To justify Medicaid cuts, House Speaker Mike Johnson says the healthcare program leads to "able-bodied young men" playing videogames instead of working.
Look up the book “Hell’s Angel’s” by Hunter Thompson.
There’s a section in the book where he writes about the economics of being a hippie/biker/artist circa 1970.
A biker could work for six months as a Union stevedore and save up enough money to go on the road for two years. A part time waitress could support herself and her musician boyfreind.
No they are not governing. They are attempting to rule using rhetoric they know sticks with older generations. That’s it. Just gotta keep people voting and they will say and do anything to get those votes.
Nah, young folk these days just don’t want to work. They need to buckle down, pull on the ol’ bootstraps, and work a part time job at the factory while going to college. No reason that shouldn’t support a family of 4 with a single income!

That’s what these guys grew up seeing and reading, huh? So they’re trying to govern with assumptions that have not held true for decades.

Sounds awesome! Reminds me of a Chinese Buddhist couple who work a few months then travel a few months to temples
I would take anything Hunter S. Thompson wrote with a massive grain of salt. He’s fun to read but gonzo journalism isn’t a great source for facts.
First, he wrote the book in the 1970s. People would have noticed if he was wildly off base.
Second, you can do a quick search and prove his numbers were correct.
