>>>Bill, I know a 27 year old who makes about 35K....lives at home with parents who make six figures, pays no rent or food...and gets subsidies.

>>So do I.
>>In fact, I raised a couple like that.
>>They were slow to get out into the world, so they stayed home and mooched off mom and dad for a while after college.
>>Subsidies? Hell- they got a completely free ride!
>>Both finally got out, made tons of money on their own, and went on to have terrific lives.
>>They're now supporting their own moochers, despite their "entitlement" mentalities.

>>How were mom and dad able to do that?
>>Well, dad was a moocher himself. He went thru college on the GI bill, supported in part by a widowed mother (another moocher - one of Reagan's "Welfare Queens") who had been on welfare for a while herself till she got on her feet and worked at least 2 jobs most of her life.

>>So, yes, I know a lot moochers like the one you mentioned.

>I wouldn't call the GI bill mooching. It seems like the least we can do for vets.
