we have the Second Amendment. Malcontent thugs here can burn down their own neighborhoods, but when they try to burn down somebody else’s neighborhood they may have a problem. Burn, London, burn. How’s that gun control working out for ya?

And besides that, the pump don’t work ‘cause the vandals took the handles.

[Steelers6]

Look for some Wolverine evacuees, they’ll probably skip over Buckeye country to go to Illinois or Pennsylvania.

[Syncro]

Yup, can't pump the fiat money to the dem voter base without them pesky handles!

All these lefty utopian sentiments from the sixties are now fraught with irony.

Economic Uncertainty Leading to Global Unrest

"In late June, half the public schools in Britain where closed by a massive protest over public pensions cuts, including three major teachers' unions, customs and immigration officers, and air traffic controllers."

Hopefully they will run out of programs, and these people will have to go to work.

Yea, what work? Many of these people held jobs, paid insurance in case they ran out of work. Now they are getting cut off. Too many of my friends have lost jobs. Not one of them a deadbeat. None would accept any help until it became a matter of survival. One guy would not even go get free food so I made the trips for him and brought the food to his house. Finally I told him he was going to have to go do it himself, there was no shame in being out of work when there are no jobs.

Having seen this I find your comments to be so uninformed and very sad. Conservatives do not cheer other people that are down. They lament the waste and overspending that has caused us to get to a point that we can't help people in our own country when they need it.

[gunsequalfreedom]

Burn, London, burn. How’s that gun control working out for ya?

You got that right!

[JennysCool]

The conservatives are now the rebels since the old hippies became the Estabishment. Cool, man!

[April Lexington]

Whoa! First they kick 30,000 college students off food stamps and now this! The dirty rats!

If the rusting, locked factories have smoke coming out of them, they’re burning.
