The Senate Budget Committee Republican staff under Ranking Member Jeff Sessions [R-AL] on Wednesday released this depressing chart:
Are you serious? Over 110,000,000* in the U.S. are currently receiving some form of government welfare?
..."[S]ince 2000 Medicaid has increased from 34 million people to 54 million in 2011 and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps) from 17 million to 45 million in 2011,” according to a statement released on Wednesday by Sen. Sessions’ office... >But here’s our favorite part: “Spending on food stamps alone is projected to reach nearly $800 billion over the next decade.”...
..."These figures include not only citizens, but non-citizens as well. For instance, USDA has acknowledged a formal partnership with Mexico to boost food stamp enrollment amongst non-citizens, migrant workers and foreign nationals. In a ‘radio novela’ USDA even depicted an individual who resisted food stamp enrollment (saying her husband earned enough to take care of them) but who was successfully pressured into enrollment.
Yep. Non-citizens enrolled in the Mexico-U.S. food stamp program.
While gut-wrenching, this graph represents a perfect illustration of the Obama administration -- or should we call it the Cloward-Piven administration?
President Obama is at war with the American taxpayer... and future generations.
Pass it on. Because this madness must end in November. Or the Republic will.
no wonder i get a certified letter from the IRS stating that I underpaid (once by 3 dollars) when i am 5 minutes late. (mostly due to snail mail USPS)
