Everyone wants to shout out that they are victims and that they are owed and want handouts. Whatever happened to self-reliance and accountability. The American dream will be no more if we continue down the path we are. I totally agree with you that if people would get off of their butts and work, we could really see the people who truly need help and help them. I truly don't have a problem with that. But to help people who can help themselves but just won't... I say NOBAMA!
