Well, my job did give me a free water bottle yesterday and a t-shirt with their logo on it so I guess I do. Well good for you. Too bad there aren't several tens of million others like you. Only time I needed assistance was when I got laid off and had to draw unemployment. Funny, I found another job because I looked for one. I fonly it were about a bottle and t-shirt.

Well, I have run across a few in my lifetime. Some people use unemployment as an excuse to go on welfare and food stamps. Don't try to sugar-coat it.

Saying you want to work and actually working are two distinctly different things. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also heard a CEO being interviewed on the Business Channel about two years ago who said his company interviewed 3 people about a job opening. When asked when they would be available if the company chose them for the position, the answer happened to coincide EXACTLY with the date that unemployment benefits ran out.

I have no doubt whatsoever that those who don't want to work come from all over the political spectrum. My problem is we have a system that encourages rather than discourages it. I don't think you have a clue about what percentage is involved, but go ahead and believe your contention if you wish. Not working has become a generational issue that seems to perpetuate itself. A good indicator is the record amount of food stamps being used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congress steals more than people on food stamps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait patiently to be told why it is "different' this time. Just as it was unpatriotic and irresponsible for Bush to increase the debt by 5 trillion ( unpatriotic and irresponsible were candidate Obama's SPECIFIC words available on many youtube videos) but to increase it after that by 9 trillion is, somehow, a different story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
