Hunger! The Motivator!

Have you ever been hungry?  What did you do about it?  Of course you set about to prepare something you could satisfy that hunger.  If times are good you may have eaten more than you should have and suffered for it.  If the rations were meager you left the table a little hungry still.
What if you are not hungry?  Then you may forget all about eating anything and make no effort to acquire the necessary ingredients for a meal.  All is wello until you are hungry again.
This is what the country is faced with now; a lack of motivation among many of the unemployed because the check keeps coming every month and they are comfortable with that.  Millions are now living on the dole because they are not working.  Why?  Either they cannot find work or they feel like that job is not good enough for them, or they would rather do something else, etc.  Washington believes they have the obligation to see that none of these folks have to work at anything they feel is beneath them.  So what do they do?  Wring their hands and pass legislation allowing each one to dip into the public coffers each month while they are "feeling better" at home with the flat screen TV, talking on their Bluetooth or just resting.
You may think I am a cynic and I am when it comes to government sticking their nose in the people's business.
I believe that most of these folks will try, really try to find work when motivated.  Did I say motivated?  I mean HUNGRY!
