   The unemployment figures released by the labor pencil pushers do not include   
   those who are no longer eligible for bennies or havent filed for them.

   The problem with welfare is it creates a dependency, and one develops a   
   rationale that the reason they got onto it, is reason enough to perpetually   
   stay on it.   
      
   The person I directed the question too, having not had an employment history   
   long enough (40 qtrs) to remotely qualify for Social Security Benefits and he   
   is older than I, has to go out and get Federal Welfare. (Yet has many luxuries   
   that those with jobs cant afford). The rub here is, this welfare wanker   
   criticizes people who have not approached his own level of failure, for the   
   things they do or have did to earn a living.   
      
   To me the equation is simple, if you are living off of the taxes of others,   
   keep your fuggin mouth shut as to the methods others have used to earn that   
   taxed income. (everything in the world of legal of course)   
      
   There are other things to add in, but the recipient of welfare should show   
   more humility.
