3. Seems like some have developed a dependency on emergency funding.

Haven't we all heard it said time and time again that once these people get on welfare they never get off? You go out into the country and all these welfare farmers are driving around in new trucks, all decked out with tinted windows and nice wheels. They've all got the latest side-by-sides and UTV's, 44 gun safes, and they drive around in air-conditioned tractors listening to who knows what. In the mean time hard working Americans in blue states are paying their way and the government isn't doing anything about it.
I say they need to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, get rid of all those expensive toys, and start working harder.
