Gov’t spending per POLITICALLY FAVORED household

exceeded household income of POLITICALLY UNFAVORED households

for 3 years or more.

And, this is exactly the intention of this admin.

From Article:

That year there were 121,084,000 households in the United States, according to the Census Bureau, which means that the $6,115,429,668,000 that government spent equaled 50,505.68 per household.

Median household income in 2011 was $50,054 in current-year dollars, according to the Census Bureau. So, government spending per household exceeded median household income by more than $450.

Government spending per full-time year-round worker in 2009, 2010 and 2011 also exceeded the average earnings for a full-time year-round worker in those years.

In 2011, there were 101,676,000 full-time year-round workers (including both private-sector and government workers), according to the Census Bureau. The $6,115,429,668,000 spent by government that year worked out to $60,146.25 for each one of those workers. By contrast, the average earnings of a full-time year-round worker in 2011 were only $57,150, according to the Census Bureau.

It’s saying that total spending by all government was more on average than the average worker makes.

It’s like a franchise spending more than half their franchises make. I think that would be a crazy model for MacDonalds Headquarters.

What is characterized as government spending is actually theft on a grand scale by the criminal enterprise that is the Democrat Party.

Absent revolution, there can be no recovery nor punishment for the criminals

The politically favored households won’t ever be asked to pay down the runaway national debt but the unfavored households will.

Yep, it’s a crazy economic model, unless, for some reason, you seek the economic demise of McDonald’s as a whole...

Government spent more money than it takes for half of the nation to keep their own homes afloat.

That has to be where it ends up.

And I’m convinced that waste/fraud/abuse account for more than half of government spending.

It’s the same from Solyndra to a county road repair contract. One gets half a billion to blow on what they wish (that kicks back to their pockets) including high salaries. The other accepts a double price on the highway project with some kickback going someplace to someone.

It’s all good, right up to the point when it falls apart. Buy ammo, and move away from places like Ferguson, MO.

Please do not forget the republicans.

Very few republican politicians are sincere about reducing the size and scope of the federal government.

Even in good times weapons that are taken care of retain their dollar value.

And, when they’re needed, you have no intention of selling them anyway.

Well stored ammo keeps a long, long time.

Yes and absent an economic collapse, there can be no revolution.

Don’t worry. It’s coming from Obama’s stash.

I think that a very significant part of the spending is for:
a)vote buying
b)money laundering back into dem and republican party coffers

Why didn’t house republican committees investigate every dollar of the stimulus scam? Because they got some of the pie!

MASSIVE redistribution of wealth programs have never lift any segment of society out of poverty, the only possible ending is making the politicians into KINGS/QUEENS and bringing wide spread poverty to the country.

You fail to understand reality.

While many Republicans view the present government size with favor, they are not out right thieves.

Every initiative of the Democrats is purposely designed to allow stealing part of the money and using the balance to create political favor and dependence.

There is no moral relativism despite your desire to tar Republicans
