The answer is to inject some pride into the slackers that abuse the system. But that takes a HUGE social change, and that will never happen. While I feel for the people that truly need the SSI system I shutter every time i see a perfectly healthy person cashing the SSI check each month, and I say healthy because I see them out and about doing normal everyday activities week in and week out (live in a small town). I have to wonder why I get up and work every day 9 plus hours a day just to do OK when these folks are waking up at 10:am and only doing as they wish on MY tax money.

This SSI abuse is only one tiny part of this Countries problems, but they all have the same root. Big Government handing out money$$ to get votes and that is not restricted to “entitlement programs” look at construction jobs on public works, defense contracts and the “arts” , what we as a country have done is to allow slackers a way to make a living out of the “system”.

Thomas Jefferson said “We should not make a man comfortable in poverty” and it seems we have made a whole slew of people comfortable and in poverty. But if we had not then the Democrats and “Progressive Republicans” would have no one to “help”.

So who do we blame them or us, we voted ……even if we did not go to the poles.
