THEY JUST EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS?!?!
The media tells us we're in a recession, possibly heading towards a depression.
I dispute this. I think we are at a crossroads. A crossroads where two different agendas are colliding.
Agenda A consists of hard working Americans who pay taxes, who work because that's what they were taught to do by their family and their nation, who are generally happy and fulfilled in their lives.
Agenda B consists of people who don't work, but not because they can't find a job. It's because they just don't want to work. They find it easier to claim unemployment. They find it easier to file for Medicaid. They find it easier to avoid minimum wage job offers. Government handouts are a dime a dozen these days, and these are the people who capitalize and work the fetid system.
The main issue in America is that we used to fully support Agenda A. People often refer to these times as "the good ole days". But not anymore. Americans now are growing up on these principles of laziness and entitlement. The worst part of all? These principles are now government funded though socialist policies. The government will support you if you are lazy, or poor, or feel entitled to "free money".
This money isn't free, though. Agenda A has to front the bill. Many people get this whole situation wrong and blame the rich people for trying to evade taxes. Quit being dumbasses, people. All of our money goes to the same place, and supports the same thing: laziness and mediocrity.
I am not a millionaire, nor do I even claim to have that goal. But I know one thing. If I made millions of dollars a year, because I worked to get to that point in society, why the fuck should I pay 30% or more of my income to support lazy people? I actually sympathize with the rich in this country.
Americans: You are NOT entitled to "the American Dream". You are NOT entitled to a typical American "standard of living", regardless of whether you have a job or not.
You are entitled to an equal opportunity of employment so that one day, if you work hard, you will have these things that we Americans covet.

I'll summarize. "If you were laid off in the past two years it is because you're lazy and stupid. You want to be unemployed so you spend your days drinking champagne and eating lobster. Go die you ass because you are part of my deluded world view."
Working in IT for all my adult life I have been through enough down turns and restructurings to know the the mythical laid off person who wants to be unemployed is a F******g lie made up by selfish uncaring assholes. Unemployment is not enough to feed a family but it is enough to pay for the cost of finding a job.
I have a friend who was out for two years. He did not drive WAMU into bankruptcy or let it get bought out by Chase. He just happened to be on the receiving end of that cluster fuck. The unemployment in his area is higher than average so he retained during that time to be more marketable. The vast majority of people I know who have been out of work fit into this bucket and none of them fit into your type B.

I am in college, after I served for four years.
I could have went to school for free, considering I come from a dirt poor family. Instead I chose to work for what I have.
I'm 23, have a 4.0 in Computer Science at UNCW, have plans on going to grad school, and worked my ass off in the Marine Corps, serving twice in places you only see in movies like "Blackhawk Down", to get to where I am today.
I exemplify Agenda A. Start with absolutely fucking nothing, and make something of it.
If you people disagree with what I have to say, which I'm assuming most of you are Agenda B, you are fucking dense. You have no concept of money and how these decisions on social welfare programs now are affecting our future policies. Fucking morons like you have ruined this country.

I never said that serving in the military made my point valid. I was simply exemplifying that I had the choice to take the easy route, to get free money for college; but I chose to work for everything I have. That is the American spirit. Most people today choose welfare.
I know that people get laid off, and there are periods of transition. I estimate probably 80% of Agenda A are employed, while the other 20% are unemployed through no fault of their own, and are transitioning.
OBVIOUSLY I'm not fucking ragging on these people, dumbass. You missed my point ENTIRELY. The point is, there are MILLIONS of people out there who are cheating the system of unemployment, medicaid and other social welfare programs. Remember that ACORN scandal not too long ago? That shit wasn't a fluke or some isolated incident. People are operating under those principles daily.
Most of you tards have no clue how easy it is to claim this stuff and get away with it. My girlfriend has to deal with Medicaid patients all day, who by LAW have to be given NAME BRAND EXPENSIVE drugs, but they come in and bitch about a 3 dollar co-pay, while swinging their freshly manacured 9 inch pink nails all in the face of hard working people.

Agenda A has some people who don't work, because they are in transition.
I don't decide if you are in Agenda A or Agenda B. That is something that you have to decide for yourself. What I'm trying to convey is that there are people who purposefully don't get jobs to collect social welfare benefits. Is that fucking easy enough for you understand?

