that's what Newtie tootie said about people on unemployment for 99 weeks.
Apparently there's a way to not only pay all your bills while living on unem-POOR-ment, but you can get a college degree. What bunch of fucking idiots!

(20,043 posts)nice catchy line for the stump. Too bad it's not based in reality. The Republicans don't care if another segment of society goes by the wayside. Fuck 'em they're unemployed, that's their attitude.

See schools have this inconvient thing where you have to enroll months in advance of attendance. If Newtie went to college he should know this. I enrolled over two months before starting school on the 9th. There also might be a lot of issues a prospective student faces like getting finacial aid, taking placement, tests, and getting other paperwork in order.
I think Newt actually has the start of a good idea here. We shoulid send a lot more people to school and pay for it and make the loan process easier.

(20,043 posts)it was a way to shit on "those" people and get huge applause while doing the shitting. Unemployed is the new "welfare queen".
Republicans are lower than snail shit, and smellier than pig shit.
