Really, the schadenfreude is delicious.
Alas, the libtard masses still won't take responsibility for their stupdity.
This week 1.3 million people will be losing unemployment benefits, which will be a disaster for them (just as food stamps are going away, too) and a drag on the economy overall.
WaPo has a map showing where the people losing benefits live. Wow, New Jersey is about to get slammed. What's up with that, Gov. Christie? Hasn't yelling at schoolteachers created more jobs?
LOL. That's The World's Worst Buddhist, aka "Maha," who seems to have to lost sight of the whole Peace and Love thing. Maha hates Tea Baggers. Blames us for all of society's ills. But has never stopped to consider that Obama is the reason for the malaise.
Want to create some jobs Maha? Repeal Obamacare. Deport illegal aliens. Cut corporate taxes. It worked under Reagan, and it'll work again even if the Kenyan usurper keeps playing golf on our dime.
But no, Maha sees curtailing lifetime unemployment benefits as akin to starving a million Irish to death.
When a million Irish died during the Great Famine of the 1850s, many in the English aristocracy said the peasants deserved to starve because their families were too big and indolent. The British baronet overseeing food relief felt that the famine was God's judgment, and an excellent way to get rid of surplus population. His argument on relief was the same one used by Rand Paul.
"The only way to prevent the people from becoming habitually dependent on government is to bring the operation to a close," Sir Charles Trevelyan said about the relief plan at a time when thousands of Irish a day were dropping dead from hunger.
Americans are dropping like flies? Do tell.
Let's try a little personal responsibility. You reap what you sow. You voted for government handouts, when you could have voted for individual liberty and economic growth. Sucks to be you, I guess. The fact is the government does not have infinite money. And you're not entitled to dime one anyway. Because the Constitution does not guarantee equality of outcome.
And your slam at Rand Paul is disingenous. He wants you to be less dependent on government, by showing you how to stand on your own two feet. Yeah, that's harder than showing up at the welfare office once a month, but in the long run it's more rewarding.
But commenter "Goatherd" takes the cake. He's holding out for a management position.
When I graduated from college unemployment in Florida, where I lived, was over 10%. It took me years to catch a break and get a job that offered any hope for advancement. There was a crisis and the non-profit I worked for went belly up. One thing I knew instinctively, was that if I took a job, delivering sandwiches or "any job" as our Randian overlords suggest, I would have thrown away any chance at ever finding a better life.
If you think spending too long a period looking for work, puts the "Mark of Cain" on your brow, try a little stint in "any job." People like Ryan have absolutely no idea how the world works, they don't have to, they don't live in it.
There is so much obtuseness there, I don't know where to start.
The non-profit he worked for went tits up. That seems implausible to me, given how the libtard elite love to fund the pipedreams of their minions. But in any event, delivering sandwiches was beneath him. Presumably because it offered insufficent opportunities for the raising of his consciousness. Putting food on the table was a secondary consideration, because Obama would provide. He must do Important Work, or wither on the vine.
As for his jibe at "people like [Paul} Ryan," take for example, me.
I started in "any job." Putting resistors into pc boards. 8 mind-numbing hours a day. Of course it helps that I didn't go to college to study "race" or "gender" or "activism" or any of the other useless liberal arts majors kids today are wasting their parents' money on. You reap what you sow. And I studied engineering and mathematics. Yeah, that stuff's hard. But guess what, hard work pays off.
I moved on up to running the solder machine. And soon enough I was talking to the professional engineers designing the circuit boards I was building. It helped that we spoke the same language. No that's not a cheap shot at the ESL crowd. We spoke engineer. And one of them suggested I utilize my math and logic skills in the then burgeoning field of computer science.
Did I work my ass off? You betcha. Was it easy? Nope. But it was totally worth every minute.
"Any job" is not the goal. "Any job" is the stepping stone. Because it instills in you the basic building blocks of success. Hard work. Perseverence. Responsibility. And most importantly, reward for your labor.
Why do I laugh at the Obama voters who lament their plight? Because they had a choice. They could have chosen the businessman, the person who spent his entire life creating opportunity. But no, they chose the demagogue, the man dedicated to fomenting class warfare. Because it's easier to envy the rich man than it is to work as hard as he works.
Alas, sooner or later you run out of other people's money. And when you do, yes, it's your fault. Not Paul Ryan's or Rand Paul's. And not mine.
Maha and his ilk chose poorly. Oops. Elections have consequences. And this
time the consequence is that their life sucks. Yeah, you guys "won." Look
up Pyrrhic Victory. You might learn something.
