Welfare, Not Full-Time Work, Is Now America's No. 1 Occupation

[red states rule]

Now this thread should put a smile of the face of Gabby, FU. LR, and Arbo. Obama has succeeded in transforming America from a full time working country to a nation dependent of government

Break open the bubbly guys and tell us how damn happy you are over this accomplishment by Obama and his "take care of the takers" policies





Dependency: "Is Welfare The New Normal?" we wondered in an editorial last Thursday, and we didn't have long to wait for an answer. On Friday an answer came back in depressing new data from the Census Bureau.

CNSNews.com's indefatigable data hound, Terence P. Jeffrey, dug into a few routine Census releases recently and discovered something shocking: More people in America today are on welfare than have full-time jobs.

No, that's not a misprint. At the end of 2011, the last year for which data are available, some 108.6 million people received one or more means-tested government benefit programs — bureaucratese for welfare.

Meanwhile, there were just 101.7 million people with full-time jobs, the Census data show, including both the private and government sectors.

This is a real danger for the U.S. — the danger of dependency. Anytime more people are being paid not to work than to work, it imperils our democracy. No one votes to cut his own welfare benefits. So welfare grows.

In recent years, the welfare state has expanded to create an all-encompassing security blanket to protect Americans from all vagaries of economic life. For everything from losing a job to having trouble paying the rent, there's now a welfare program for it.

Those who say the poor deserve such largess will find no argument here. Sometimes people have such dire need that a helping hand may be necessary, if only for a limited period of time.

Too bad you have to ruin a post with good info by inserting bullshit attacks on other posters.

I call a spade a spade and those above mentioned posters are delighted in the direction Obama is taking the country

Now if you are done with your temper tantrum why not comment on the info provided?

fj1200 and Arbo are as anti-Obama and anti-liberal as anyone else on the board, you're either too blind or too fucking stupid to figure it out. I guess it's also possible you know what I said is true and you continue to lie out of some personal animus because they didn't see fit to kiss your ass. I'll give you the courtesy of saying which of the three is the case. As for commenting, I already have.

May I suggest some decaf and anger management classes?

I do hope that Obamacare will permit you to obtain the help you so desperately need

Meanwhile continue on with your temper tantrum rather then comment on Obama's ongoing transformation of America

MM I think the entire board is filled with bleeding heart Liberals :laugh: seriously I see what you are saying about some of the other posters ( Fj for example I am like you I believe he just likes to ask all questions to make the debate a good one) other poster's I think go both ways to either add to a debate or make a argument but yes they can come off as believing one thing when they really believe another.

"go both ways" Jeff I see that a gross homophobic comment :laugh2:


Seriously, this is a major part of the Obama legacy. Libs are delighted that so many people believe they are entitled to other peoples money

[glockmail]

What The Obama needs to do for anyone who still has a job is to give photos and addresses out to the person who they are supporting, sort of like Feed The Children. That way we can correspond with them, tell them how much we really care and stuff.

When you add in other government programs with a check attached — Social Security, Medicare, veterans benefits, unemployment and other non-means-tested benefits — you find a whopping 151 million Americans get a check from the government other than an income-tax refund.

Do you know how many posters you've just insulted by suggesting that their current, or future, benefits are welfare?

fj. Here are your links to substantiate your continued stupidity. You pretend you need to have FACTS everyone else knows as your method of substantiation. That's the typical liberal method used whenever people like you are confronted with HONEST facts you refuse to SUBSTANTIATE.
