WTF would she have done 100 years ago when the ONLY charity doled out was 1--through the church, 2--through neighbors who gave you a job so you could get off your dead lazy ass and WORK your way out of trouble?
There weren't many 'lazy asses' 100 years ago. They either were in fact 'DEAD lazy asses' or that they would be soon if they didn't do something to change their circumstance. Those were days when people got angry because they couldn't work because they knew what was at stake and work is what you did. There were consequences then to not working, albeit they were very harsh, not to mention many employers took full advantage of the harsh realities.
I'm too the point where I say, fine--we will have a role--30 million people can be on welfare--that's it...first come, first serve with limits(you use up your limit, then you've used up our sympathy for your situation too). Limits can be set like a bankruptcy--no further aid for 10 years or something. There are NO cost of living increases. If you want a cost of living increase, you go out and earn it yourself. IThere are no increases when you have another child. You can show your own compassion to your child and give it up for adoption if you are worried about how it will be taken care of--your money woes when another kid comes, much like those of the middle and upper middle class, are not the government or hte general public's concern...as frank says, you accept, adapt, and move on. In return for limiting the rolls, taxpayers will not see tax increases for social programs. It's a--"you've got a net, but not everyone can be on it and nobody will be on it indefinitely.
As for the bogus ssdi injuries...set up something short term instead. You get retrained if it is that bad of a physical injury and get back to work doing something else within 2 years--that's your limit. I'm sorry, but an injury is not license to have the taxpayers support you for the rest of your life. Be glad you still have your mental health and most of your physical capacity when there are severly retarded people who will never be able to do the things you can do in a day, let alone a lifetime.
That's it, rant off. I'm so sick of users in this world. I really am. And it's personal to me when I live with and see a person who truly as a BIOLOGICAL disability that will stay with him his entire life and tha the can't be 'retrained' out of. Yet, I have a feeling my son will still work most of his life because we are working hard to still teach him a work ethic on some level he can understand it. I'm tired of lazy asses who can then take their mob power as voters and vote themselves to be perpetual lazy asses and to extend the lazy ass ethic to everyone else.
Now, I'm going to figure 'costing out' so I can talk with some knowledge in a few hours with my partner in crime for my school project.
Not that 'costing out' matters in the Obamaworld since everything is free after all right..it doesn't 'cost' anybody anything.
