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.

US Ship of State Sinking

 

Thanks for supporting the Orwellian Police State:

First, watch the video, then have your hands available to catch your jaw when it drops:

Now, a bit of reflection, with a large dose of reality mixed in by necessity.

In summary up front: this is precisely why the United States of America exists in its current condition, on the cusp of total bankruptcy, dissolution and revolution.

The painfully-stupid American voter.

Because these are painfully-stupid people.  They are likely products of the American public school system in larger metropolitan areas — as in this venue, San Diego.

They are people who may have been — hopefully — “educated” (although there is a galaxy’s worth of difference between education and actual learning) but they clearly lack critical thinking and listening skills.

These are the people who voted for Barack Hussein Obama because he is, frankly, black — and it is high time that a “black man” be installed in DC as president. Caucasoids voted for Obama because they are GOWPs: Guilty, Overeducated White People.  Blacks — both dead and alive — voted for Obama because their sole issue was melanin count.  Both aspects are indeed racist in nature for having done just so.

These people didn’t vote for Obama because there is a known component of the man’s philosophy and background, not because he has a long and storied past of training, education and experience with many aspects of the American Experience itself.  Not because he has labored long and hard as a worker, doing physical jobs, then menial jobs, then promoted due to efficiency and prowess, then awarded promotions due to illuminating ideas and creative applications.  He hasn’t worked one day in private business.  He hasn’t had to make a payroll.  He hasn’t had to balance one professional budget.  He has been petted and licked and groomed from so-called “community organizer” right into the oval office of the currently re-named Spite House.

He is the man who refuses to release his college transcripts, whom no one seems to recall attending any actual classes, who may actually not be born in the United States, who is completely opaque,

Obama has managed to out-Bush Mr. Bush in terms of spending, military incursions, drone strikes and the issuance of bills and EOs promoting oppression of the American people.

And we wonder why we are in our current state?

DC LampreyYes, certainly, it’s the Political Lampreys in DC.

But it’s also the people clearly displayed in the above video.

“We.”

The “People.”

House Republicans pass test vote to defund Obamacare; shutdown edges closer

Cruz ObamacareFrom the WashingtonTimes.com:

By Tom Howell Jr., The Washington Times

House Republicans survived a key test vote Thursday on their plan to keep the government running while trying to halt the health care law, defying a veto threat from President Obama and inching closer to a shutdown showdown with Senate Democrats.

Top Republicans say their party’s strategy is unlikely to succeed and not worth shutting down the government, but some rank-and-file lawmakers said they have to draw a line now and use the leverage of the spending bill to end the president’s signature achievement.

Ted Cruz hit the nail on the head during an interview with Hugh Hewitt.  In one reply, Senator Cruz stated:

TC:    .  .  . every day it becomes clearer and clearer that this thing isn’t working, that more and more Americans are losing their jobs, are not getting hired in the first place. More and more Americans are finding themselves forcibly reduced to 29 hours a week. More and more Americans are seeing skyrocketing health insurance premiums. And more and more Americans are losing their health insurance altogether. And as you noted, the fact that the unions are jumping ship, I mean, there is bipartisan agreement that it isn’t working, and President Obama has already lawlessly granted exemptions for big corporations and for members of Congress. And this fight over defunding Obamacare in one sentence is about if President Obama will grant waivers to big corporations and members of Congress, why would President Obama threaten to shut down the federal government in order to deny those same waivers to hard-working American families?

Correct: if Obamacare is so wonderful, why are there any exemptions whatsoever, to either corporations who donated to Mr Obama’s campaign, or any DC politician and their staffs?  If Obamacare is so wonderful, inclusive, less expensive and more efficient, why would there be any exemptions at all?

I think you know that answer.

And finally: a filibuster?

Democratic Official Allan Brauer Wishes Death on Ted Cruz Aide’s Children

BY:

Allan Brauer, the communications chair for the Democratic Party of Sacramento, Calif., told an aide to Sen. Ted Cruz (R., Tex.) on Friday that he hoped her children “die from debilitating, painful and incurable diseases.”

He followed up the attack with a series of vicious tweets:

Ah, those loving, understanding, compassionate, sensitive, tender, kind and all-inclusive Demorats and Leftists, embracing and considerate of all persons’ feelings and opinions.
