Well, I have a cousin and he’s married, and both are on SSI, neither work and they seem gloriously happy with their lives. Their life is a constant road trip, with not a care in the world.
It must be nice living off of other peoples money....
“It must be nice living off of other peoples money....”
Yeah Sporke...the one thing that I have noticed is that there doesn’t seem to be any feeling of guilt on the part of these folks anymore. When I was a youngster we had a “housing project” in our small town, but it was thought of as somewhat shameful to live there and folks moved out as soon as they could get a job and a normal place. Nowadays it seems to be totally accepted. And the folks I’m talking about aren’t surviving on cheap hotdogs - they slow cook ribs and brisket all afternoon long. To be honest - they don’t seem to be evil people - they always smile and wave - even offer me a rib or two. They are just very comfortable with being able to live off of the dole. Getting a job just doesn’t seem to be a priority for them.
