Eliminate the cheats who steal from those in need! Teach a man to fish! Give a hand not a handout to those in need!

Rick McDaniel, did you ever play the game of musical chairs as a child at a party? Well, just imagine the game played with 20 kids but only 10 chairs and you have a picture of job opportunities in the U.S.
Years ago, there were plenty of unskilled jobs that payed a living wage. Today, thanks to unbalanced trade treaties, too many illegal immigrants, etc. many working people don’t earn enough for essentials. As an example, 20 years ago a chicken-processing worker made $19 an hour, today the same job pays $9 an hour. $19 an hour is a living wage, not $9 an hour. The system is gamed against working people.
And there aren’t enough jobs for those already educated, so don’t say education is the answer to this country-wide problem.

Sorry, but one minority is not entitled to tons of special programs to allow them to continue to live without working, just because that’s the way they like things.
Those who have applied themselves, have taken advantage of past programs, and are now very successful people, because they made the effort. It is up to the rest to do the same.

Gut the heck out of welfare and REALLY gut social security to those who are receiving bennefits that are not yet of retirement age. And cut both to illegal aliens and any and all health care to them as well.
It is real simple. Look at the pie charts as to where this country spends money, and GUT IT!!!

I never thought I would see our society going backwards as fast as it is now.

You mean its going backwards faster than when we were losing hundreds of thousands of jobs every month during the Bush economic collapse? And losing tens of thousands of businesses to bankruptcy? And the stock market collapsing? And major banks and financial institutions about to default? And tens of thousands losing their homes?
I think that was going backward at breakneck speeds.

Civil Rights Leaders need to come out against the cheats!!!!!!
I say when cows fly you’ll see them come out against cheating. And don’t forget in areas other than urban there will be one person on “disability”,getting a guvment check and 3 or 4 people showing up on check day to do a little partying.
I never thought I would see our society going backwards as fast as it is now.

This is great, the Republican right thinks Obama is a commie, and the Democratic left thinks he’s a Republican. Sounds like he’s about in the center.
