Many call it "Momma's Mannah before May.

Those on the "Dole," "Welware," "The Sweet Socialist Swine's Teet," will receive their "payment," "alotment," "slice o' cheese," one day early...since "candy land" aka "International Worker's Day" arrives on a Sunday this year.

The USA has followed the UK,
Is it the employer.... or the employee
That must pay for the past decade's spending spree?

Pay your own way.
