The financial event horizon has been crossed. Now no candidate can win who promises to give away less in benefits than his opponent. They will keep increases until the system collapses.
When those pulling the cart are outnumbered by those riding in it, it doesn’t bode well for our survival as a nation.
More than half now compromised by spoil and their loyalty lies with the corrupter. They will not bite the hand that feeds them. Welfare Zombies!
America is set up for collapse. King Obama has his wish and the ignorant Americans let it happen. Things might have turned around in 2012 but who knows. Romney was very concerned with the 47 million that depended on the welfare system.
If it’s not too late, it is almost too late...
Revolution Now!
Now there's a surprise. You don't suppose that the gov't is giving away free cell phones to buy votes, do you? Maybe this helps explain why my SS benefits have risen .1% while Obozo's been in office, but welfare subsidies have risen over 30%. Gees...I wonder why?
My kida have kids and when I see how hard they all work this kind of thing sickens me.
I despise leeches.

This is all true. I hate to bust anyone’s bubble but America is through being a representative constitutional republic. With more than 50% living off the gov’t dole (other hard working people’s money) it is virtually impossible to turn back the clock. Our educational system and media have created a dependent class incapable of think ing for themselves. The values of private property rights, free enterprise, and laissey-faire economics is over. With 30-50 million potential teat sucking democrats in the wings, hang on to your hats. You can buy some ammo and keep the looters away for awhile but ultimately chaos and ruin awaits us without a moral revival.
“Depend” on government subsidies. What a misleading term. They really don’t depend on them. Most people would not be living on the streets if they did not have them. They’ve gotten used to government subsidies, feel entitled to them and will get angry and vote against anyone who tries to take them away.
This is how a Welfare State dies. The voting takers outnumber the producers and saddle the producers with more and more tax burden. There is nothing cruel about saying this and conversely, there is nothing compassionate about being for more subsidies. We are on the road to a dead economy and ultimately, defaults and riots.
The first thing to pop into my head was Airhead Ryan blubbering about how this is all OK because he doesn’t want to call his mommy or his unemployed buddy “takers.” Let’s just figure out how to flog some more tax dollars out of the producers and keep the Ponzi Scheme going until this generation is dead.
remember,, its easier to bring us down to their level than to bring them up to our level . . .
good job Øbama
Can’t consume more than you produce, these folks are essentially signing their own death sentences.
The problem lies within the definition here.
Welfare.
Welfare is NOT Social Security benefits, Medicare, retirement pensions and the like. Take these benefits paid in by the makers and define welfare as freebies that takers get - then get back to me with the real numbers.
Loser Nation.
What your country can do for you?
What? What was that subliminal democrat message of 64 years ago.
