Monica Crowley: We Know Entitlements Are Narcotics

Posted by Brian and Ellen -19pc on June 15, 2013 · Flag

Monica Crowley came up with yet another conspiracy theory last night. After announcing, “We know entitlements are narcotics,” she “just asked” if Washington lawmakers are “actively trying” to hook people on them “in order to lock in a permanent Democratic voting majority?” And yet, she didn’t lift even a single manicured finger to find the answer. However, that didn’t stop Fox Business host Lou Dobbs, her guest, from supporting her thesis as a conclusion “easily reached.”

Crowley was substitute host for the O'Reilly Factor last night, where the following exchange took place:

CROWLEY: When we talk about past recessions, we’ve always seen an uptick in these kinds of entitlement programs, food stamps, welfare, and so on. But when the economy improved, we always saw those levels retreat, and go back down. This time it’s not happening.

…We know entitlements are narcotics. Do you think there’s a political motive here where the far left which now controls the White House and most of Congress, that they are actively trying to lock people into this government dependency in order to lock in a permanent Democrat voting majority?

DOBBS: I think that that conclusion can be easily reached because for one thing to your point about usually when we see an economy move beyond the recession, we see these programs recede with them. We’ve seen almost a million additional households on food stamps in the course of the past year.

Fox News: Where smearing Democrats (and taking digs at poor people) takes precedence over facts gathering.

Well, when past recessions were over, yes, these entitlements went down. However, there’s no indication that this recession has truly “passed.”

If so, Big Oil needs to go to rehab . . .

@joseph West AMEN TO THAT. I’d LOVE to see Monikkka KKKrowley and other Faux Spews Channel talking heads work a few days flipping hamburgers and/or scrubbing floors and toilets at McDonald’s or Burger King or stocking shelves at their local Wal-Marts. I’ll bet the house they’d all be SCREAMING LIKE HELL for living wages in LESS THAN 48 HOURS!

Oh, so NOW Crowley’s willing to admit the economy’s “improved” but how many of the rest of the FoxNoise talking heads keep reporting how BAD the economy is (indeed, even salivating over every bad report)? What this “rhymes-with-witch” is forgetting is that the “new jobs” people are getting are so low-paying that they still need those “entitlement” programs just to get by. Because FoxNoise and its talking heads are firmly on the side of the “abolish, don’t raise, the minimum wage” argument, they fail to realize that paying workers an actual living wage would actually reduce the number of folks needing all these evil “entitlements.”
