HRH Obama wants you to remain unemployed, unless you are employed by a union. That's why unemployment checks will go on in perpetuity, if he has his way. What is it, 2, 3 years now? Once you get someone accustomed to being idle and shiftless, they will remain so, as long as they get that check every month. Naturally, they'll vote for the party that makes it possible for them to remain idle and shiftless. Of course, if they can land a union job, all the better. They can work at obscenely inflated wages and their dues, and votes, will go to the democrat party. How simple does it have to be? There are no shades of gray here. I work with a die-hard democrat, and although he's reasonably intelligent, when it comes to political and economic realities, dumb as a rock. Blind and proud, sadly. For some reason, a budget, which people should do to get by, is magically transformed when it comes to the federal government. Apparently, government isn't ruled by such a common-sense issue, and money grows on trees. Why budget when you can rob we, the people? I wish these geniuses would figure out that when over half the country is getting unemployment, the whole system will screech to a halt. 2 more years, oh Lord. Let us hang on for 2 more years, and we can get this insane s.o.b. out of the White House and elect someone with some common sense.
