Walk A Mile?

No figures of any kind mean anything unless it is you that is unemployed.

Straight Out Of The Sheep's Mouth

I lost my job and my kids are hungry. I will therefore expect the government to feed my kids and lead me to a new job. I need the government to do all sorts of things for me. I'm actually sort of lost without a strong govt and can't imagine what life would be like where people took responsibility for their own lives and helped their neighbor out of kindness not compulsion.

But I at least I'm not a dependent sheep.

Well, according to folklore now embraced by the GOP sheep (the church crowd), if you lose your job and the kids are getting hungry, you can always shoot a moose. Sarah will hang it up and bleed it for you, er, uh, correction: Sarah will hang you up and bleed you for the moose.
