rick,
Yup, the Great Society sure did cause Americans (of all skin colors) to slide into laziness, dependency, lack of work ethics and eroded the "traditional" family structure when the war on poverty programs plus creation of Medicare and Medicaid almost halved the percentage of Americans living in poverty and greatly increased life expectancy. We must reverse these vile commie agendas or America is doomed or something, something....
Who wouldn't want to live on food stamps averaging $133 a month and eat like royalty, especially the 45% of SNAP recipients age 18 and younger, one in four children under the age of 5. It's just too bad that their able bodied but lazy parents' jobs (perhaps part-time at Walmart or fast food chains) don't pay enough to keep a basic roof over their heads,get health care or eat decently at the same time.They should just get a 2nd or 3rd job if they can beat out the 3 to 4 unemployed Americans competing for every one job.
Food stamps usage climbing and more people on other assistance must be irrefutable proof that more Americans are "incentivized" to slough off. They better not use lame excuses that our jobs have been outsourced overseas, esp in manufacturing or that productivity and profits are up but wages are stagnant or declining with the median hourly wage for workers falling by 2.8 % between 2009 and 2012 felt the most by lowest paid sectors. These irresponsible moochers can't fool us with thier bad economy/no jobs whining and they shouldn't expect us to believe wild stories like they donated to food shelves for years but now have no choice but use food shelves to feed themselves or that their teachers stuff their kids' backpacks with food items to get them through the weekend.
Everyone "knows" the helpless truly deserve assistance and the able bodied lazy absolutely do not but stories of folks caught in between have to be made up or highly exaggerated by socialist leftys.
