Obama drives people crazy

I've always suspected this.


Being unemployed for too long reportedly is driving people mad and costing taxpayers billions of dollars in mental illness and other disability claims.

The New York Post reported Sunday that as unemployment checks run out, many jobless are trying to gain government benefits by declaring themselves unhealthy.

saw a documentary about all the kids living in poverty in usa ... apparently 1.5 million ... bloody disgraceful really ..

HAHAHHA! So funny! Another bad obama slap.

Hey - he wants people unemployed and totally reliant on the government. Massive 'welfare state.' It's all part of his greater plan.

Get out of your caves, America! OPEN your eyes!!

Well, they get extra welfare money for each of their offspring. It's a motivation for them to collect more free gravy train money -- and totally reject and starve their children. They sell their welfare money for crack. There's the poverty. Self-inflicted. And terribly disgusting.

well... that is a well used argument when it comes to child poverty ... oh and homelessness too if i remember correctly ... i'm sure you're right for a percentage of the 1.5 million .. but welfare fraud can't account for trhem all .... i should imagine unemployment must have pushed many into poverty and homelessness .... but what really irritates and disappoints me is that a country such as america ( land of opportunity ) with all it's wealth ... allows many of it's citizens to fall into the mire

Have you ever heard the expression about teaching a man to fish?

yes of course ... but that only works if the lake has enough fish

Our economy tanked under Bush. Our unemployment rate began to rise under Bush.

Did he drive you crazy also?

(And forget the "you Dems....." come back, I am an independent and just asking....)

And if it doesn't -- you give up and die there? Don't go looking for another lake?

lets be honest about this ... in the usa you have a bunch of people with nets that drag out so much fish .. many more fish than they'll ever need ... and a growing number of people end up with little tiddlers or no fish at all .... and the over fishers like nothing better than declaring .. ' i have created a huge net ... any one can create a huge net ... so , why don't those people create a huge net ?... oh .. it must be because they are either cheaters or beggars or lazy or commies! ' .... i sometimes suspect that such societies are happy to have a visible community of so called 'failures ' ... otherwise the over 'succesful '.. would have nothing to measure their immense wealth and achievement with .

Who does stuff like that?

The lowest life forms. Sadly.

Sometimes the TRUTH hurts!

Studies put the drug use of individuals on welfare below 10%, not counting alcohol.

[Note: There are studies that use a much higher %, but they typically include alcohol. The National Poverty Center noted, "Only a small minority of recipients (about 4 percent) satisfied the diagnostic screening criteria for illicit drug dependence"]

Rep Governor Rick Scott puts the figure in Florida closer to 2%. (These numbers based in part on drug tests.)

While those noted percentages are NOT a good thing, it strongly suggests that 90% (or more) of individuals on welfare are NOT "spending their welfare money for crack".

That's funny.
