Somerhing else I didn't write but I love

Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day. Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there, so I asked her, "If you were President what would

be the first thing you would do?" She replied... "I'd give food and houses to all the homeless people." Her parents beamed with pride! "Wow...what a worthy goal!" I said. "But you don't have to wait until you're President to do that!" I told her. "What do you mean?" she replied. So I told her, "You can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds, and trim my hedge, and I'll pay you $50. Then you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use toward food and a new house." She thought that over for a few seconds, then she looked me straight in the eye and asked, "Why doesn't the homeless guy come over and do the work, and you can just pay him the $50?" I said, "Welcome to the Republican Party." Her parents aren't speaking to me anymore.

That's a good one. Thanks, Kayla!

The great thing about conservatism is, that it's really just common sense. The sad thing is, half the country has no common sense.

Gosh, if 100% of my income went to homeless people, i'd be pissed too.

Too bad for your point it doesn't.

If we cut off all welfare benefits to able bodied people, you'd soon see Americans harvesting crops, mowing yards and cleaning houses, all those jobs the illegal aliens are doing, because Americans just won't do them.

By paying people not to work, we create a shortage of low skilled workers. That shortage is being filled by illegal aliens.

Both parties only serve the Federal Reserve share holders.
What about the trillions in banker and corporate welfare that the left & the right BOTH support?

Left Right blah blah blah... The same BS every four years.
Carter is a nut and so is his national security advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski who writes books about how he created al-Qaeda. No, blame Reaganomics! it's Bush stupid and his dad Prescott. One of seven directors of Union Banking Corp... they funded Hitler! Well, Clinton balanced the budget and created jobs! Does no matter if the money came from the general fund, social security. Plus Al Gore invented the internet! That's why there were so many jobs! Bush 43 is an idiot, blame him and Cheney for ordering the stand down orders on 9-11. While Bush 41 and Clinton fish together.
NO!!! Blame Obama!!! He is a socialist destroying our economy... even though the Federal Reserve runs our economy not presidents.
And on and on and on....

Or, an alternative, fictional ending.

I said, "Because, dumb-ass, he has a severe mental disease and both his legs have been amputated."

Actually a significant percentage, approximately 22%, of the chronically homeless have genuine mental health issues like schizophrenia. These people used to be institutionalized before the liberals forced their release from the sanitariums.

Yes, I was stationed in New England when the New York state court case come up with that decision. Because of Cuomo every mental institution in the country opened their doors and let out people without survival skills. Then they turned around and blamed this new thing on Reagan.
