Here's an article I was just reading:
The Trillion Dollar Cost of Welfare .
Trillion. Why not just use the word "bazillion", because that's about the level of understanding that people seem to have about basic economic issues.
Guess what the reality is of American fiscal life. Here's a sample:
"...budget committee staff calculated at least an additional $283 billion in
state contributions to those same federal programs, for a total annual
expenditure of $1.03 trillion,
Now, with extra bonus what-the-hell-is-going-on-in-America info:
"The $1.03 trillion figure
doesn't include entitlement programs to which
people contribute like Social Security and Medicare, nor does it include
government veteran programs."
“Everyone wins when eligible people take advantage of benefits to which they are entitled.”
This is a document that is part of the federal government's (USDA/SNAP program) "community partner outreach tool kit"
How on earth can that be possible?
Everyone in a free society loses when they become addicted to the narcotic effect of entitlements.
But your government, my American friends-is telling you something else. It's telling you that it's better, better for everyone if you become a dependent, incapacitated entitlement zombie.
“Everyone wins when eligible people take advantage of benefits to which they are entitled.”
This is a terribly unnerving phrase and a woeful story, with no happy ending anywhere in sight-even if Romney wins.
