Unbelievable. Wake up people! This is the perfect storm for liberal progressive socialists to take over and govern. We are living through the left's execution of FDR's "Great Society" plan. A society full of big gov't entitlement and wealth re-distribution. We are one step closer to a one world government, where gov't programs will be used to control the population and every aspects of our life. Next up - Gov't control health care. They've already succeeded in dumbing down the population through our horrendous educational system. Now they will make your health decisions and control your life expectancy. It's all part of the master plan to eradicate and control population growth. They are obsessed with big gov't, wealth re-distribution, big social entitlement programs, population dependence, high taxes, high unemployment, single payor health care, global warming, carbon footprint, destruction of capitalism. This is just the beginning of their eventual "One World Order" agenda.

This will never end until people rise up, and stop gov't intrusion into every aspects of the private sector. DC is a runaway train, on course for total destruction of the U.S. While our brave young men and women are dying and fighting terrorism overseas, we have our own homegrown destroying the very fabric and foundation of this great country. I speak frankly of this, for I have seen it all before. I have lived through it many years ago. America is my adopted country. I'm proud to be an American. I'm sadden by what is happening, and I weep for all my fellow immigrants who came here in search of living the American dream.

Please wake up people and take back our country. Throw all of them out in 2010 and 2012.

-----And yes, I say Merry Christmas-----

I would love to shake your hand. Amen to all you said. I could not have stated it better.

2010 people!!!! We've got ONE LAST CHANCE!!! Toss them ALL to the curb and let's start over. Make America FOR THE PEOPLE AND BY THE PEOPLE once again!

How about we bring this topic back around. Thanks.

No one should ever "coast into a city" on just fumes, in my opinion.

Agreed. Actually, I'm thinking that the person who started this thread was inhaling some of those fumes...

Reminded me of this book. Not something I'd want to emulate.

Well, thank you to all who have shown sympathy and support. Brent & Karin are in their new apartment, and yes it really IS that easy getting plugged into the system. Michigan is really a godsend when it comes to helping people down on their luck, other states should be thankful. Our church even gave info about that free bus ride system last month. Seems to me unfair for Michigan taxpayers to foot the bill for other states, though. But I say let us dip our bread into that gravy while it's hot.

Oh, and Brent's a Dolphins fan. . .don't any of you Lions guys give him a hard time up there!!! haha

People like You make me SICK by taking advantage of the system! You should be ashamed of yourself. You are most definitely taking away from a legitimate family, that may actually need assistance!

Look friend, I'll not apologize for Brent's doings. When he's in a strip club every other day foolishly dishing out cash, it makes me sick too! This is taxpayer sponsored debauchery, and both my wife & I have discussed it with him to no end. But the sad fact is. . .the SYSTEM is to blame for these loopholes. Brent hasn't worked in years, yet never misses bowling night. And yes I've squatted in homes - something I'm not proud of. . .but compared to Brent I'm a saint. That house in Fresno is water under the bridge, and I'll not discuss it.

I'm with you overall, rehabber. This is an outrage & it's time our "leaders" in washington put their focus where it belongs.
