You can get 99 weeks of unemployment.
You get free health care, welfare, food stamps, and housing vouchers.
"I later learned that the couple had come out of a Brooklyn shelter and were not only getting subsidized housing but also vouchers for furniture; food stamps; free health care from Medicaid, and, of course, welfare. They appeared to be in good health and when I visited their neighbors, I had a chance to meet the young man (who's white) and appeared to be in his early 20s. He complained about how bad the job situation was. "Man, I can't find work anywhere," he said.
I was sorely tempted to ask why he didn't apply at one of the local stores that had a "Help Wanted" sign in the window but that would have been a merely rhetorical question. Minimum-wage jobs can't compete with a full-service welfare system that sucks people into dependency. Meanwhile, Mexican immigrants are ubiquitous and seem to have found work as car washers, busboys and at other menial jobs."
Like Europe, the United States has become the Welfare State. Charities will get you extra food, cut your hair, and give you rides.
America has become lazy--that is why we have almost 10% unemployment.
Here is the big question:
Why aren't the unemployed yelling, picketing, screaming to get rid of the illegal aliens stealing their jobs? If the long term unemployed were serious, they would demand enforcement of our immigration laws.
Until then, the Welfare state will grow and freedom, your ability to spend the money you earn, will continue to decrease.
