  1. “If I had a buddy who was unemployed and living in Detroit, would I be doing him a favor by telling him to stick around that place?!?! That was my point.”

    But would you pay for his bus ticket to Texas?

  2. May I say a word in my defense?

    NOWHERE in what I wrote above do I make any statement to the effect that the poor or unemployed deserve their status.

    I simply made one statement: that for some folks who are long-term unemployed, their best option may be to seek their fortunes elsewhere. If I had a buddy who was unemployed and living in Detroit, would I be doing him a favor by telling him to stick around that place?!?! That was my point.

  3. Thanks kens 😉

    dh,
    I did add that “shit happens”
    and that’s why there is a safety net.
    Let’s not make it into a hammock though.
    When we had a roaring economy and unemployment
    was at 4% we still weren’t happy; human nature again.

    bxgrl,
    Yes, of course it sucks about the job market
    but at what point do we give up blaming those still have jobs and start realizing that the government is failing when it can’t create an environment for more?
