1. What can you say about a nation that has more people getting handouts from the federal government than working full-time?  According to the latest numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau, the number of people receiving means-tested welfare benefits is greater than the number of full-time workers in the United States.

2. New numbers have just been released, and they show that the number of public school students in this country that are homeless is at an all-time record high.  It is hard to believe, but right now 1.2 million students that attend public schools in America are homeless.  That number has risen by 72 percent since the start of the last recession.

3. When I was growing up, it seemed like almost everyone was from a middle class home.  But now that has all changed.  One recent study discovered that nearly half of all public students in the United States come from low income homes.

4. How can anyone deny that we are a socialist nation when half the people are getting money from the federal government each month?  According to the most recent numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau, 49.2 percent of all Americans are receiving benefits from at least one government program.

Part of this is also due to birth rates among the various sectors of society.  How many middle class families reproduce at anywhere near the rates of those folks at the bottom end of the economic ladder?

Dont forget to consider the illegals who vote.

Unions were the driver that forced jobs overseas and now they are entrenched in the one sector that can't be outsourced, government. We are witnessing the expected and unsurprising fruition of social marxism, the cancer of socialism/liberalism destroys the healthy tissues and then moves on to the next when the current host is all used up.

Marxism/Socialism/Liberalism is a parasitic form of politics. Steal and engulf.

Dane I respectfully disagree. It was Clinton who signed Nafta. Once it was legal to ship jobs overseas it became the norm. How many $15 an hour non union jobs have been shipped overseas. I guarantee you more of them went overseas than union jobs. Except for the car industy unions have been losing power for the last 30 years and are and have been practically non existent here in the South. We've lost practically all our non union furniture and textile jobs here in NC. I'm sure unions played a small part of it, but not to the extent you believe it has. Blame it on the Goverment and greedy CEO's and upper management. Read how many of the banks we bailed out sent thousands of jobs overseas after we bailed them out. That really pissed me off. One bank sent over 50,000 jobs overseas, all non union jobs and that was after the bailout.  Right now our Goverment is our worst enemy and until more people realise it we are in real trouble.

Ohhh Look out there Gheorghe.. YOure reading between the lines & seeing whats not there with 20/20 vision.. Thatll get a guy a tin foil hat..
Ive been given quite a few, I can loan ya one till someone gets you your very own collection started if ya need one right away..
Once they killed JFK & started with the think tank people for the presidents cabinet, it was all over,, the unelecteds are making policy, our electeds are puppets, & they play along or theyre destroyed politically or financially or both & if that doesnt get them in line, they die.. How Ron Paul managed to get in & get out alive Ill never know,,They sure screwed Jim Trafficant. Right after he made a speech on the house floor about the federal reserve, All his "Illegal activities"( the same things everyone did to try to stay in office) he went to prison.,.,

Im leaning more towards his factual account of the fed being what brought them down on him, THAT is simply not allowed.. They woulda sunk Ron Paul had they had the ammo to do it with,, Thats how I see it, anyway.
As for his statement,, Beam me up/Surrounded by idiots,, Kinda hard to be angry at him for making a spot on observation,, well,, unless its about you, then, it mite be a bit of a pisser,,

Yepp,, seems that tone & inflection are just danged near imPossible with typed letters..
