29. Regarding working/self sufficiency they preach, They need to get their stories straight

Sun Dec 15, 2013, 03:09 PM

Dec 2013

They'll say either ( or both, their memories are so short )

-- "Get a job you lazy bums, I'm tired of my tax money supporting you"

-- "It's Obama's fault there's an unemployment problem....blah blah blah"

So which is it? They can't have it both ways.

Though a good one, I wish the rant went a bit further: How can conservatives castigate people for being unemployed ( or underemployed and poor and thus needing assistance ) when it's the very economic policies that put downward pressure on labor and/or offshoring that they push with a fervor that CREATED the loss of employment!?

I know racism and troglodytic social issue memes serve to affect their thinking but regarding econmics, it's such a clear cut case event the most hate-filled ignoramus can see it.
