Have you ever wondered what the U.S. would look like it if were a failed state? And what sorts of skills you'd need in order to survive, and which government offices would function and which wouldn't, and which aspects of society would collapse and which would manage to self-sustain? We have too, because it occasionally seems like a valuable mental exercise and it's better safe than sorry. But now, we no longer have regard it as purely a theoretical scenario, because we seem to have an actual failed state right here in the U.S. of A, and (shocker) it is Georgia, where only 4,000 adults in Georgia have been able to qualify for welfare even though a shitload of people are poor.
Just a reminder: We are told &quot;The South lost the Civil War&quot;, but the truth is the <i>white</i> south lost the Civil War. The south is not populated solely by (deranged) white folks. This always seems to be forgotten. The south is a fertile place for the imagination, but the truth is that much of the south will become &quot;majority minority&quot; over the next generation. I have little hope most of the whites will see they are exploited (and they are), but expect more from the &quot;persons of color&quot; who will begin taking over a number of the states (sadly, Alabama and Mississippi will continue their ways).
The Free Market&reg; is providing plenty of housing, food and automobiles for these Peach State Poors to live in, eat and drive to their jobs in. For the life of me I can&#039;t figure out what&#039;s missing.

How much did Beverly &ldquo;B.J.&rdquo; Walker get for her soul?

I was led to believe that in Georgia, the war on welfare was conducted with axe handles.
Get a grip, man. Those living on capital gains, dividend and interest income see no problem with this situation.
Ah, the glory days, when Phil Gramm was telling everyone what to do.
So the moral of the story is if you keep beating people down long enough they will eventually stay down.
But, if they could get welfare money, Honey Boo Boo&#039;s family would not have to eat roadkill. Where&#039;s the comedy in that?
If these wingnut dipsticks ever do revolt, I&rsquo;ve got dibs on giving Paul Ryan the first wedgie.
The entire south is pretty much fucked, if you ask me.
I&#039;ve got a modest proposal...
I guess the Devil juggled a few appointments in his Day Planner to stay down in Georgia.
