The dead are an underrepresented group...therefore each of them should be able to vote as many times as necessary.

Just because you are dead doesn't mean you should lose your right to vote. "rlol"

Taking 90 billion out of the government sector and leaving it in the private sector may lose government jobs, but there will more private jobs created than government jobs lost.

The real example of "dumb as hammers" are the people who voted her into office. :thumbs2:

If they would cut welfare and the other entitlements that dominate the budget, maybe it would make a dent.

But then the voters who are locked into voting for the socialist party would have to get a job. It is much nicer to sit on your butt in front of the TV while the rest of us pay your bills. The government maintains its power over the people by making the people dependent upon them for their very survival.

You got me thinking about something: if they didn't pay these people to sit around, they indeed would have to get jobs...except there are no jobs for those sort of folks to do because the minimum wage prices unskilled people out of the market. Not to mention, all of our business-strangling regulations and taxes keep companies from wanting to expand, or make it hard for entrepreneurs to start new companies. If they didn't pay these people to sit around, I wonder what the REAL unemployment figure would be? :shock:

They would take that ten dollar an hour job that they refuse to take at this time. It is not my responsibility to support a person who chooses to remin unskilled. ;-)

They can go out and do what I would do and have done my whole life. WORK! There are jobs! Maybe not jobs these deadbeats want to take. But there are jobs.

I'm curious, do these dolts live in their districts? I don't have the answer, but I have an inkling.
