This past week in Detroit, the city opened it's convention center to allow residents who have lost their home, or are in the process of loosing their home, to file for stimulus money. This money was to help them keep their home during this economic down turn. While enough money was available for 3500 people, over 30,000 showed up.
Apparently word got out there was "free money" being passed out and people just showed up. They weren't homeless or in the process of loosing their home, they just heard there was "free money."
Our good friends at WJR radio, (I actually have friends working there) went to interview some of the people in line. Rush Limbaugh had the WJR report on his show of which the following is just a representative sample of what they found:I was going to "translate" the response from the women interviewed, poke some fun, but I want to keep this in a serious tone, for now.
His "Stash?" That is money paid from the hardworking people of America, it's not from BHO's wallet! This is almost as sad as Peggy Joseph. You don't remember Peggy? Let me refresh your memory.
What can you really say about these people, aside from the fact that they are too busy sucking off the national teat to understand how our government works and how others are working to pay for their "good fortune." They want something for nothing. Just show up and the government led by BHO will solve all their problems.
The Bible says to be compassionate and help our fellow man, but it also says that God helps those who helps themselves.
I have no problem helping someone who needs the help. Those who can't work for true physical or mental problems. These people need our help and depend on us to help them. As they say in the hood, I'm down with that.
What I'm not down with is those that spend all their time with their hand out wanting and demanding a handout. Now with their "savior" in office, they somehow think more will come to them because.......well, because, WARNING WARNING WARNING INSENSITIVE REMARKS COMING WARNING WARNING WARNING because his is one of them.
They have a false hope. They have been sold a bill of goods. They probably think BHO is going to donate his 1.4 million dollars he will receive from the nobel peace prize to them! Of course we know that money has already been allocated to ACORN.
BHO doesn't give a damn about them or their plight. He doesn't give a damn about any of us. He is only concerned about him and his friends and the power they can wield against the rest of us.

There is no free lunch, think about getting a job.
But wait, the two women interviewed by WJR are from Detroit, which is in Michigan, which has the highest unemployment rate in the country.
Why does Detroit have the highest unemployment rate in the country you ask? Is it because of the auto industry? No. It's because of the government of Michigan. See Michigan dug itself into this mess and they will have to dig themselves out of it.
For years Michigan had been the "entitlement state." Michigan had given out the highest amount of welfare, the highest amount of unemployment compensation and the highest amount of food stamps. I know people who work in the unemployment office and for as long as they can remember Michigan's rate had been the highest of any state in the nation. Construction workers would travel to Michigan to get a couple of weeks of work just to be able to claim benefits from Michigan. They combine their Pennsylvania benefits with the Michigan benefits and pay at the Michigan rate. The same goes for welfare and food stamps. They pay the highest rate of any state.

The only thing killing job growth more than the unions in Michigan is the government.
There's a entitlement mentality in Michigan because so many people there have lived off the government and their programs for years. The government did nothing to stop it, except now when it's gotten out of hand.
The Lions are indicative of the problems facing the state of Michigan. They are bad and they have been bad for years and there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
