He ain't through taking your money yet. He has at least 3 more years to get all his supporters a new Chevrolet and a spare foreclosed home owned by one of his banks. He still needs to nationalize one of the oil companies for that free gas.
Watch his next campaign... he then will campaign that he still has goals to fulfill like supplying more free benefits. He will convince his supporters there is more to be taken from the wealthy.
He may even need a 3rd term.
You're a real estate agent and you'll deny that the $8000 credit to first time home buyers is helping?
cobine the fact that 1 in 5 noe dropout of high school then the stats of even having a skill worth hiring seems to say alot.It hard to make it in a 21st cnetury society with a early 20th centruy ability is the reality.
Does anyone realize that in Obama's budget for 2010 that he will spend more money on welfare recipients then the "entire" Iraq War cost?
To me that is just ridiculous.
To me it just proving he wants people to be weak and without. People who rely on the government like this have no choice but to get in line and follow the leader.
His agenda is playing out good for him.
He knows that if you rely on the government for everything he can control your every move. Exactly what he wants.
I really don't see anyway to prevent this unless the job market picks up tremendously with varied jobs for skilled and unskilled workers. I don't think this particuar report has anything to do with traditional families, deadbeat Dads, people on Welfare etc. First off, you can qualify for food stamps and be working but fall under the federal poverty level for your family size. Second, this report includes people that may need food stamps for 6 months or even 2 months due to being laid off from their job so I doubt that a working person that falls on hard times due to unemployment would qualify as "welfare culture" and would pass this onto their children.
I think this report is really letting people know that 50% of children and 90% of African-Americans will at one point in their lives fall under the federal poverty level and that in itself is more of a cry for alarm than how many will receive food stamps, IMHO.
Food stamps are about supporting agribusiness by providing a market for food and the fact that the program feeds childern is completely incidental. If the food was purchased with food stamps and then thrown away the program would work just as well. Most "welfare" programs work in this manner.
Stop electing democrats and stop electing republicans who think government spending is a good idea.
Start electing people who believe in real free markets and build an economy that hires lots and lots of people.
DEMAND that each person have the basic understanding that they own the responsibility for themselves. That the government is not the answer to all their woes.
Real free markets would have 80-90% of U.S. kids on food stamps while the kids of the top 10% thrive.
Yes I speak from personal experience. I have known two women on food stamps.One had a child from a local rock band member who has sex with so many women he literally didn't recognize her a few weeks latter. The other woman decided she wanted to have a child and said "I'm going to go to the club and find the best looking man I can find and have sex with him unprotected". She ended up having two children from two different random men. Both of these women grew up in middle class homes but became very downscale after making these choices. Just goes to show that poverty is often the result of poor personal decisions, not random chance.
Okay. What does this have to do with welfare and food stamps? In your example, one woman was motivated by sex, and the other by pregnancy. You claimed that welfare provides an advantage for "bad men." Do you think rock musicians would get laid less if we do away with food stamps? I'd agree that welfare may enter a woman's mind when desiring to have a child, but that doesn't provide any advantage to "bad men." Indeed, since child support is enforceable regardless of the circumstances, not telling a partner that she might get pregnant would make the woman bad. All that's happened here is a few random guys got laid. It doesn't make them "bad," and there is no advantage given to bad men.
Women are attracted to men for many reasons, but choosing a "bad man" over a "good man" because she can fall back on food stamps is not a reason I've encountered.

I loved back in 1994 when Newt Gingrich said that if parents can't afford children the kids should go to an orphanage instead of going on welfare. I almost cried in joy when he said that. He was my hero until recently when he supported the RINO over the true conservative in NY-23. I dont think of him the same anymore.
And you guys have the nerve to call Obama a dictator?
