Just another example of the government helping the wrong people. The well-to-do and socially connected in NC have a fine old time at everyone’s expense. Years ago there was a lot of talk about the Democrat “Good Old Boys” as this was not part of the other party. Seems the Republicans have a similar but more secret cartel going on in their own party. This cartel is the only group receiving any benefit from our attempt at colonial rule in Iraq and other places. Those on the other end face tremendous levels of uncertainty about basic everyday needs.

I am an unemployed exfelon with some education who daily faces rejection from employers who are scared away by the necessity of my being honest–under penalty of conviction and imprisonment. There is no proof I’ve been able to find that exfelons are any more likely to be honest or dishonest than those without a record or members of a class such as lawyers. I only need one job that apys a living wage.
