Over 100 Million Now Receiving Federal Welfare
A new chart set to be released later today by the Republican side of the Senate Budget Committee details a startling statistic: “Over 100 Million People in U.S. Now Receiving Some Form Of Federal Welfare.”
Phones for votes « Coach is Right

Illegal aliens now quite possibly can call a toll free government number, 1-800-259-0957, to get a free “Obama Phone,” called Safe Link Wireless, if they are on food stamps or Medicaid. By applying for work permits that give them drivers’ licenses, that now provides proof of identity, they enter America’s Entitlement class and even become entitled to vote in our elections, for Democrats, of course. What, you say? (1)

And The Economy Is About To Get A Whole Lot Worse
The Economic Collapse
Wednesday, November 30, 2011
Have you ever been so poor that you had to live in your car? Have you ever been so low on funds that the only place you could afford to live was a rat-infested motel? Have you ever spent a night living in a tent city or sleeping in the streets? If not, you should consider yourself to be very fortunate.
Only National Collapse Will End America’s Spending Problem
While many are complaining about the recent debt-ceiling deal, is it really the issue? Sure, statists say that the Republicans steered us toward crisis with their initial unwillingness to compromise, while traditionalists complain that the GOP folded and “let us down again.” Our problems, however, lie not in our politicians but in ourselves.
Just so you know, my solution to our spending woes would be to once again limit the central government to only that which our Constitution dictates it may do, which would cause its budget to immediately shrink by at least two-thirds — and probably far more. Of course, this would involve eliminating bureaucracies such as the Department of Education, Environmental Protection Agency, and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and programs such as Social Security and federally provided food stamps. There would be nothing to fear, either, as there is much duplication here; for example, states have their own environmental and education agencies and other bureaucracies/programs that render the feds’ corresponding ones redundant. And why are we paying for two different levels of government to do the same thing? As for third-rail program Social Security, it could be devolved to the states, whose residents could then decide what its future would be.
Oh, this is unrealistic and will never happen, you say?
You’re right.
And it was just as unrealistic to think that Republicans, who control only one-half of one-third of the government — and very little of the media, which shapes public opinion — would deliver a Tea Party plan in a spending-party culture.

You Call This An Economic Recovery? 44 Million Americans On Food Stamps and 10 Other Reasons Why The Economy Is Simply Not Getting Better
If you went out today and started spending one dollar every single second, it would take you over 31,000 years to spend one trillion dollars. Long ago the U.S. government should have been getting these deficits under control, but instead they are just getting even larger.
So in light of the statistics above, can anyone really claim that we are in the middle of an economic recovery?The truth is that there is no sign that any of the long-term trends that are destroying the U.S. economy are even slowing down.Millions of jobs continue to be shipped overseas.
The U.S. dollar continues to be devalued.The federal government continues to go into more debt.State and local governments continue to go into more debt.Our trade deficit continues to grow.Our cities continue to be transformed into wastelands as they are being systematically deindustrialized.The number of Americans that are dependent on the government continues to soar.The U.S. middle class continues to shrink.
I know that I harp on these themes over and over, but it is vitally important that everyone understands that the mainstream media is lying to us.The U.S. economy is dying a very painful death and there is no hope on the horizon.Things are not going to be getting better. Well, they may get a bit better for the boys down on Wall Street, but for the rest of us our standards of living are going to continue to decline.The best days for the U.S. economy are already behind us. What lies ahead is a whole lot of pain.We are going to pay the price for decades of corruption and incompetence.An economic collapse is coming and you had better get ready…..
Frosty Wooldridge — Americans Need to Drop Down to the Poverty Levels of the Third World
Zakaria, not an American by birth and didn’t grow up here, somehow enjoys ‘affirmative action’ at Time Magazine to allow him a treatise on our country from his Indian bias.
I wrote a rebuttal and added a bit of a reality check. I’m asking you to write one into Time, too, after you read his piece in the November 1, 2010 issue of Time.

Dear Time editors:Re: “Restoring the American Dream,” 11/1/10, Zakaria, Time MagazineAdvertisementFareed Zakaria makes good points, but fails to address the causes of the loss of the American Dream. How about our elected Congress critters outsourcing, offshoring and insourcing millions of American jobs to India, China, Bangladesh, Mexico and elsewhere? How about that $700 billion annual trade debt because we no longer manufacture our own products? How about Congress flooding our country with 70 to 80 million immigrants since 1965—to displace our citizens from jobs, schools, our language and culture—as well as create human population overload like Zakaria’s India? How about our Congress throwing us into unwarranted wars that dragged us into a $12 trillion debt dungeon? What about 41.8 million Americans subsisting on food stamps and 15 million unemployed Americans because Congress won’t secure our borders or stop endless immigration or stop outsourcing jobs?
How about our presidents and Congress members that work against our interests to make sure the American Dream can never be realized by a growing number of Americans? It’s as if our own elected leaders engineered our decline as a civilization. How do we get 41.8 million Americans off food stamps when we import 1.3 million immigrants annually, along with 800,000 illegal migrants and another 900,000 of their children being birthed once they arrived each year—which enjoy welfare at our expense? How can we every catch up to employing our own 15 million unemployed citizens or the 41.8 million living on food stamps? We cannot! The American Dream will be seen as a brief fantasy circa 1960 through 2010.
