Over 100 Million People In U.S. Now Receiving Some Form Of Federal Welfare

@Liberal1 (objectivity):

The worst recession/depression since the Great One? And just exactly what do you think your Messiah Obama has done to make things better? The only reason the unemployment rate is 8.254% is because he keeps dropping people from the work force rolls. Tell me, Liberal1, how can our population continue to grow but the work force continues to get smaller?

And just what part of the U.S. Constitution says that you can tax one person to take care of another person? Or is answering that question above your pay grade?

Apparently Jason didn’t read all the fine print.

This is U.S. Census Data collected non-partisan wise, and this chart covers that there has been an increase to welfare program recievers. Those already on SSI, Medicaid, etc didn’t suddenly duplicate to make this chart figure grow. There are roughly 311 million Americans in the United States, almost 1/3rd of the population is now on welfare benifits. And since Jason is a bit lazy:

Here are as of June 2012 Social Security payout totals: http://www.ssa.gov/policy/docs/quickfacts/stat_snapshot/

Hardly comes close to 100 Million Americans from the Social Security…

Currently standing roughly 1 out of every 7 Americans are using Food Stamps, from a little bit of browsing the Census Data. Or roughly 14 Percent of the Population which is about 43.68 Million Americans. Almost half of the welfare recievers of the rough 100 Million on one type of welfare or another.

As for Medicad, From 2009 :

This is where the rest of that 100 some million are. Now if they are food Stamp collectors or not, is a debateable issue. But in one way or form almost 1/3rd of the population is on welfare while the working population for Civilians is roughly 63 percent or almost 2/3rds of the Nation and is expected to decline as the welfare recievers increase if situations in the Economy do not turn around.

With the push by Democrats to swell the rolls of Medicaid it’s not hard to come to assumptions that the numbers for each state have seen some form of increase while State budgets have seen shortages or serious cut backs even in Blue States from declining Tax Revenue that was Expected from new Taxation Policies aka Illionis or New York State.

As of now most of the increase to welfare has been in Food Stamps. Still Welfare does nothing but help encourage people to stay within the poverty means with the current way and shape welfare is designed. It doesn’t place people into vocational training for demanded jobs, it doesn’t prepare people for fiscal stablity, nor does it encourage the children of those on welfare to become independent of the system. I should know, been on State Unemployement and COBRA plan before. All it did was increase my medical costs to 460 a month from a plan that cost me 130 a month and the State and Federal wanted to either deny my enrollments into colleges/technical insituties or force me to take higher costing certifications that the school would automatically deny enrollment to due to my fiscal situtation.

So you want to go, “Oooh those damn Republicans.” Fine. Go ahead, but this is a reciepe of disaster when the Federal Income Tax is only paid by less than 50 percent of the working Population and Businesses (corporate taxation) go out of business or move out of the nation. And it doesn’t help Social Security’s tax and Medicare funds of 500 billion is being redirected to the Affordable healthcare Law infrastructure forcing the Federal Government to use borrowed funds from the Chinese and Japanese to pay Social Security, Medicare and Food Stamp receivers. If that Welfare number grows from 1/3rd of the population to almost 2/3rds of the population and taxation revenue declines further, what do you think will happen? A sudden land of Utopia and sunshine with Unicorns prancing about? It’ll be Greece’s riots or London’s riots in a larger scale because the welfare recievers will not be getting paid because there will be no money to dole out.

Many of the Nations, China and Japan, who have lent money to the United States are on very nervous grounds Economicaly themselves and they are nervous about America’s ablity (or lack there of) to repay loans as the US National Debt is expected to be 16 Trillion by end of this year and expected to go into 20 Trillion by 2014 to 2016 pending how fast Congress spends(doesn’t matter which party, as both are guilty of big spending idiotics.) China has express interest, both in its private market and Government side, to purchase and own as many American Businesses as possible as a form of equity safe guard from their own economical troubles and expand Internationaly as the United States contracts slowly.

The chart is in the census PDF bub. All they did was use the chart. Still does not hide the fact that increase in welfare with a decrease of taxable workforce and businesses is a plan of failure.

100 million people on federal assistance doesn’t mean that the federal government is entirely at fault. The federal government is only trying to address the level of need that our economic system has been producing.
