Michigan 4 year limit takes effect today

A lot people have their panties in a wad over this one. Its taken effect and now people are screaming they may have to take drastic measures such as illegal means to make a living. I was shocked when I head this. Illegal means ? Would it not be easier to just find a job ??


LANSING, Mich. (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder on Tuesday signed into law a stricter, four-year lifetime limit on cash welfare benefits, prompting advocates for the poor to warn that tens of thousands of residents will find themselves without cash assistance on Oct. 1.

Thumbs up

Now tax all union workers 12% and redistribute that money to the jobless poor.
I never heard much about the governors race in MI. from the lame stream media. It's good the people tossed out that worthless bitch Jennifer Granholm and the socialists in the House.

McDonalds, BK, and Wendys...............Woo hoo.......And you wonder why people would rather end up on welfare? If you're going to be shitty poor, it might as well be because you're not working.

Dave, your governor is an ass. Your crime rate is about to explode. Few people are going to work so they still can't pay the bills.....that's bullshit.

Well, at least if they leave you won't have to worry about having them around anymore.
I guess that's one upshot for ya.

Maybe Dj can move to MI and be proud to wear the paper hat and flip burgers for chump change. I sure as fuck aint doin' it.

Dave

Just saw a piece on the news. Seems like they are taking bets on who runs out of cash first, Michigan, or California. I wonder if the Chinese would make either state a loan?

Minimum wage and part-time to boot, time to rejoice and give thanks.

I really call myself fortunate that I am no longer part of the "workforce". I thought it was bad in the late '70s and early '80s but it appears to be much, much worse now. It is not a good thing for anyone to say they are glad to be old, but I am glad I am. It gets very, very depressing trying to find work and getting rejected time and time again. It can make a person feel downright worthless.