The hard part is when you graduate college, have to find a job, get a place of your own, start paying back the student loan(s).

Found this on 4chan. Some guy ranting.
Okay, America is officially a horrible country.
I'm 38 years old, and have been unemployed since about January 09. It's not like I'm sitting around all day not looking for a job. Every day I look for jobs that are well beneath my qualifications and experience, and time after time I get turned down.
Last night I had heard that unemployment benefits were extended, but only to the newly unemployed. What the hell. What about those of us who have been unemployed, and can't find any jobs due to the economy? I have a 10 year old daughter I have to take care of, and now I don't know what I'll do. We wont be getting any benefits, and I can't find a job anywhere.
When I was employed, I was making 3k a month, then when I was unemployed I started making 600 a month, had to move into a small apartment, and get only the necessary things. I didn't mind. At least my daughter had food and a roof. But now we aren't going to get shit.
And why didn't Obama mention this when he said he's "Sympathetic to the unemployed" when he said he was going to extend the benefits?
That is an Agenda A guy who is unemployed through no fault of his own. But notice how he is LOOKING , actively. I feel bad for guys like that. Agenda A, all the way.
This is all you faggots...

Logic dispute? Prepare to lose.
1. The military PAID me for four years for my service. If you think that being in the military isn't the "real world", then lulz. Go to Iraq, and you can see what is real and what is not. Also note, everything the military "gives" you, you actually pay for. Housing, dental, health. You pay for all shit, which is why spending 7 months in a combat zone only nets you about 12,000 dollars. I Lol'd when I heard what Blackwater / other PMC's made for similar jobs.
2. Actually a junior in college. I take about 16 credit hours a semester including summers, well past "gen. ed." courses in my degree. Somehow I managed to do all this within a year, year and a half? I'm actually about to get my first B. Sort of raging.
3. I have no student debt, because if you give four years of your life to your nation, they deem it worthwhile to pay for your education. I guess that makes up for the terrible salary for four years.
4. My girlfriend, soon to be fiance, soon to be wife, and I already bought our own house. It's nothing special, only like 220k , but really nice for a starter home.
5. If I'm not in the real world, please direct me there...haha.
6. Well, I did actually serve, that picture is of me in Fallujah the second go around, 3-6 Kilo Company. Thank you for your support. But no need to thank me, I got paid to do what I did.

If you have nothing, then why did you buy an 800,000 dollar house?

Maybe, in the future, the government will send you bigger welfare check so you can keep it.
FUCKING BADDIE.
The bank has collateral. If they aren't ready to take over the house in case of default, they shouldn't be in the business. And the bank shouldn't have loosened their standards for extending credit. There's culpability on both sides.
Hell, my bank bent over backwards to get me into my current house. I had a decent sized personal loan with a family member that was going to extend for a year or so after I bought the house. Since it wasn't "on the books" per se, the bank ignored it. They looked at my income level and couldn't get a deal done quickly enough.
Do you have a mortgage, Private Pyle? Why? Why did you buy a house you couldn't afford to pay for in cash? Why did you need someone else's help to get you that house?
These are rhetorical questions by the way. Lord knows I do enjoy your generalizations, so keep pumping them out!

Ubermom, I am not sure why you think that most people on this forum are going to agree with you. This is a game forum. An MMO game forum. Most of these guys sit around the house all day playing GAMES. They spend their RL playing fake life. They are currently on, or have been on, public assistance. They probably work minimum wage jobs. They do not plan for tomorrow. They live for the moment at everyone else's expense. They will tell you otherwise, but they know the truth that is their pathetic lives. They cannot accept responsibility. They want everything handed to them. If they cannot get it they blame all of the rich people and the ones that have a measure of success. Self accountability is as foreign to them as a job. If you cannot find a job in two years, you are not trying...period. Get off your lazy asses and get a different vocation. Move to a different area that has jobs in your field. Reinvent yourself. Two years is too long. Make all the excuses you want you lazy POS and stop living off of the system. The people that work are not responsible for your pathetic asses. And if you think they are then maybe we should be able to tell you how to live your lives. I think that is fair. If we pay your way, then we get to tell you how to live. Just like your mommies and daddies did when you were babies. Ok I am done now. Flame away libtards. Tell me how I am wrong. That is all you guys are good for. Solving your own problems is not your forte'.

