How long can this country survive with the number of makers shrinking by the day and the number of takers exploding?

Quote:According to the 2014 version of a report that the Department of Health and Human Services is required by law to issue annually, the percentage of Americans on welfare in 2011 was the highest yet calculated. The data for 2011 is the most recent in the report.

HHS has calculated the percentage of all persons in the United States who live in families that receive “welfare” going back to fiscal 1993. It has not calculated a percentage for years prior to that.

As defined in the report (“Welfare Indicators and Risk Factors”), a welfare recipient is any person living in a family where someone received benefits from any of just three programs—Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (formerly Aid to Families With Dependent Children), Supplemental Security Income, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (or food stamps).

By this measure, according to the report, 23.1 percent of Americans were recipients of welfare in 2011. Since 1993, the earliest year covered by the report, that is the highest percentage of Americans reported to be receiving welfare.

A startling 38 percent of all children 5 and under in the United States were welfare recipients in 2011, according to the report.

...............................And the Beat goes on!

Libs are so proud of this accomplishment. This might be Zero's biggest success.

Wow, it isn't a program to help a few people get by, it is now an entitlement program. Terrible

And the leftists remain quiet.

so true......


Also, where are the lefties who keep trying to tell us that more people got on food stamps under Bush than under Obama????????

Why complain? more votes for us, Right? generation after generation of built in votes and the righties can't think of a counterbalancing strategy. Why?

Liberal's Plantation Doctrine.

I bet some folks get bonuses based on the number of people they sign up for welfare.

Libs are going to wake up one day and this culture of dependence will bite them in the a$$.

The last guy still working is going to be pissed.

I'd steer clear of him if I were you.

Our counterbalancing strategy was to lower the amount of income by a few percentage points. That is what Romney talked about. Twitter was immediately flooded with death threats towards him after that.

Democrats have bred a disgusting amount of lazy no good roaches that are completely dependent on government assistance. It's pretty f*cking sad actually. I remember when people had pride in themselves, to earn what they wanted. Now it's given to them, and they STILL piss and moan about having it so bad and being pulled down.

So. You can either offer more welfare, or you can get death threats. Thanks dems.

Just think what they'll do when it eventually gets taken away from them.

I assume it will be mass chaos. Eventually there will be more people getting it than working, that's when the shart will hit the fan. What a SNAZZY country we've become.

It won't be pretty. We are eventually going to find out what real poverty looks like. Thousands living in tent cities eating nothing but canned green beans. Welfare might pay well now, but the spigot will be turned off.

There is about as much chance of the welfare spigot being turned off or even slowed down under this administration as the IRS deciding not to collect taxes.

It definitely won't happen under this administration, but more and more and more and more are lunging towards the government tit under obama. That's why it'll happen under the next administration. Either we'll be taxed so much that we all go on strike to fight it, or there won't be enough to hand out. It's almost inevitable at this point. And if I'm reading right, these stats are still from three years ago, so it's grown even higher.

Even if the next Republican administration never shuts off the "Spigot", They will be accused of it and be shown on every nightly news channel. That's the Ugly way the Democrats roll.

Not talking this admin, just, eventually, when the handouts stop coming. It WILL happen because eventually other people's money runs out or goes elsewhere where it can't be seized.

If sane people don't unite against the evil Democrats and get back in power, it won't matter.
