More money remitted out of the private-sector economy means more job losses and job losses mean reduced household incomes. Once household incomes start going down the dependency upon the government is increased. That my friends is how progressive politics works. Don't worry about where it comes from, just worry about how you will look spending other people's money to create more people who are forced to support you because they have no choice. Now that's real democracy. This creates a vicious cycle. More money remitted out of the private-sector economy means more job losses and job losses mean reduced household incomes.

They were not good for the poor or the people on hard times. Remember how he got us out of the recession he spent almost 3trillion dollars. At the time it was the biggest debt this country had seen. Government cheese. I had worked in the Steel Mill for seven years and the bottom fell out. I got my unemployment and cheese. I had a new born and I couldn't get food stamps, or should I say I could have gotten 22 dollars It cost me about ten or twelve dollars in gas to go get them. Never be ashamed of getting help. I don't care what kind of car you have or the house you live in, if you need help take what you "NEED" and leave the rest to the next person. Do you remember the Regan years?

Welfare programs make people totally dependent on the government. These programs are meant to provide aide for people who are down on their luck. They were never intended to become a way of life for several generations of Americans. ““You’re creating a cycle of government dependency,” said Tad DeHaven”

But if taxes weren't so high and spending on socialist boondoggles weren't so high it wouldn't be as bad. You got it bad. That sucks but its not my problem and I should not have to be burdened with it. I'd rather give people a job then a hand out. But thats just me. I'm sick of having my money taken from me and given away to people. I want it given back to me. I worked for it. I have a very good idea.

Hang in there Ben don't let these a$$holes get to you things will get better. The only parasite is one who chastises (shows how small and insignificant they really are) those trying their very best to make their way through tough times.

I really hate Obama and hate that I am unemployed, but the standards do need to be lowered. In New York my unemployment check exceeds the income requirement. I have savings of $20. I have to say it would be welcome news to lower the eligibility. What makes it even worse is watching the person in front of me in line pull out their benefit card to pay for their groceries and then drive away in their Lexus SUV while I walk home. So lower standards and police who is getting benefits. Please don't call me a parasite. Hire me, I will relocate. I am smart and hard working.
