So it appears your not against all government handouts - just those to the poor and non-whites.

As for the unemployment rate it's a useless figure from a 1947 ILO convention. You need only work one hour in the week of the survey to be counted as employed.
It also doesn't address the working poor in the USA and incomes inequality.
Trump is not the problem here - it's the lobbyists - and it's both sides of politics with blood on their hands not just the democrats.
I am against governments handing out cash to the vulnerable and weak in society to prevent them getting off their areas to get themselves a job and take care of their own shit

Which is exactly what we have from Western governments with all the benefits that they give to the laziest ****ed a in the country

As for the money the government's gave big companies during the GFC well I don't agree with that either

It ain't something I subscribe to that the government should be involved in bailing out failed businesses full stop

Governments are there not to babysit half of the population in life who are full 9f excuses for their failings in the world

Get an education
Get a job
Don't have kids outside of wedlock
Take care of yourself

People who subscribe to these 4 basic principles will be ok in the world
