The Progressive Liberal Agenda : Dependency

Believe that this is what Mr Obama wants and has wanted all along - he wants to see this country in decline and be brought to heel by the rest of the world. This is what his father taught him from the beginning.

It isn't fare that others have power to control when you don't - think about it. Remember his words, "I want to fundamentally change America." Any question about where he wants to do and is now taking us in that direction?

The United States of Dependency?

New reports suggest America is not only hurting economically under President Obama, but also on a dangerous road to fiscal decline and growing dependence on government, says Investor's Business Daily.


Here are just a few recent reports about the alarming growth in dependency:

•In the second quarter of 2011, 107 million Americans were receiving some kind of government welfare -- not including Medicare or Social Security -- according to a new study from the Senate Budget Committee. That's up from 97 million just over two years ago.
•In the last three months, more people have applied for Social Security disability payments than found jobs in the private sector, federal data show.
•A new economic study says almost half of Americans die with less than $10,000 in assets -- a sad comment on how government has displaced personal initiative and private savings in preparing for retirement.
•In today's federal budget, 70 percent of all spending now goes to aid for individuals such as housing, food, income, student aid or other forms of welfare.
•Still another study estimates that total U.S. long-term debt now stands at $211 trillion, up $11 trillion in just one year, thanks to growing red ink from out-of-control entitlement spending.

The trends have been growing for some time and must be stopped before it is too late.
