Florida's solution to help the unemployed - cut their benefits

The Florida House on Thursday voted along party lines to pass legislation that would reduce the time that someone could get state unemployment benefits, an action that came hours after new joblessness figures showed nearly one in eight potential workers still idle in January.

The Republican-dominated chamber passed the bill (HB 7005) on an 81-38 vote. It would cut the time that an unemployed worker could receive state benefits from 26 weeks to 20 weeks.

I imagine they'll pat themselves on the back after Florida's unemployment "magically" drops after they boot hundreds of thousands of people off of unemployment. "See, we cut the unemployment rate, we did what we promised we would do" they'll brag to their sycophant followers. After all, they already have the mindset that unemployed are simply lazy fucks who would rather sit home and watch TV all day than look for a job.

Fuckers.

1. Florida's help for the starving - less food

as they die off, the rate of starvation drops

"See those people weren't motivated enough to eat anyway", said state republican leaders, gnawing at their filet mignon.

Savage animals in business suits, each and every one of them.
