Govt. Pays Another Class of People For Doing Nothing: With Our Tax Money

THE DOCTOR IS IN
________________

LAS VEGAS - Hello America, and how is the world treating you?

Congress and Obama did it again-- providing a welfare state and a new class of people. They extended unemployment benefits for another whopping 13 months. Folks,most of these unemployed have been on the dole now for over two years. Each person collecting hundreds of dollars a week and these idiots in the administration and Congress dinged us working individuals again, -- to the tune of $57 million dollars for the 13 months. And, they do this at the time the country is racking up debt on debt.

True story: Recently, a friend of mine got a job for one of these unemployed persons on two different occasions.How did the unemployed person react? He quit both jobs after a few days on each and told my friend that the jobs only paid fifty ($50.00) more a week than the unemployment benefits he had been collecting and because of that it wasn't worth it to him to work the jobs when he could just stand in line and receive about the same amount of money.

This unemployed guy is no exception. I'm told that there are a lot of those that are collecting unemployment and feel the same, and do the same thing.

Since the recession started our lawmakers in Washington has extended the unemployment benefits,-- get this - -EIGHT TIMES. What do our Congress people say to rationalize this money grab. They go on television and say this is not the time to stop unemployment benefits because it is "around the holidays." Well, when is the time? In the summer these politicians will say, "the unemployed need a vacation with their families so let's not stop the benefits." When this round of benefits expire in 13 months it will be during the the holiday season again and you can bet the Congress, Reid, Pelosi and Obama will again say, "it's the holiday's and the wrong time to stop unemployment benefits.

Obama and his staff also said that extending the unemployment benefits for another year and one month "will create tens of thousands of new jobs." Are they kidding? How can paying people not to work create new jobs? Talk about a shell game - -this boondoggle scheme is it. People not working for two and three years is a drag on employment and yet, Obama and the administration try to sell the working people a bag of goods that has nothing in it.

Right now, we have this administration:
1. Paying million of people "Welfare benefits". Many of those welfare dollars are going to illegals and individuals who out and out lie on welfare applications in order to collect the welfare benefits.

2.There is this second class of freeloading people who claim to have been out of work for over two years and now they have over another year of benefits to look forward to. I've said it before and I'll say it again. When a person becomes unemployed they should be paid benefits (like it used to be years ago), 13 weeks of unemployment and ONE extension of another 13 weeks. That's it! I submit that anyone could find some type of job in 6 MONTHS. Come on.

Many of these unemployed people do not want to accept a job for less than they were making so they refuse to take any type of employment. Jobs are out there- for example, Wal-Mart,, fast food, restaurants, and many other venues. But these lazy individuals would rather sit home and take a free check once a week.

Believe it or not, from my research-- the longer a person is unemployed and is being subsidized by a government agency and/or family members, that unemployed person lacks the will to go out and take a job.

Basically, the government is enabling these unemployed and providing them a reason not to seek employment. The government has built another class of people in this nation and now those people look forward to receiving an unemployment check weekly and feel they are entitled to that check week after week.

My solution. Stop this crazy, bizarre give-a-way. Stop the unemployment extensions. When these people say they cannot find a job and actually know that they cannot stand in line and receive a free check (for doing nothing) they will go to work. If they have to eat and survive they will find some type of job or go to family members. If they do depend on family how long do you think their family members will put up with their sponging. Not long! The family will insist that they take some type of employment and, rightly so. Everyone has to contribute to society and the alleged "can't find a job people" will work when they have to face reality.

It's sad that our lawmakers continue to give particular groups a free pass. This nonsense once started, will go on and on. Once the program is started it gets a life of it's own and never dies. My view, enough is enough.

The one's paying the price here are all of the hard working people that are employed and having to carry these lazy people on their tab. I've seen single mom's and dads working in small restaurants, gas stations and 7-11's, making minimum wage just so they can support and provide for their kids. Hell, minimum wage is over $8.00 an hour and that's not peanuts and can provide a person with pride of having a job and feeding themselves and family. And, that's my opinion. Make your own decisions. You decide.
