My problem is I don't know when he's faking or when he's not. This whole episode may just be a ruse to shore up his diminishing conservative base.
the leftist politicans who purposely spent us into oblivion to bring in freeloaders and govt trough feeders in order to get elected are the pestilience. I do not blame people for acting rationally. It does not make senses to get a starter job if you lose benefits. It does not make sense to work hard for low pay at first and support your kids if your childs mother can collect as much money without you working. It does make sense to go work for the gov't if you are going to get a retirement worth millions and a pay check which is better than most in the private sector. its the politicians who were the criminals.
that is the problem with govt handouts they need to have incentives to get people off them. I suggest they go down .5 percent a week to a pretty low level for able bodied people.
