"We're headed in the right direction. Unemployment continues to drop and those people who are unemployed, they're not going to be voting for the party who wants to cut their benefits, cut access to food stamps, cut job training," Rep. Chaka Fattah (D-PA) said on MSNBC's Al Sharpton program.

What will the riots look like when that teat dries up and can’t give any more milk?

Joke's on them. The welfare hammock they've created has given them a generation that is too lazy to get off the couch, turn off Jerry Springer and go outside for a good riot.

You need race-baiting to instigate a good riot these days.

Unemployed Will Vote For Obama To Keep "Their Benefits"

And hence, the Democrat goal is to keep this voter block as large as possible.

Promising freebies is all the Demonrats have left.

[SnakeDoctor]

Perhaps those that would rather have benefits than a job. They were Obama voters anyway, though.

What happens when the dollar becomes worthless and EBT cards stop being able to buy anything?

Here's what I think will happen. Those of us that are self-reliant will suffer mightily from a worthless dollar. Those EBT cards will no longer register in "dollars", but credits. Their credits will be worth far more than the dollars in our pockets and the entitlement crowd won't skip a beat until us producers are all completely tapped out; until no other country will lend to us; until there is no wealth left to pillage and re-distribute via the Government (and that is a long way off; why, there is still our personal retirements to steal from, plenty of "dollars" still out there).

Make no mistake, the politicians will fight tooth and nail to take care of the looters first because they know the producers will be to busy working for our very survival.

Here is an idea for a nice black propaganda trick. Create a genuine looking 'secret' Dem memo that talks about how unemployment benefits must be cut regardless of the impact on the poor. Then it can say that the Repubs must be painted as wanting the cuts prior to the election. Make a prominent statement to the effect that those on unemployment will believe this because they tend to be poor, uneducated and are easily misled. Once Buraq is reelected the Dems can pass legislation drastically cutting the bennies and blame the Repubs. "After all, the Repubs wanted to cut the bennies, didn't they. We told you before the election!"

That is....”the plan”.....

Yep...I'm curious as to a.) What the increase in welfare/IBT recipients is since Bamster took office, and b.) What is the increase in the number of grocery stores that now accept IBT cards, since he took office.

The first question's been answered on various sites/Rush's show, etc., but I don't recall the exact number. I can't ever seem to find an answer to the second question.

obvious game plan is ... obvious

every conservative knows their plan.

the ‘republican leadership’ can’t seem to figure it out.

why? because the GOP was infiltrated by progressives decades ago

I wonder if trained groups have lists of the people who got us into this mess (media, financiers and politicians) so when there is a civil war, the guilty will not emerge on the other side of it.

The people who are creating the chaos should not be rewarded the way Lenin, Mao, Castro, Chevez, Mugabe and others have been. I know those people will face justice upon Christ's return, but I really hope that the people making the mess today will face justice in this life.

I thought Chaka Fatah was a musical about Jihad.

It will give them an excuse to nationalize anything associated with food production.

I also think that is the idea behind driving up fuel cost.

Give them an excuse to nationalize the mineral wealth, oil, gas, coal, etc., owned by private individuals under their land.

"A democracy cannot exist as a permanent form of government. It can only exist until the majority discovers it can vote itself largess out of the public treasury.

Which is why our forefathers formed a REPUBLIC.

And the tipping point has been reached

We are well on our way to a SOCIALIST DEMOCRACY.

Don't worry though. Other than the ruling elite, everyone will be equal and have the same rights. None.

Promising freebies is all the Demonrats have left.

That's why Barry will get more traction out of his Student Loan scam. The thought of forgiving loans an opening up a lot of space in the family budget will appeal to large numbers of middle-class people.

" You need race-baiting to instigate a good riot these days."

As if we don't have that in abundance right now, thanks to the MSM, the POTUS, the AG, black "leaders" like Jackson and Sharpton, the NBPP, the NAACP.........tell me when to stop.

[Qbert]

Yet it’s somehow “shocking” and “uncivil” if we say that the Democrats’ real goal is for the country to fail...

[Iscool]

Unfortunately, they are correct...
It’s pretty clear that neither side has a plan, or even a desire to tackle the unemployment problem...
People aren’t going to worry about next year when they are too busy worrying about next week...

[UCANSEE2]

Give them an excuse to nationalize the mineral wealth, oil, gas, coal, etc., owned by private individuals under their land.

Well... they have to pay off those Chinese loans somehow. Since the politicians pocket most of the cash, one must barter. The government cannot 'barter' what it doesn't 'own'. So... it must take it away from the citizens.

I’m currently unemployed, and I’d rather have a job. I had one when George Bush was President.

Whoever here coined the term “FSA” (as in Free $hit Army) was right on the money.
