Calling Trump voters "deplorables" worked so well for Hillary. Please... do continue. We'll never see another Dem president for decades to come.

Halting the right-wing dumbness epidemic would be a good use of a trillion dollars if it actually were available somewhere.

Here you go:

Medicaid reports (as of June 29, 2015) that 48% of all US births each year are paid for by Medicaid, the welfare health care program for the poor.

"Nearly two out of three adult women enrolled in Medicaid are in their reproductive years (ages 19 to 44), and Medicaid currently finances about 48 percent of all births in the United States."

70% of that 48% NEVER rise above poverty level.

He can come up with them, its relatively accurate. Fun fact though...take a look at the states with the highest %. Notice anything about them?

1. New Mexico ─ 72 percent
2. Arkansas ─ 67 percent
3. Louisiana ─ 65 percent
4. Mississippi ─ 64 percent
5. Nevada ─ 64 percent
6. Wisconsin ─ 64 percent
7. Oklahoma ─ 60 percent
8. South Carolina ─ 60 percent
9. Alabama ─ 58 percent
10. Arizona ─ 54 percent

24 states all told have 50% or more paid by medicare.

It's Medicaid. Totally free for those on it, no FICA need have ever been paid. Now look at those stats by race. See if you notice what's going on.

Welfare abuse is a cottage industry to certain segments of the population.

Cut the budgets for the deadbeats.

That's what should really pizz everyone off.

You betcha and it pisses me off mightily.


I live in a Senior Independent community. There are Section 8 slackers here and they get free everything, including huge discounts on rent. One of my slug neighbors pays $200/rent, has had both knees replaced, no charge, heart pump of some sort, free, gets pretty much free food, anything she wants. I, on the other hand, pay for everything, including full cost for insurance. I'm sick to death of welfare slugs.

It's been inching up now for years. The George Washington University study noted that medicaid financed births went from 40% (2008) to 48% (2010).

Seven years later it's probably closer to 60% now if not more with expanded medicaid.

Quite obviously, you have to become a slug.

Good point.

I'll bet very few realize how US welfare policy and programs are resulting in an exponentially growing permanent welfare-dependent underclass. It's mathematically unsustainable. Period.
