Every bum needs a handout, and the democrats have made a cottage industry of buying votes by giving "bread and circuses" to a public eager for those handouts. Keep in mind that ultimately, nothing is free, and only a fool believes that the federal "mana from heaven" comes without consequences. Granny should know better.
Let's not forget the $800 billion handout the Bush 43 Administration gave to the largest banks and financial institutions in this country under the TARP legislation.

There are a lot of servile "sheep" being led to the slaughterhouse, so to speak, in those parts.


Is it your assertion that your grandmother is the smart one?

It's called progress

American-style capitalism has pretty much been discredited since the big financial meltdown, there really is no debate over this.

Oh really?

Someone is a failure in real life and unschooled to boot, I suspect.

Why or how anyone could defend the abysmal failure that has befallen the state of American capitalism is truly beyond me

That's what is wrong with this country, we are still arguing and debating over discredited crack-pot economic policies that are pushed down our throats by free-market fascists, is it any wonder that this nation is continuing its decline

So you're for illegal immigration to do the jobs Americans don't want to do?
Not sure how you got this from my post. What I was saying is that from 1945-1972 my family worked in the cotton fields, they were all Americans( no immigrants) doing jobs that they were qualified for.

My family lived in Arizona and worked the cotton fields. My mom as a little girl and her siblings, picked cotton to help feed the family, she didn't get the money to do as she pleased. The money went to what was need at home.

Times were hard and it was very common for kids to work on farms and be paid a nickel a day.

so her priorities are based on being racist and hating anyone not rich and white?
