EBT is pervasive.
The entitlement army was the key to victory in 2012 and will be in 2016 (unless the markets have puked on the fake money by then).
The Dems could elect Charles Manson if he promised to keep the entitlements flowing.
Stories like that are pathetic. We know damn well if George W. Bush was presiding over this economic disaster there would be hell to pay and rightly so. This country deserves far better leadership and we’re not getting it from either party. This economic malaise starts and ends in Washington because they’re the ones who are spending us into oblivion and are creating legislation that is hampering productive growth in all sectors of the economy.
I saw this coming — or rather heard this coming — years ago after Obama’s first election when I heard a constant series of radio advertisements making signing up for food stamps akin to joining a gym or joining a book club. All light, healthy and perfectly respectable. Why, everyone’s doing it!
Apparently that is the goal.
Keeping your job is the new raise!
The dream of big government fully realized.
With rampant, near-total fornication (sex before marriage) rates, the family structure is basically extinct, setting the perfect stage for welfare moms to dominate the political landscape by sheer numbers, and they will incrementally vote total socialism in.
Ripe environments for Islam to take over, if the former wasn’t scary enough.
They advertise on the radio to come get your EBT card.
Actively recruit people to get free stuff, and you'll get more people signed up to get free stuff.
Social programs are a problem. And with so many anti-family laws passed over the decades, they’ve destroyed traditional family structure and prevented fresh, new competition from rising.
But the many interests that brought so many regulations against starting small businesses (especially against small manufacturing starts) are to blame, although in politics, they generally blame those on food stamps (e.g., for government teacher raises). Where are the manufacturing jobs?
What about the bureaucrats and their favorite, NIMBY constituents? They’re not doing anything useful. What about their serices (yeah, you). There’s not enough manufacturing on U.S. soil for revenues to sustain. So they do their part to pile up more debt for their fees and salaries while ragging about the descendants of those who once worked hard to support them.
What is conservatism, really? Think about it. Where’s the moral conservatism. Without moral conservatism, there can be no fiscal conservatism (which implies real work—not sitting at a desk and thinking about ways to steal).
