People who aren’t lazy work. Is that so hard to understand?

The lawsuit filed in 1997 cited Article 4 of the Constitution, which says that the United States “shall protect each of [the states] against invasion.” But U.S. District Judge Judith Keep in San Diego and the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco threw out the lawsuit on grounds that California and Arizona are not being “invaded” by a hostile, foreign power.

My guess is the same thing would happen again.

Invasion doesn't require armament, or even hostility, see definitions #2, #3, and #4:

invasion

noun
1. an act or instance of invading or entering as an enemy, especially by an army.
2. the entrance or advent of anything troublesome or harmful, as disease.
3. entrance as if to take possession or overrun: the annual invasion of the resort by tourists.
4. infringement by intrusion.

If a governor had the balls to declare a state of invasion, then I'd think he'd have the balls to issue warrants for arrest/trial of Treason to such judicial pronouncements.

interesting

The slope of the Shadow stats is positive While the U6 slope is negative.

There is a growing discrepancy......... perhaps criminal growth.

If you know the system You can mooch for generations.

There are plenty of “advisers” to help you find your way around the system

It’s pathetic.

How are the 92 million able to live? You can only mooch for so long.

Not everyone mooches. Hubby was laid off in September. Because we've always been frugal and lived below our means, we're able to live on my salary. He thought about looking for another job, but after we weighed all the variables, it just didn't make sense for him to try to find a job just to work for the couple more years before retirement, and pay whopping taxes to boot. He's not getting unemployment. Next time you want to paint everyone who ended up out of the job market as a moocher, let's see your family take a two-thirds pay cut without warning, not take any government hand-outs, and see how you do.
