They could have had it all during the depression too, but back then you had to pay for everything and there wasn’t EBT cards, unemployment and so on, but sooner or later the bills will come due and there isn’t any money to pay them.
Bills? What bills? Declare bankruptcy after maxing out your cards and let someone else pay for that new wide screen. Camp out in your apartment for 6 months or longer rent free because the landlord can't kick you out because of renters' laws. Work just long enough until you can collect unemployment for a year. Bring in all the nieces and nephews to get more AFDC and food stamps. Let the government buy you a new computer and pay for your cell phone. If the government doesn't give you free medical, no problem just stiff the hosptial. Steal someone's credit card and buy some new bling. Heck, change your name to Jose and pretend you're an illegal. The only ones depressed these days are the taxpayers.
