What was the name of the idiot news reader on the old Mary Tyler Moore show? Ah, Ted Baxter! This is what Rush calls him. Every once in a while he seems to wake up just a little, but then...
Well as the old saying goes, “even a broken clock is RIGHT twice a day.”
He had throw that one in to keep his NY-DC street cred and "fairness".
Do me a favor. Comment on the subject, not on the author. You are a waste
“According to the Census Bureau, more people in America today are on welfare than have full-time jobs. There is a culture of dependency being created that is truly shocking. A recent study by the Cato Institute concludes that welfare now pays more than minimum-wage work in 35 states. So why enter the workforce at the bottom if the government will give you the same compensation for sitting on your butt?”
The reason to work (even if the wages are low) are to avoid being housed in a wekfare reservation. I have no sympathy for lazy people who lose their children to the violence of these reservations because they didn’t want to get off their butts and work. While FReepers are rightly disgusted by our multi-generational parasite population, nobody would want to trade places with them; they accept life in a war zone in return for sitting on their duffs and swelling to 400 lbs. - consequences for their “golden ticket” bastards be damned.
Bill is just now discovering the “culture of dependency”? That topic was heatedly discussed forty years ago or more when LBJ’s War On Poverty reached fruition with many millions of people added to the welfare rolls by its passage. We all know the drill...conservatives will (rightly) bemoan the waste of taxpayer money and the loss of dignity. The liberals will respond by calling conservatives mean-spirited uh meanies who want to take the bread out of starving babies’ mouths. Nothing ever changes.
Actually, what that was once true, it is no longer. All over the country welfare project housing has been demolished and replaced by Section 8 housing. Ever since Newt Gingrich's time as Speaker, the US Government has been slowly, methodically, incrementally expanding that program while demolishing 'standard public housing projects'. EVERYWHERE. They now infiltrate suburbia by paying nearly all the rent for a 'client' in nice areas, in houses that nearly always start out as 'nice," too. Most get TANF, WICs (for children under 5), SNAP, EITC, etc. and their incomes aren't really verified. In East Cobb, Georgia the government systematically started changing the demographics as revenge against Newt Gingrich's former district. Today, you have that area with million dollar home enclaves surrounded by big, older subdivisions that are replete with Section 8 recipients. That's one of the main reasons I moved from there 12 years ago.
Rush called him “bill baxter” yesterday and it has a much deeper sting to it!
Sez who. They did it by mistreating the poor, especially minorities, especially blacks. /s
Excellent point, and neither have I.
We’re repeating the mistakes of Communists around the world.
40 years ago, would be 1973. He was still in school then, but how do you know he just found out about this?
Thank the rats for it and also those who rather sit at home instead of making sure the rat party becomes the majority party
It's not just disgraceful...
"If a man does not choose to work, neither shall he eat." --St. Paul
This has to be the least preached-on verse in the Bible.
I doubt that they associate cause and effect. I'm sure the majority of them place the blame elsewhere. And we all know their list of usual suspects.
Bill removed his lips from Obamas ass long enough to write this..
I’m neither amused or fooled by Bill O’Really..

All what that arrogant pos occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave deserves is disrespect, because he himself does not respect the office.
Chalk it up to human nature.
Sad to see decades of hard work squandered on a bunch of spoiled children, as it were.
