Just a normal US politician. They lost all connection to reality ages ago. Take his ID papers away and let him survive on minimum wage jobs somewhere where nobody knows his sorry face.

"We need people to have the threat of death to work" isn't the offer you think it is you fuck.
This is rich coming from someone that has literally never worked a days labor in their lives.
Young men as a cohort have a 90% employment rate.
It must be really nice to live in a world where your own idiotic opinions don't lead to any meaningful consequences for yourself.
And rich people don’t have jobs because they mooch off poor people.
Hypocrisy at its finest.
"I want to check that old building for treasure!" vs. "I want to check my son's porn usage".
The joke that keeps on giving
Hey Johnson... care to let people in on your little secret? As in... little... secret.
What???
What free healthcare? And even if they have that, that doesn't pay for food, shelter, etc...
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.
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

Sure. Let's just pretend video games are free. And so is healthcare. Also, how much health care does he think young people use? This is a stupid argument.
Congressman can't be fired for doing a poor job?
Since I am not from the us or ever been there, I do have a question: are there people that truly believe in this bullshit?
Yes, but they get there "backwards".
It's not like they believe healthcare is inherently demotivating, it's that they're already Red Team members, and "Healthcare and welfare breed moochers" is a Red Team belief, and since they're good Red Team members, they synthesize it into their belief system--despite the fact functionally no one rips off the healthcare system because, frankly, you have to have some kind of pathology to visit a doctor enough for fraud to be an issue.
I mean "Oh noes, they're ripping off the healthcare systems by.. (checks notes) ..getting antibiotics for their earache!!" is not a thing. Ever.
Everyone, even in countries with socialized medicine, avoids interactions with the healthcare system until they need to. I mean, do you you really want to recreationally get your throat swabbed? I'm sure there's four people on this planet of nine billion who get off on that, but that's it.
Now, rich people, they come to this believe authentically. They hate public healthcare because a) they have to pay for it, and b) it's one less piece of leverage they have to keep people shackled to work. But make no mistake, they also suffer from the delusion, above.

Is this free healthcare you speak of in the room with us right now?
Is he mad that young adults can stay on their parents' health plan until age 26?

Where are they getting the money for the games? Those are expensive as shit, I’m still making do with games I bought decades ago because I can’t afford new ones.
How are they eating? Food is fucking expensive, are they getting free food as well?
How are they paying rent? Have to have a roof over your head and electricity in your walls to play video games all day.
This mother fucker thinks all guys are like his son, lazy mother fuckers mooching off their parents. What a dumb, ignorant moron.

The lord needs to help these people. They're cooked.
I'm flabbergasted
Didn't you know sex is bad? It's absolutely reprehensible and the only allowable exception is for the purposes of procreation, where you are allowed only to use the missionary position and your lawfully wedded wife is to be completely obscured by a blanket covering her entire body apart from a small hole in her crotch area. You can not look down or touch her body with your hands at any point, you should be reciting prayer the entire time and preferably keep one hand on the Bible during the whole process.
All other ways to engage with sexual acts and sexuality are unnatural, ungodly and frankly disgusting.
Shits all fucked up my guy
Where can I get this free healtcare that pays your rent?
By getting elected to Senate or Congress
Health care is a human right
Free healthcare doesn't pay rent or utilities. I would love to stay at home and play video games regardless of my healthcare status, but I simply couldn't afford to.
Where are they getting free healthcare from? I'd like it. Oh does Canada have this problem? No? Huh
We still have widespread disengagement in Canada too because the problem isn’t the healthcare.
The problem is wage suppression and corporate greed.
Lyin’ Mike at it again
People are checking out because the middle class is non-existent. It doesn’t matter how hard you work - the the prospect of getting ahead, owning a home, retirement is out of reach for the vast majority of people.
People can work hard and stress themselves out or they can check out of the system and achieve largely the same result.
This is about the failures of late stage capitalism. To claim the issue is free healthcare is gaslighting.
"Middle class" contrasts with "upper class" and "lower class", not with "ruling class" and "working class"; it's the wrong perspective.
It may be today, but a strong middle class is what placates the working class. Give em something to shoot for so they won't shoot you.
