Dem Bums

Those Lazy Jobless - Krugman

Last week John Boehner, the speaker of the House, explained to an audience at the American Enterprise Institute what’s holding back employment in America: laziness. People, he said, have “this idea” that “I really don’t have to work. I don’t really want to do this. I think I’d rather just sit around.” Holy 47 percent, Batman!

…So now we have rants against the bums on welfare when they aren’t bums — they never were — and there’s no welfare. Why?
