She merely echoes the mindset of late Democrat party hack Tip O´Neil, who once said that (it was not our people and their accomplishments, sacrifices, and grit) it was our government programs that "made America great."

Actually she has it basackwards...it is because of the entitlements people get lazy and turn America into a third world country...not to mention the pandering for votes politicians that make it happen.

Any government large enough and powerful enough to entitle you to anything is also big enough to take away everything you own. Private property and entitlements are incompatible.
In order to have entitlements, the assets of someone else must be taken from them and given to you.
That makes you a slave of the state.

Except the rulers, of course. They pay no taxes (see Geithner, T.).

So that is the road we are on. Serfdom.

This is a classic right is wrong, wrong is right perversion from the Left. Out of control entitlements, giving away wealth to those who have done NOTHING to earn it, is what is driving this country at top speed to third world status. They know it, hence the oft repeated Goebbelsian lie.

BS. It´s the entitlements that are turning us into a third world country and destroying the economy.

And sadly, the elected officials on both sides we put in place will race to finish the job of making us a 3rd world country.

Right, just look at the situation in any housing project across the country. That´s the paradise created by government dependency.

Welfare is the path to success.

How gerrymandered is her district if it stretches from Jacksonville to Orlando?

Are lawmakers like this required to attend Idiot School?

With nearly 16.5 Trillion dollars in debt, borrowing from China to pay entitlements, while regulating businesses out of business, we are rapidly approaching a nightmare scenario. From First World to Third World status with one Marxist, America-hating, blowhard, halfrican, dictator.

And when the money runs out, Corrine? We´re closer to that point than you realize.

If so, then when the entitlement money runs out in a few years we will be a third world country.

A belief that you are entitled to money, goods, or services, that you do not work or pay for, is the same as saying that you have a right to demand that other people give you those things you want. How then are you any different from the most common thief on the street? Contrary to what the federal government would have people believe, it has no money of it´s own that it doesn´t first take from other people or businesses by force of law, and threat of imprisonment and violence. Unearned entitlements and their supporters have turned our politicians from being public servants, into henchmen, and our government into organized crime.

It´s ´smart´ persons such as this one who elected the o great Two Won. Remarkable she can open her mouth, speak and walk at the same exact time without falling on her rear or her face. As they say on the dumb side of the aisle (and that would be both sides) Those unemployment checks keep the economy going and growing. he he he Dear Lord WHERE is the common sense? It has been beaten out of most of them.

This lawmaker is a blatant liar.

Spoken like a true commie.... If not for the freedom to innovate, we would be a 3rd world country.
