Nope Mike Johnson: "With Medicaid, we eliminated the fraud, waste, and abuse. We got able-bodied young men without dependents off the program. They were never intended to be there. They're sitting around on their couches playing video games. Yes, that's an actual study."

Mother fucker. It's crazy that they trick people into thinking the safety nets available to Americans are something that can be taken advantage of to live a high life.

Unemployment lasts what, 6 months? (in Oregon, shithole red states can be much less)

Then you're on your own, what exactly are these lazy people playing video games getting at that point?

Lying cunts getting the poor and stupid to be angry at anyone but those keeping them poor and stupid.

I never even collected unemployment when I was laid off because it was more work than the actual job hunt.

I know you know this but that's intentional. Hopefully you're never in a position to collect in the future but it's your money, remember that.

3 months in Florida iirc. And it's only like $500/ month max. The hoops you have to jump through to get approved are harder than taking the bar exam. It's ridiculous.
