Everlasting Retirement

  I was reading an old Mutt and Jeff comic strip and I must say,  it expressed the attitude of many in America today.  The comic strip,  shows Mutt and Jeff,  back to back on the ground leaning against a huge shade tree. Mutt,  begins the conversation and says, "You know Jeff, you ought to get a job." Jeff says,  "Why? Mutt says, "So you can make money." Jeff says, "Why?" Mutt says, "So you can save money." Jeff  says,  "Why?" Mutt says,"So you can be rich." Jeff says,"Why?" Mutt says,"So you can retire." Jeff  says, "Why?" Mutt  says, "So you can have a lot of free time and to what ever you want."At this point Jeff, turns to Mutt and says,""Wait a minute Mutt, that's what I"m doing right now!"
  I believe this is a large part of the problem we have in America today. Many out of work Americans, seem to be content to say to think to themselves, "What's the big hurry when it comes to looking for work?" Who can blame them for thinking this way? President Obama,  keeps extending unemployment benefits. Many Americans, have been out of work for nearly three years now. I know a man, who turned down a full time job cleaning a church because he told me he could stay home and make more money, on unemployment. I then realized in a whole new way what is going on in America. Here is what I mean, Let's say, your about to lose your house, no problem, President Obama, is forcing the banks into letting folks refinance there homes at much lower rates and often gives potential home buyers cash up front to help buyers get into a home. Your unemployed? no problem you can get food stamps plus your unemployment benefits. You may even be able to get section eight housing and if  you do you make payments according to your income and if your getting unemployment your payments may not be much at all. You say your sick? No problem, President Obama,  is making health care free to everyone. You want to go to school? No problem, you can borrow money from the government and with this new policy President Obama,  has concerning loan forgiveness, you won't have to worry about paying the money back.
  See what I mean? Why should Americans , get a job work hard save money so they can retire , to use their free time to do what ever they want since the government,  has made it so you can do all that right now! As always my friends, these thoughts remain, just, some words, to think on.
