The same day a troubling national jobs report showed businesses can’t hire workers partly because politicians have risked inflation to make everyone welfare recipients in the name of “COVID relief,” Wisconsin Democrats put out a video calling for people to “show us your stimmy shimmy.” After an outcry on Twitter, the Democrat account deleted the video, but another user saved it:
The video shows people dancing about getting a “stimmy,” or stimulus check, and having “$$$ in the bank” and “$$$ in the pocket.” “Thank you POTU$,” reads one caption.
Nabbed the original. Here’s what @WisDems thought was a good idea to produce. pic.twitter.com/70waDKp4ET

Approximately 83 percent of American tax filers were sent the latest round of “stimulus” checks Congress approved after Joe Biden took office, including tens of millions who never lost jobs in the past year of rolling government lockdowns. Couples could earn as much as $160,000 per year and still get one of the deficit-funded checks that totaled up to $1,400 per person.
Nine million net jobs were lost due to COVID shutdowns, while so far 161 million Americans have gotten checks. In addition to repeatedly sending nearly everyone checks, Congress also boosted unemployment benefits so that many Americans can currently make more money not working than by going back to work.
Paying people not to work? A U of Chicago study found 42% of those on unemployment benefits receive more than they did in their prior jobs, the average unemployment recipient earns better than the equivalent of working full time at $15 an hour. https://t.co/KIj4ClQCQP

This is just bribery. The work ethic of the past is past. The new generation for the most part are lazy in comparison. Big bucks to stay home and play video games is the cat’s meow. Why work when we can get paid big bucks to do nothing but have fun. Within 20 years, our generation will be gone and the America we knew with it……I’m almost glad that I won’t be around to see it. Let my gravestone say it..”BORN FREE- LIVED FREE – DIED FREE
Nailed it brother !!
