As I’ve warned now for years: “Census Bureau: Means-Tested Gov’t Benefit Recipients Outnumber Full-Time Year-Round Workers”

Parasite In HostFrom CNSNews.com:

By Terence P. Jeffrey

(CNSNews.com) – Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau. They also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.

There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs, the Census Bureau said in data released this week. Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, there were 101,716,000 people who worked full-time year round in 2011. That included both private-sector and government workers.

The next sentence is shocking but, in my opinion, not unexpected or unforeseen:

That means there were about 1.07 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every 1 person working full-time year round.

I have written, for some time, of the tipping point where the Parasites outnumber the Hosts.

Statistically, it appears, we are there.

If the ship’s pumps are not activated, the flooding waters will cause the Ship of State to catastrophically capsize.

Another year for ObamaKare — is this the downfall?

From FoxNews.com:

Obamacare Employer Mandate Delayed Until After Midterms

By Mike Dorning and Alex Wayne

Businesses won’t be penalized next year if they don’t provide workers health insurance after the Obama administration decided to delay a key requirement under its health-care law, two administration officials said.

The decision will come in regulatory guidance to be issued later this week. It addresses vehement complaints from employer groups about the administrative burden of reporting requirements, though it may also affect coverage provided to some workers.

Let me be blunt: any number of multiple local, state and federal agencies have NO idea how to enable the betrayal that ObamaKare has become.

Continuing to Implement the ACA in a Careful, Thoughtful Manner

By: Mark J. Mazur
7/2/2013

Over the past several months, the Administration has been engaging in a dialogue with businesses – many of which already provide health coverage for their workers – about the new employer and insurer reporting requirements under the Affordable Care Act (ACA).  We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively.  We recognize that the vast majority of businesses that will need to do this reporting already provide health insurance to their workers, and we want to make sure it is easy for others to do so.  We have listened to your feedback.  And we are taking action.

Yes, this is a break.  But a break that has been crafted in order to acquire some more centrist coalitions on diversity?

If you like your plan and your doctor, you can keep them, correct?

Or perhaps you cannot.

The delay: is this a good thing or a bad thing?

Russia to provide “security,” on US soil, during national emergencies?

According to EMERCOM of Russia in a press release:

Several documents signed during joint work of Russian Emergency Ministry and FEMA rss

26 June 11:32

The Russian Emergency Situations Ministry and the USA Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) are going to exchange experts during joint rescue operations in major disasters. This is provided by a protocol of the fourth meeting of the U.S.-Russia Bilateral Presidential Commission Working Group on Emergency Situations and seventeenth meeting of Joint U.S.-Russia Cooperation Committee on Emergency Situations, which took place in Washington on 25 June.

In addition, the parties approved of U.S.-Russian cooperation in this field in 2013-2014, which envisages exchange of experience including in monitoring and forecasting emergency situations, training of rescuers, development of mine-rescuing and provision of security at mass events.

Let me repeat this tidbit in case you missed it: “provision of security at mass events.”

Meaning: Soviet “experts” providing “security” on US soil.  In most countries, who is most “expert” in providing security?  The military or police forces.  And what does “security” mean in occasion of a “mass event”?  It won’t mean people with frowns and brochures.  In my interpretation of words, “security” at “mass events” means military personnel who are armed and loaded.

Translated: armed Russian personnel on our soil to “secure” our civilian population.

Under this agreement via Homeland Security, will it include what are termed NSSEs — National Special Security Events — which include such things as international summits, conventions, even presidential inaugurations?

Anyone besides me have questions to include: why has this completely fallen off the US American Media Maggot radar?

Obama on Rubio’s immigration bill: this is called a CLUE

From Bretibart’s BigGovernment.com:

Obama Calls Rubio to Congratulate Him on Immigration Reform

On Friday, President Obama took time out from his trip to Africa to call members of Senate’s so-called “Gang of Eight,” including Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL), to congratulate them on the immigration reform bill that passed the Senate on Thursday in a 68-32 vote.

Self-summarizing, I’d wager.

Do what I call the “logical extension.”

Senate passes immigration bill, 68 to 32

Amnesty Clears SenateFrom the WashingtonTimes.com:

Vowing they’ve learned the lessons from the 1986 amnesty, the Senate on Thursday approved the biggest changes to the immigration system in a generation, promising this latest version will prevent another wave of illegal immigrants while at the same time granting a pathway to citizenship to most of the 11 million illegal immigrants already in the country.

The 69-32 vote, which saw 14 Republicans join all 54 of the chamber’s Democratic caucus members support it, is likely the high-water mark for immigrant-rights advocates, who held prayer vigils and watching parties Thursday in anticipation of good news for illegal immigrants who’ve been waiting, in some cases for years, for legal status.

Then you have the insanity of John McCain:

“Shouldn’t we give them the same chance that we’ve given wave after wave of immigrants?” said Sen. John McCain, an Arizona Republican who has worked on this issue for years and who was one of the eight senators who wrote the bill that passed.

As McCain says, “wave after wave” of the illegal Mexicans.  So he wishes to call those endless waves of lawbreakers as citizens.  So those waves will obviously continue.  Why shouldn’t they?  There are rewards for lawbreakers.

Now, on to the House.