I could have went to school for free, considering I come from a dirt poor family.
So you pay for your school then? Got it.
3. I have no student debt, because if you give four years of your life to your nation, they deem it worthwhile to pay for your education. I guess that makes up for the terrible salary for four years.
O, you don't pay for your education then? I grant you did work for it by serving our country (thank you for this weather you want a TY or not)
Also note, everything the military "gives" you, you actually pay for. Housing, dental, health. You pay for all shit, which is why spending 7 months in a combat zone only nets you about 12,000 dollars.
Now Im confused again, you do pay for your education?
Im just confused and trying to keep up
PS- My lil brother is a active Marine and the amount of cash he has saved CAUSE of being in the military is amazing, he's pointed out to me several times that most of his buddies in the corp burn there money on leave and/or going to bars every chance they get.........this now now now, me me me attitude is whats killing our nation, instead of throwing shit on the fire, come up with something that fixes the situation......

Well, her name is on the house. If anything went wrong, I would just move out into an apartment, and we would split the belongings as we already have planned. We buy things off/on. I buy a tv, she buys a couch, etc. This way if anything happens, the breakup would be painless. She would have a hell of a time paying full rent, but she makes really good money, so she could manage that.
After we are married, we plan to use my VA Loan for our upgraded house. This will happen when I'm done with school and well into my career. Then the new house will be in my name, so I can get the reduced interest rate, and I will make her my stay at home housewife.
Really not that hard. In one year we made enough to almost buy the house outright. Of course we didn't put that much into it, but ... in any situation we could afford this home. We could have went bigger, but that would have been a mistake. Don't bite off more than you can chew.

THEY JUST EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS?!?!
The media tells us we're in a recession, possibly heading towards a depression.
I dispute this. I think we are at a crossroads. A crossroads where two different agendas are colliding.
Agenda A consists of hard working Americans who pay taxes, who work because that's what they were taught to do by their family and their nation, who are generally happy and fulfilled in their lives.
Agenda B consists of people who don't work, but not because they can't find a job. It's because they just don't want to work. They find it easier to claim unemployment. They find it easier to file for Medicaid. They find it easier to avoid minimum wage job offers. Government handouts are a dime a dozen these days, and these are the people who capitalize and work the fetid system.
The main issue in America is that we used to fully support Agenda A. People often refer to these times as "the good ole days". But not anymore. Americans now are growing up on these principles of laziness and entitlement. The worst part of all? These principles are now government funded though socialist policies. The government will support you if you are lazy, or poor, or feel entitled to "free money".
This money isn't free, though. Agenda A has to front the bill. Many people get this whole situation wrong and blame the rich people for trying to evade taxes. Quit being dumbasses, people. All of our money goes to the same place, and supports the same thing: laziness and mediocrity.
I am not a millionaire, nor do I even claim to have that goal. But I know one thing. If I made millions of dollars a year, because I worked to get to that point in society, why the fuck should I pay 30% or more of my income to support lazy people? I actually sympathize with the rich in this country.
Americans: You are NOT entitled to "the American Dream". You are NOT entitled to a typical American "standard of living", regardless of whether you have a job or not.
You are entitled to an equal opportunity of employment so that one day, if you work hard, you will have these things that we Americans covet.
Summary: I listen to right wing propaganda. I don't care about other human beings. If a dollar had a dick, I'd suck it. The end.

Why are you referring to people who abuse social welfare their entire lives as "down and out Americans?"
Apparently you are all middle class white males who have no clue as to the extent that American social welfare policies are extorted.
It is these policies of "free money if your can't make it yourself" that GIVE WAY to the billion dollar bailouts we've seen.
Americans seem to think money is just created out of thin air. If you need it, the government can pull it out of their piggy bank and toss you some. That is not how it works. When the federal reserve loans our government money, to give to worthless American peoples, they put severe interest on it. (Federal Reserve, though it has the word Federal in it, is actually a private bank)
Since we have habitually abused these notions of free money, our national debt, and interest on that debt, is out of control. Hence, taxes WILL NEVER go down from where they are now, because we've already committed the crime of asking the Fed for too much money.
But, if you feel like your not paying enough in taxes already, feel free to support welfare program and other social policies, as well as the next bailout.
I'm sure there are plenty of "down and out" Americans who would like some "free" money.

