According to online reports and items I’ve seen recently between 100 and 110 million people in this country are on some sort of government welfare. This does not include Social Security or Medicare, but it does include their sister benefits - SSI, SSDI, and Medicaid, plus SNAP, TANF, Section 8, et al.

I believe that I read where one of the last rounds of unemployment releases said that more people applied for disability that month than filed for unemployment.

With these numbers, dramatically increased during Obama’s tenure, this country will not survive, unless there is a very drastic change - soon.

The USA is just like the family in 2007 riding a wave of false prosperity based on credit cards and helocs on houses with negative equity.

The regime is spending $1.40 for every $1 in revenue to buy votes.

this really bothers me..

there is a remote possibility that I may have to apply for this due to a condition..

I would hate to be accepted, then kicked out in a “purge” of the rolls because of this blatant fraud..

Gramsci's ghost haunts us still. This is all happening precisely as Gramsci envisioned back at the beginning of the twentieth century: demoralization, destabilization, "normalization" into tyranny.

I highly recommend reading Malachi Martin's The Keys of This Blood for his chapter on Gramsci and what his meme portends for the rest of us.

I think the point of 'unless' has long passed.First thought is it's time to find another country and emigrate but with the USA gone down the hole there will soon be no other countries with anything better than the USA. The little countries will be gobbled up again by the big countries, including the USA and the evolution in Europe will become communism rapidly. Worldwide socialism must beget famine and population reduction as Socialist Agriculture begins to experience annual bad weather crop failures all around the world. Socialist countries cannot support any sort of prosperity for those not part of the ruling class without a free and strong USA to back them up as with Europe.

America is in the midst of transformation from Republic to Empire.
