Just found out that California pays 32% of ALL welfare claims in the entire US! We have 10% of the population and that should be the extent we pay out, but no, our leftist legislature insists we be the nanny state. So, come here if you need welfare. Calif. will never balance a budget at this rate!
When people fear the government, that is called tyranny

They're mired under the weight of old people like you sucking the coffers dry.
Arguing with Christians is like playing chess with a pigeon.  No matter how good I am at chess, the pigeon is just going to knock over the pieces, shit on the board and strut around like it's victorious.

The truth is slow, but relentless. Over time it becomes irresistible.

Uh, I don't think that's it at all.  I do believe it's the same thing that's going to suck the rest of the states dry if someone don't put the skids to congress passing all these spending bills.  And don't forget you're going to be one of those old people one of these days if you're lucky. I have a feeling if this crap keeps going on at the present rate you're going to be real upset to find out you've worked all your life so the younger people can be taken care of and you get nothing.  :wink:

I'm hoping to go early so I can leave a good looking corpse.   :biggrin:

That's not all. What about all those aliens using services? (Undocumented aliens, not ELFs. ELFS generally are self-funded. Well, the reptilian kind are. The grays have been known to suck public teat.)

Why does everyone always leave out the Nordics?
Looks like I've come full circle.

Sshhhhh! You'll start a panic.

But since you asked, we in the PPDC are fairly certain the Nordics are really human-hybrids. Probably from intermarriage with grays.* They drink too much to be purely extra-terrestrial.

*Watch for the referendum on legalizing these unions on the next ballot.
