The New Welfare Queen

In the worst recession since the
Great Depression, those collecting unemployment insurance while looking for work are accused of gaming the system--not fighting
for survival.

In other words, according to Senator John Kyl of Arizona, we are the new Welfare Queens.

Really now Mr. Kyl? Are you sure you want to go there?

Shamefully, Kyl claims, "...continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work."

When you consider the millions out of work, feverishly searching--and the mere fact that they've paid into the system--perhaps for years--Kyl reduces struggling Americans to people simply looking for a handout.

Wow. Let me articulate while I attempt to contain my rage.

If this smug jackass, do-nothing, party-of-no, obstruction-happy, nihilist, government-administered-insurance-beneficiary thinks that a few hundred dollars a week is a satisfactory substitute for a real salary or working wage that would dissuade millions from looking for work--maybe he should join the ranks himself.

Surely he'd give up his $174,000 per year to enjoy the life of unemployment glee.

We're talking about people trying desperately to hang on to their homes and COBRA health benefits. Yet he unapologetically states, "people are being paid even though they're not working."

It seems to me that simply saying 'no' to anything the majority legislates or our newly elected president's agenda isn't working either--in more ways than one.

So prepare for your life of ease Senator Kyl. Let's see how you and your family gets by on $450 a week.

Oh, wait. He'll have a cushy lobbyist's job waiting for him when he gets booted.

Never mind. Jackass.
