Deutsche Welle ^ | 19.04.2016 | 19.04.2016

On Tuesday, Germany’s Federal Statistics Office released figures showing that 1.038 million people were receiving basic security benefits at the end of last year — the highest number since the benefits were introduced in 2003 and 3.5 percent more than in 2014.

Anyone over the age of 18 who is unable to work more than three hours a day under normal working conditions, and those whose age pensions are inadequate to live on, are eligible for the benefits.

The statistics office reported that more than half of the recipients — about 536,000 people — are senior citizens, while around 502,000 receive the benefits because they have reduced earning capacity following illnesses or disabilities. …

Importing young people into an aging country is supposed to be a way to help finance the retirement and health care of the elderly.

But if the young people moving into the country are welfare bums tugging their own elderly parents in behind them, well that ain't going to work out too well.

Are we there yet in America? I think we’re at an all-time high. Am I correct or incorrect?

It’s hard to cut the numbers of people on welfare when you open your borders to let thousands of them pour in from other countries.

45% pay NO TAXES.

That means they are liabilities to society.
Give it a year or two. We’ll be Germany also. Keep importing those 3rd world barbarians and it may be even sooner.

Percentage wise, The US is approaching the numbers of socialist EU, am I correct? You cannot continue to steal from those that work to pay for those that do not. Atlas will soon Shrug.

I believe it. I also believe there will be many, many more in the coming years, if not months.

All the while, smiling MSM and local news will continue the propaganda du jour.

And how many of these are recent “immigrants” and/or their spawn?

Gee, I wonder how that happened?

It is such a mystery!

That was the lie that was sold to the American people to get them to accept the browning of America. Today we can clearly see that importing the Third Worlders was simply to keep the government caste working while preventing ghost towns from springing up in the dying post-industrial parts of the country (including my home state of NJ). There are few jobs here (and even fewer good ones), but these imports are keeping whole school districts open for business (and keeping housing occupied).

These anti-Anglo dregs from the Third World never intended to finance the retirement of aging Americans; instead, working Americans can’t afford to retire anymore because they are financing the feeding, housing, and schooling of these “replacement Americans”...

Then they get their EU military that the elites have been dreaming about for decades; the mechanisms are in place already and they just have to unify the national forces. Don’t be surprised when that materializes more rapidly than expected; after all, who thought that Russia’s military would have bounced back on the scene so fast?

This is happening because Americans are exercising their free will to avoid the burdens of child-rearing; I don’t think God was lecturing Americans (though He certainly knew what would transpire thousands of years later).

Ye cannot serve both God and Marx. It was the latter who deemed child-rearing a “burden” and called for “abolition of the family”.

Or 28-year old "unaccompanied minors" eligible for larger benefits?

Interesting; I’ve posted for years now that we had a bloodless Bolshevik coup in 2008, and most people don’t even know it.
