The upcoming election can easily be simplified and explained--even for a small child to understand:
DO YOU WANT FOUR MORE
YEARS OF THIS SHIT?
Wasn't that Reagan's line?
removal of standards on their achievement ? something for nothing ? of course small children want that.
children and non tax payers dont care that govt spending is a horrendous % of GDP. The point needs to be made to ALL TAXPAYERS that they are under assault so that every single one votes against Obama and then hope to demonstrate to the rest how we're on course to be Greece, Italy and Spain (all those gimmes going away).
time for America to grow up. been acting like children too long.
More than 100 million people in the United States of America get welfare from the federal government. 100 million.
According to the Cafferty File, an astounding number of Americans are getting welfare of some sort:
That's a third of the country!
But the questions are:
Is that number attributable to Obama policies? What, specifically, has he advocated that has led to such unsustainable numbers?
And even more importantly:
Is electing Romney going to make much of an impact without also changing Congress?
This figure of 100 million people does not include those who only receive Social Security or Medicare.
Good question.So the people dependent on government checks is a lot more that 100 people. We have fewer people working today, (than four years ago) when we should be adding 250,000 jobs a month just to cover people coming into the work force?. So our REAL unemployment numbers must be really high. Where is all this money to cover all these government checks supposed to come from if only half the people working even pay any taxes?
Good question.
Yes, unemployment is really high, much higher than the official 8.3% or so.
Only about half of recent college grads have good, full time jobs. That alone is an eye opening statistic. Add to that a third of Americans on welfare of one sort or another, and who knows how many seniors dependent on SS with no real retirement income, and you have a very scary situation.

I'd say 1/4 Congress, 1/4 Bush, 1/4 Obama 1/4 private sector greed, roughly.So true. And who and what is to blame for this economic disaster?

Failure to regulate the mortgage market, selling people houses they couldn't afford, fighting wars "off budget", bailing out entities too big to fail, giving away money we don't have, and trying to spend our way to prosperity. I'm sure there is more, but that's just off the top of my head.
