Free money- costly servitude

Today my birth state, the formerly great New York implemented a free money program. Of course this pig's lipstick shade is called "Back to School Assistance". But it still goes "oink oink" and rolls around in feces.

All the parents of "needy" kids were given $200 assistance from big brother government to prepare for back-to-school. That's $200 per child. The assistance did not come in the form of a $200 staples card. Nor did it come in $200 of credit for Macys kids section. Nor did it come in $200 voucher at a bookstore. No. It came in cash.

Cash.

So let me get this straight... we just handed out $200 cash to every "needy" kid and said "now make sure you spend this on books!". Will it have the same success as the $2000 per Katrina victim debit card?

From the NY Daily News: "It's free money!" said Alecia Rumph, 26, who waited in a Morris Park, Bronx, line 300 people deep for the cash to buy uniforms and book bags for her two kids. "Thank God for Obama. He's looking out for us."

Well, there you go.

And that is, of course, the job of the President. To give us free money. Fact is- we've been printing money like mad and the only ones it benefits are the communist chinese.

This is being billed as an education program. Want to talk education? Let's look at education spending.

In New York it started with buses. See, kids could not do well in school because they couldn't get there. Too far, too cold, too rainy, too hot- we need to drive the kids to school. So the government brain trust started (in cahoots with the unions and organized crime) a busing system that currently spends over $1billion annually in busing kids. Bus these kids there. Bus those kids here. Drive them around in circles- who cares? Just drive them.

Ready to learn?

No. Food. Sure, they are driven to school. But they are HUNGRY! Free lunch. What about in the morning? Free breakfast.

Satisfied?

No. What about after school?? See the kids are driven, yes, and fed, yes, but what about help with their homework? Mom and dad are busy at work and the children need help with homework. OK- let's start an after school program.

What about before school? What about the kids who's parents have to be at works soooo early that they need to drop off their kids before 7? Enter the morning program.

Hang on- see you are just assuming that the kids are prepared for school when they start in kindergarten. What about a program to prepare the kids? Headstart was born from that need.

Now- let's recap- we will pick you up, early too if need be, and give you breakfast and lunch. Then we give you after-school program for homework and drive you home too. And we will even take the wee little ones to prepare for school. On top of that we just gave you $200 for school supplies (a.k.a. mom's new rosette tattoos for her breasts and dad's new iphone). Are we done?

ARE WE FREAKING DONE NOW??? Will test scores NOW go up?? Will school crime NOW go down?? Will kids NOW learn to read and write and speak and study?

No.

So we will offer a jobs training program for those graduates that cannot find work. Then we will offer you free housing, free food stamps, OF COURSE free healthcare.

And bury you in your free grave. And you will thank Obama for "looking out for you".

Know what lady? Thank God for ME damn it. Where's my thank you?

The left, the White House, the media are still perplexed at the anger in the healthcare town halls. The revolution is coming. People like me are tired of being raped by a government that then takes my money and doles it out to people who do nothing but take and take and take and then complain that what they have stole is not good enough. They have not amassed any wealth with their sweat. They have not earned the livelihood through their efforts. They have not worked, have not sacrificed, have not produced, have not been taxed, have not contributed and yet they take and take and take and DARE to complain that what they receive from my wallet is not up to snuff.

The revolution is coming. And I am proud to join it.
