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.

Walmart EBT 1From KSLA.com, channel 12 in Louisiana:

Walmart shelves in Springhill, Mansfield, cleared in EBT glitch

By Carolyn Roy

MANSFIELD, LA (KSLA) –

Shelves in Walmart stores in Springhill and Mansfield, LA were reportedly cleared Saturday night, when the stores allowed purchases on EBT cards even though they were not showing limits.

The chaos that followed ultimately required intervention from local police, and left behind numerous carts filled to overflowing, apparently abandoned when the glitch-spurred shopping frenzy ended.

Springhill Police Chief Will Lynd confirms they were called in to help the employees at Walmart because there were so many people clearing off the shelves. He says Walmart was so packed, “It was worse than any black Friday” that he’s ever seen.

Wait a minute.  Is this reporter and the police chief attempting to intimate that those poor, helpless and needy persons may have been exhibiting a modicum of greed stemming from their new-found Free Cheese “open” EBT cards?

Lynd explained the cards weren’t showing limits and they called corporate Walmart, whose spokesman  said to let the people use the cards anyway. From 7 to 9 p.m., people were loading up their carts, but when the cards began showing limits again around 9, one woman was detained because she rang up a bill of $700.00 and only had .49 on her card. She was held by police until corporate Walmart said they wouldn’t press charges if she left the food.

Lynd says at 9 p.m., when the cards came back online and it was announced over the loud speaker, people just left their carts full of food in the aisles and left.

There was, however, a huge mess left behind. Pictures and videos obtained by KSLA News 12 show aisles packed with shoppers emptying the shelves in Springhill. Another video shows what appear to be at least dozens of overflowing carts left abandoned in the aisles at the Mansfield store, against the backdrop of emptied shelves in the meat department.  

The reporting indicating that persons who discovered their cards had limits and simply left their carts in situ must be false.  Surely the upright, righteous and the truly needy would have assisted the store in trying to return stock to shelves, as the principled, good-hearted and true persons they are.

Let’s talk straight for a moment, shall we?

Predominantly populated by blacks and the grossly obese, the Walmart shelves were sacked by persons who were conducting clear and obvious fraud when they realized that some kind of computer glitch allowed them to, literally, take whatever they wanted from the shelves with no consequences and no limits.  For a full two hours.

“That’s plain theft, that’s stealing, that’s all I got to say about it.”

The carts left behind beg another question for Walmart and future purchasers: how long was the frozen food left out, and would you go back and purchase that frozen food yourself?

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what you get when your loving federal government has taught people, for generations, to not work, to not keep males in the family nucleus.

You can thank your federal government for the literal explosion of gangs, comprised of individuals who are looking for nothing more than acceptance, importance, inclusion and a sense of belonging — something they do not get in today’s purposely-fragmented families.  Which they do get in gangs.

Bloomberg’s Public Housing Fingerprinting Idea Stuns, Infuriates Residents

NYCHAThe American Welfare Drones: give me my Free Cheese and attach no stipulations or responsibilities thereto.

From CBSNewYork.com:

NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) — Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s latest crime-fighting idea had a lot of people riled up on Friday.

The mayor wants to fingerprint more than 600,000 people who live in public housing. He said it would be done to make the projects safer.

“Five percent of our population lives in NYCHA housing, 20 percent of the crime is in NYCHA housing – numbers like that. And we’ve just got to find some way to keep bringing crime down there. And we have a whole group of police officers assigned to NYCHA housing,” Bloomberg said. “The people that live there, most of them, want more police protection. They want more people. If you have strangers walking in the halls of your apartment building, don’t you want somebody to stop and say, ‘Who are you, why are you here?’”

But residents who live within the confines of NYCHA buildings said the mayor’s fingerprinting idea goes too far.

“That’s like invading someone’s privacy or something. Why you want to fingerprint somebody? It is bad enough you get arrested, you get finger printed, so why you want to fingerprint us? Now Bloomberg needs to get a job. Get out of here already. He’s done. Bloomberg is done,” Chelsea Houses resident Nino Alayon said.

Again, provide us with more Free Cheese and assure us there are no concomitant responsibilities, say the AWDs.  That there should be some kind of obligation attached to goods, services, housing and support provided by American Taxpayer money — heresy, they say!

Bloomberg then focuses more tightly:

“What we really should have is fingerprinting to get in, since there’s an allegation that some of the apartments aren’t occupied by the people who originally have the lease,” Bloomberg said on his weekly radio show.

This is one time when I completely agree with Mayor Bloomberg, and go him one better: not only should prospective tenants be fingerprinted, they should also be drug tested; failure would result in a removal from housing opportunities.

Simple.

USDA Sets Goal to Serve 166 Million Gov’t Subsidized Meals to Kids This Summer

Feeding The Welfare BearsJust what we need: children with their own EBT cards.  Start them early, the government says.  From CNSNews.com:

(CNSNews.com)
With a record 101 million Americans receiving food aid from the federal government, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) wants more kids to be on dole for food during the summer months.

Why stop there?  Why just the summer?

“As part of its ongoing commitment to improving access to healthy food for low income children, USDA has set a goal of serving 5 million more meals to eligible children this summer,” the agency said on Aug. 1.

One of the ways the government will achieve this aim is by giving children subsidies on EBT cards. The USDA released an evaluation report on testing “new methods” to provide food to children in the summer, specifically through the Summer Electronic Benefits Transfer for Children (SEBTC) program.

“As part of its efforts to end child hunger, [the Food and Nutrition Service] FNS is studying alternative approaches to providing food assistance to children in the summer months,” the USDA said.

Last summer, 66,772 children received subsidies via an EBT card from the program, which was run in eight states and two Indian tribes. Eligible households received up to $60 per month, per child.

Excellent.  Let’s get children into the habit of relying, absolutely, on the federal government.

Why is it that you can’t lawfully feed bears in federal reserves and parks?  That’s right, because it would tend to create dependence and remove the bear’s ability to hunt for its own food.

July 4th

Obama Imperial FaceI’m at work today, but in celebration of this day, I recommend reading the information at these links:

The Declaration of Independence.

The US Constitution.

The Bill of Rights.

The Federalist Papers.

When in doubt, always, always go back to the basics.

God bless America, the last and best supporter of freedom on the planet and, as always, an experiment in progress.

Today’s government, unfortunately, confiscates your rights and then sells them back to you via taxes and blood.  The greatest threat to this country and its American Taxpayer is not Islam or Right Wing radicals and soldiers — as the federal government would have you believe.  It is that government itself.
