Whose the greatest generation

What is it about the human race that if you work hard to make something seem easy they will think you have more that you're holding out.  IT shows just how easy it has been to turn a hard working country into an entitlement paradise for many.  The more you give the more they seem to want.  The Progressive's count on this to push their agenda down our throats. Can you just imagine what it would be like to bring a depression era head of household feeding 4 children into today's United States.  They would think the world had gone mad.  Free food, free housing, free medical, free education, free money and of course a free cell phone.  Plus the fact that people get paid for being out of work even if they turn down a chance for employment.  This would be too much for a person who walked the streets tirelessly just find enough odd jobs to feed his kids that day.  The only food he or she would save for themselves was a little stale bread and whatever they could find to put on it.  I tell you this because my father and mother lived during that period and had to do those things to survive.  Work was exchanged for food and clothing, no one had any money to spend. 

Reverse that picture now and send the perennial welfare recipient back to the depression era and just watch how long they would last.  I'm drawing this picture for you because that's where we are headed if we don't make some very decisive and quick changes.  Life as we know it cannot sustain itself going further and further down the path of Trillion dollar debt.  Sooner or later the piper will come calling and if we don't have the ability to pay the bill our country will go the way of the Roman empire, nothing but ruins to see for miles.  So as you pick up your next Welfare Check or Unemployment reward and you haven't done your best about getting a job, think about what it's going to be like for your children and grand children, do you think they will call you the greatest generation?
