I'm surprised any American is still going to work. :P
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

I just show up to surf languish.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

How do I get on that gravy train?  :hmm:

You need to talk to my sister. The one who has relied a fair share on welfare and charity herself. To the point, as my other sister explained, that they were referred from one church charity to another because she and her family kept draining resources.

I suppose it is a consistent message, at least.  She despises other welfare recipients for draining resources that could go to her.  :P

He visits his doctor regularly? Medicaid must be vastly better than my insurance.

IR is a pretty damn good insurance. Know a guy on it. They pay for everything, only time Medicaid balks is when a new expensive medication is proscribed. Get surgery? No problem.

May be different in other states however. Ohio's is a pretty sweet deal.

Clearly, welfare is too generous in the US.  :rolleyes:

That reminds me of my political conversations with my sister.  I will constantly be cornered with statements I have to agree with.  Statements that are neither here nor there and completely irrelevant, but the connotation is that once I agree with them I concede a major point.

So that's where your posting style came from.  :P

Well if they want to cancel all welfare they are welcome to do so. Nobody can stop them now.

Yes, because there's so much of it.
