well, we have fully 1/3 of people in this country on public assistance of some kind.

Can a nation survive long term with such a dependent class?

Only as long as we producers continue to bend over and fund it.

I don’t think so - the problem will continue to grow. What do people with nothing to do, with their lifestyle and their kids subsidized by someone else, do? Well - one thing is that they procreate, and usually at a higher than normal rate. And the chances are pretty high that all of those children will grow up on welfare as well.

This is what is frustrating - those striving to be “compassionate” are just making the problem worse and more untenable. I’m guessing on purpose - they will be there to pick up the pieces when it collapses

lets be realistic that there are plenty of so called "conservatives" and patriots taking the money as well....any govt retiree has got a sweet sweet deal, far above the average citizen...

double dippers and triple dippers...its all just a game...