It is our house. I didn't put my name on it because I'm saving my credit for the VA loan, which is SUPER low interest. You probably have no idea how that loan works, or what it even is, because your bad at life. I'm not going to take the time to explain it to you, either.

Dude. Why do you equate Republicans with people who don't care? Class warfare much. I am a proud Republican. I give to multiple charities. I donate time to causes that I believe in. Can you say the same? Doubt it. Democrats, in my experience, are the ones that are self centered. They talk the talk, but NEVER walk the walk. They want everyone else to give, give, give, but they rarely, if ever, do the same. They take, take, take. It is a statistical fact that Republicans give to charities more than democrats. They also pay more taxes on the whole then democrats do. I think it is the democrats that do not care about people.
Also to defame Uber's service to this country is majorly weak. Just like you...majorly weak.

Most economists, even batshit neoconservative ones, agree on the following figures: Welfare spending has a fiscal multiplier of around 1.5, while military spending has a fiscal multiplier of 0.8.
What does that mean? It means that for every $1 that the U.S. government spends on welfare, we get $1.50 back in GDP. For every $1 that our government spends on military spending, we get back $0.80.
Now, if you had a choice of giving $1.00 to a person, and getting $1.50 back, or giving $1.00 to a second person, and getting $0.80 back, which would you choose? And which type of spending would be the bigger contributor of why we're in debt?

But... welfare is for ******s and wetbacks, right? What would Glenn Beck say?

THEY JUST EXTENDED UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS?!?!
The media tells us we're in a recession, possibly heading towards a depression.
I dispute this. I think we are at a crossroads. A crossroads where two different agendas are colliding.
Agenda A consists of hard working Americans who pay taxes, who work because that's what they were taught to do by their family and their nation, who are generally happy and fulfilled in their lives.
Agenda B consists of people who don't work, but not because they can't find a job. It's because they just don't want to work. They find it easier to claim unemployment. They find it easier to file for Medicaid. They find it easier to avoid minimum wage job offers. Government handouts are a dime a dozen these days, and these are the people who capitalize and work the fetid system.
The main issue in America is that we used to fully support Agenda A. People often refer to these times as "the good ole days". But not anymore. Americans now are growing up on these principles of laziness and entitlement. The worst part of all? These principles are now government funded though socialist policies. The government will support you if you are lazy, or poor, or feel entitled to "free money".
This money isn't free, though. Agenda A has to front the bill. Many people get this whole situation wrong and blame the rich people for trying to evade taxes. Quit being dumbasses, people. All of our money goes to the same place, and supports the same thing: laziness and mediocrity.
I am not a millionaire, nor do I even claim to have that goal. But I know one thing. If I made millions of dollars a year, because I worked to get to that point in society, why the fuck should I pay 30% or more of my income to support lazy people? I actually sympathize with the rich in this country.
Americans: You are NOT entitled to "the American Dream". You are NOT entitled to a typical American "standard of living", regardless of whether you have a job or not.
You are entitled to an equal opportunity of employment so that one day, if you work hard, you will have these things that we Americans covet.
Would you rate yourself as fat or simply morbidly obese? Also, you sound like a reasonable human being.

Uberom, do support getting rid of welfare entirely? Or just only allowing it for the worst off in society (the elderly, disabled, etc.)? If so, why not have a two tier welfare system, just give it out to those who can't work, and for those who just won't work, put them on a "work for welfare" plan (I think some states do this - basically you get welfare cheques but they pressure you to get a job and at some point I believe they stop giving you money entirely if you're lazy, or just too picky about jobs). Would this be preferable?

Debates about politics on MMORPG message boards always show me what excellent and well-adjusted people play these games.

The military is a sweet deal, and if you actually served, thank you, but we both know they do everything short of wiping your own ass...
Uh.. wha? Damn, I missed this when I was in the military...
Oh, and if you use the GI bill, that means no student loans enless you're going to a private school that is 100k a year.

What about people working minimum wage jobs who are on welfare and medicaid because minimum wage isn't enough to support their families?
They are akin to places you see on the commercials that try to get you to donate to save the starving children...
They live in a barren area.. they have nothing... they are all starving...
BUT THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE CHILDREN WTF!?!?!?!?!
If you're scraping along on minimum wage.. then maybe you shouldn't be pumping out children.
I don't want to pay for your poor judgement.
