    I don't see eye to eye with d2d much but he has a point. Foreigners, legal and illegal, from poor and lower middle cuntries have been pitted vs. 'Mericans for a while now. They help stagnate or even lower wages and weaken union power.

    I'm not just talking blue collar, lower wage, and trade jobs. Plenty of white collar jobs like engineers have gone to foreigners.

    ... and all Obama cares about is the fact that they're 62.5% likely to vote "D". ... and all the RINO's care about is corporate PAC contributions.

    @d2d, how would you feel about your fictional, elderly friend receiving welfare checks and food stamps?

    He wants to work and won't take welfare. He did get food stamps but only after I personally dragged his ass to DHS. Right now he's working part time getting paid under minimum wage under the table. He's a vet and already would have free healthcare at the VA but he won't take that either.

    Believe it or not, a lot of baby boomers were taught self reliance. Just because the system is set up now as a social welfare state doesn't mean that your government's "customers" want that or will take it.

    Between Section 8 benefits, Obamacare, food stamps, SSA, SSA Disability, VA disability, and VA non-service pension benefits, there should absolutely be nobody homeless; but there are millions of homeless. Interesting fact, there are more vacant foreclosed houses than homeless.

    Social welfare only works for people who want social welfare. Funny how that functions.

    The first thing I learned in business was to listen to my customers, no matter what I was selling; legal advice, investments, anything. Odd how politicians think they have all the answers and never ask their customers what they want.

    You had me at float plane, but you lost me at Pious. A Prius is a woman's car. This is what I have my eye on.

    Boomers are the most narcissistic, entitled generation ever.

    Their parents bled for this country and they Woodstock'd instead.

    I feel absolutely no sympathy for that age group. They had the world by its dick and fucked it up.
