They aren't comfortable with their entitlements. They want jobs, but we lowered our import tariffs and outsourced the jobs to China and other countries.
"You can't just keep spending money (on top of not bringing in enough to match) and expect things to get better."
No you can't. But the correct way to fix this is not cut out the safety nets and hope people find jobs that they couldn't find before. The right way is to create the conditions for the jobs to return to America which means restoring the protective tariffs that our founders put in place. Put Americans working for Americans instead of Chinese working for Americans and people won't be clinging to those safety nets any more.
That's not the liberal position. The liberal position is to supply the safety nets and do nothing to get the jobs back.
That's not Romney's position. Romney's position was to cut the safety nets and do nothing to get the jobs back. And to enter more free trade agreements which will outsource even more jobs.
That's DannyTN's position and it ought to be yours!!!

I disagree. I talked to one aquaintence Monday night who lives off of unemployment 9 months out of the year. And brags about it. I know of people who have bragged to my Sister in-law about their “Obama-phone” and about how they don’t have bills. There are people that need safety nets. There are also many who don’t.

No one wanted to cut the safety nets. They needed reformed. You can’t just keep putting money into something and see it go right down the drain. And then KEEP putting money into it.
Returning jobs to the US involves cutting taxes on businesses. If you coincide that with reforming safety nets, it will work.

The liberal position is to supply the safety nets and spend money to create government programs and create workers who will come from those on the safety nets. Problem is, those govn’t jobs don’t last, and really don’t help employment in the long run.

Romney’s ideas to get jobs back was to cut taxes on businesses. Which would would work.
