Let the party continue.
Run it ‘til it blows.
Someday we’ll run out of fake money.

I have decided that it’s time to cash in and scam the Government for all I can get.

At some point. No idea when but this will collapse.

Do any of these people riding the gravy train actually feel good at the end of the day?

I remember occasionally sitting in front of the TV all day on a day off from work, and I didn’t feel good after all that. I felt lackadaisical, bored, tired and not all there.

“...In 24 states, benefits and subsidies
for a family of four with two unemployed parents
is equivalent to $78,813...”
-
In 24 states, nearly half the country,
people have more money staying home than from working.

We are doomed.

Twenty plus years ago I remember reading the top unemployment rate in Massachusetts was $49,900 a year. Why go to work? Also, it is amazing how many people find work just before the benefits end.

I have decided that it’s time to cash in and scam the Government for all I can get.

My niece is attending an Ivy League college. She learned a couple months ago, every student she knows in her department gets food stamps. They told her to apply too. So she did, and was approved. No attempt was ever made to verify her income or family resources. Now she gets something like $330/month. For some unknown reason, this month she got double.

Knowing my personal and political opinions, she mentioned it to me. I told her -- if Blue-state @ssholes are dropping money from helicopters, she should go for it and get all she can get now.

We are in the end-stage of the American Republic, where money is printed and government debt is imagined to be unlimited. It funds every insane woke social engineering scheme, and neocon war they can dream up. It won't last much longer.

I think we are headed for something like Argentina warmed over or worse.

Howie Carr,a great Boston talk show host (and huge Trump fan), was talking about this today of his show.

They aren’t “driving” people from the workforce. They are paying them to mooch off the system. And who can blame them. I am temped to take a temp job just to reset my “benefits” after running my own business for 15 years and having it destroyed by our idiot governor during kung flu.

If you find this disgusting I suggest you don’t visit Hawaii. Becoming a single mother to a “native” is a career path. Bonus for multiple baby native daddies.
