If you recall earlier this year I shared about a little girl we've known since birth, as my wife was the nurse, who saw her in her first well care office visit.... My wife noticed the parents lived close to us, and a friendship ensued. This was years ago in southern California.
She died earlier this year from heroin.....
They had followed us up to Washington and became neighbors again.
The dad has never worked a day since he arrived here.
He lives off his dad pension, who bought the house, and he gets money from the gubbermint to assist his dad, who is in his 90's.
He had no problems lying to the courts, about his daughter when his daughter was alive, and breaking parole promises that he too agreed to abide by.
He makes his wife work.
He gets other assistance from the state.
He tells us he can't work because his dad needs him, yet, he will be gone all day fishing in a used boat he bought, while dad just sits in front of the TV and mom works.
They have a son too....
He does not work either ( 24 years old ) They buy him cigarettes, pay for his cell phone and car/insurance, and beer, that he drinks everyday, and he goes fishing with his dad...
OH.... I misspoke when I said this guy (dad) doesn't work, he calls BINGO twice a week, gets 15 dollars a game I think, however, he plays 5 cards at 20 per too, when he ain't calling....
He is way over weight, has the bad diabetes, it killed his mom, and he is slowly going blind, and we all pay for his healthcare, as he won't do a thing to improve it.
I predict their son will run afoul of the law next, and they will become mad at the system again....
It is extremely hard for me to just watch this transpire, the wife has moments of fluidity, but quickly retreats into denial, as her emotions can not bare to address the truth....
When his dad dies, the 7 grand a month goes with him, then what?
He is a sponge.....
Oh, he has a college degree from Berkeley, political science.....
Is this the way of life a society should invest in?
Enabling is a cop out, plain and simple.......FACT!
It is way harder to say NO, than yes, and we see the decay all around us, it is the death knell of America.
A different tune Trump sings, not saying he is gospel, or even doable, presently, but he is resonating because he does address accountability and does not mince words, harsh they may seem, or be, but we will never fix a GAWD DANG THANG unless we can have HONEST dialogue without all the friggin PC GOTCHA mentality piled on....
