15 out of every 100 people living in the U.S. are receiving food-stamps.This disastrous explosion in the welfare state has come in spite of -- or, more likely, because of -- the Democrats' tidal wave of deficit spending.
In his pursuit of "wealth redistribution" strategies, Barack Obama has rung up more debt in three years than any other President in history. More debt than the world has ever seen.Enough debt to enslave future generations to 70, 80 and 90 percent tax rates.
Maybe that's what meant when he talked about 'change'.
One thing is for certain: these graphs can't keep these trajectories going. The whole system is headed for collapse and -- when it does -- the Democrat welfare state collapses along with it.

"One thing is for certain... the whole system is headed for collapse and -- when it does -- the Democrat welfare state collapses along with it."
ReplyDeleteYup. And what little is left of national sovereignty, I'm afraid.
This is Cloward-Piven. Watch them try to collapse the system and re-create it in their twisted image. It's not "change" - it's "fundamental transformation."

"Since Barack Obama took office, roughly 12 million additional people have become dependent on food-stamps. And since Democrats took control of Congress in January 2007, almost 20 million people have joined the rolls of food-stamp recipients."
ReplyDeleteI've heard rumors that the wealthiest have been eating very well indeed, figuratively speaking. They're holding the largest total percentage of the nation's wealth in history. Their income is at record levels. Their tax rates are at some of the historically lowest levels. They own most of the invested capital. They own the companies in which it's ivested and the companies that manage the investments. They own the politicians that make the rules. They own the media that tells us about all of this.
I suppose people who can't afford their groceries somehow brought it on themselves. Some combination of greed and faulty decision making, no doubt.

ReplyDeleteStop the Marxist class warfare rhetoric already.
There isn't a corporation on Earth that can force you to pay it whether you want to or not.
There isn't a corporation on the planet that throw you in jail for failure to adhere to it hundreds of thousands of pages of laws, regulations and dictates.
There isn't a corporation anywhere that can make you buy a one-size-fits-all health care plan, or a certain kind of light bulb, or low-flow toilet, or a certain size of car, and on and on.
Only a giant, enormous, bankrupt federal government can -- and only because a certain group of power-hungry, easily corrupted politicians, lawyers and judges have ignored our highest law: the Constitution.
Our Framers created the Constitution to prevent the rise of an all-powerful, autocratic, authoritarian central government.
It wasn't the corporations that ruined it: it's the politicians who violate their oath of office every day of the week.
He has been president for a little over 2 years, so how can he be respoinsble for 3 years' worth of deficits? Also, your math includes TARP, which was approved and signed by Bush Jr.
