These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do
employed: California, New Mexico, Mississippi, Alabama, Illinois, Kentucky,
Ohio, New York, Maine, South Carolina
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in
fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid
and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received
$168.00 a day in government support.
What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median
household income in America is just over $50,000. That averages out to $137.13 a day.
To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the
equivalent of $30.00 an hour for 40 hour week, while the average job pays
$20.00 an hour.
Furthermore: There are actually two messages here. The first
is very interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and explains a
lot.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article
provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
Percentage (%) of men and women who survived a cancer five
years after diagnosis: U.S. 65%, England 46%, Canada 42%
% of patients diagnosed with diabetes -received treatment
within 6 months: U.S. 93%, England 15%, Canada 43%
% of seniors needing hip replacement who received it within
six months: U.S. 90%, England 15%, Canada 43%
% referred to a medical specialist who see one within one
month: U.S. 77%, England 40%, Canada 43%
Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic tool) per million
people: U.S. 71, England 14, Canada 18
% of seniors (65+), with low income, who are in
"excellent health": U.S. 12%, England 2%, Canada 6%
National Health Insurance?
U.S. NO, England YES, Canada YES
The percentage of each past president's cabinet, who had worked in the private business sector prior
to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector
is; a real-life business...not a government job. Here are the percentages:
38% T. Roosevelt
40% Taft
52% Wilson
49% Harding
48% Coolidge
42% Hoover
50% F.D. Roosevelt
50% Truman
57% Eisenhower
30% Kennedy
47% Johnson
53% Nixon
42% Ford
32% Carter
56% Reagan
51% GH Bush
39% Clinton
55% GW Bush
8% Obama
This helps explain the incompetence of this administration: ONLY 8% of them...have ever worked in private business! That's right! Only
eight percent, the least by far of the last 19 presidents!
And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how
to run their business? How can the president of a major nation and society, the
one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk
about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never
really had one? And, when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest
advisers?
They've spent most of their time in academia, government,
and/or non-profit jobs. Or... As
"community organizers."
"Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of
ignorance and the gospel of envy. Its inherent virtue is the equal
sharing of misery" -- Winston Churchill
