Welfare Larger Then Employment : States In Decline?

Is this what a majority in America voted for in the last two elections? Is this the future of our country where a majority of citizens voted out of fear and ignorance in the face of overwhelming evidence of an ideology riff with corruption and fraud? Is this who we have become? You decide.

These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed! Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and

other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the

poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support.

 

What's the problem with that much support? Well, the

median household income in America is just over $50,000,

which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way,

being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour

week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour. *************************************

Furthermore:
There are actually two messages here. The first is very

interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and

explains a lot.

 

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very

interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations

International Health Organization.

Percentage of men and women who survived

a cancer five years after diagnosis:

U.S. 65%
England 46%
Canada 42%                                          

Percentage of patients diagnosed with

diabetes who received treatment within six

months:
U.S. 93%
England 15%
Canada 43%

Percentage of seniors needing hip

replacement who received it within six

months:
U.S. 90%
England 15%
Canada 43%

Percentage referred to a medical specialist

who see one within one month:
U.S. 77%
England 40%
Canada 43%

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic

tool) per million people:
U.S. 71
England 14
Canada 18

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low

income, who say they are in "excellent

health":
U.S. 12%
England 2%

*************************************
And now for the last statistic:                                          

National Health Insurance?

U.S. NO

Canada YES

Check the last set of statistics!!

The percentage of each past president's cabinet... who had

worked in the private business sector...prior to their

appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private

business sector is; a real-life business...not a government

job. Here are the percentages.

T. Roosevelt................38%
Taft.............................40%
Wilson .......................52%
Harding.......................49%
Coolidge......................48%
Hoover.........................42%
F. Roosevelt.................50%
Truman........................50%
Eisenhower..................57%
Kennedy.......................30%
Johnson.......................47%
Nixon............................53%
Ford.............................42%
Carter...........................32%
Reagan........................56%
GH Bush......................51%
Clinton ........................39%
GW Bush.....................55%
Obama............... 8%

This helps explain the incompetence of this administration:

ONLY 8% of them...have ever worked in private business!

That's right! Only eight percent---the

least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And

these people are trying to tell our big corporations...how

to run their business?

How can the president of a major nation and society...the

one with the most successful economic system in world

history, stand and talk about business...when he's never

worked for one? Or about jobs...when he has never really

had one? And, when it's the same for 92% of his senior

staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time

in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs. Or...as

"community organizers."  They should have been in an employment line.
