I know zero or almost zero on this board agrees with me, but i think the entitlement problem is a touch overstated and don't think that it is as abused as some would make it out to be


They disagree with you for a reason. Come to Baton Rouge. You will see fraud like you never believed was possible. It's so easy. I know so many people who do it. They live so easy. Working hard and paying taxes really is a sucker's bet.

I have been many times and lived in BR shortly and in jackson mississippi for several years before moving to Miami.

I know it happens, not disagreeing with that. I know its abused, but i don't believe it is as high of a level as people on this board and others who vocal about it make it out to be
Maybe because i have seen people on both sides cry wolf about emotional issues like these too much.
But the drug testing was not a good idea. It cost more money than saved and revealed that welfare recipients are using drugs less than others. But still many call for this.
(I know I've used this example twice, but i cant think of another right now but im sure anyone can give me an Obama/dem example of crying wolf about a basic non issue. its Monday after a long holiday weekend )

I know its unfair and unintelligent of me to dismiss most of the issues like this because of seeing people cry wolf about things that are obviously flawed. Most people are idiots and will go with a "they took our jobs" mentality, and you are Im sure are not as you seem to have a grasp of basic thought unlike many and don't seem to be a chicken little.

But like i said, i know it happens. But i dont think its a huge issue. Granted i don't know how i would educate myself to realize its more of an issue than i think it is.

Not trying to call you out, even though i basically am, How do you know its fraud/ its easy/ a lot of people do it/ etc?
Do you work in an industry that has to deal with these types or know studies or what?
