I have had to deal with case workers and the welfare system, since being laid off, and dealing with depression. The case workers (nannies) happen to be so overtaxed, they won't have time to check on things. It is just easier to hand the cash out. I will say this here, unless people start to act now, on a personal level to do things that are needed, then you won't get control back. These things are NOT lobbying Washington, or throwing angry tea parties, and running ads. It means to act as neighbors. The responsibility happens on a personal level, but isn't just every person for themselves. It means also acting as neighbors, and doing what is needed to help others who are down. I have seen first-hand how powerless people are in this area, and how little help you actually get from anyone. No one has a clue here. Life seems bigger than individuals on a personal level. And there is a desire to cut corners everywhere, because they have to. |
People aren't going to spontaneously become responsible again when they have no real reason to do so. Fortunately for everyone who wants government off of his or her back, the government is broke and will have no choice but to fuck off. It's a matter of when, not if. And yes, it's too bad for everyone who bought into the pack of lies that is the nanny state and came to depend on it, but the word "unsustainable" really does mean something.
Then, and only then, will people start acting as neighbors again, because they won't have much of a choice.
