These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than

 

 

they do Employed! Last month, the Senate Budget

 

 

Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between

 

 

food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and

 

 

other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the

 

 

poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support.

 

 

What's the problem with that much support? Well, the

 

 

median household income in America is just over $50,000,

 

 

which averages out to $137.13 a day.To put it another way,

 

 

being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour

 

 

week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.

*************************************

 

 

Furthermore:

There are actually two messages here. The first is very

 

 

interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and

 

 

explains a lot.

 

 

A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very

 

 

interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations

 

 

International Health Organization.

 

 

Percentage of men and women who survived

 

 

a cancer five years after diagnosis:

 

 

U.S. 65%

England 46%

Canada 42%

 

 

Percentage of patients diagnosed with

 

 

diabetes who received treatment within six

 

 

months:

U.S. 93%

England 15%

Canada 43%

 

 

Percentage of seniors needing hip

 

 

replacement who received it within six

 

 

months:

U.S. 90%

England 15%

Canada 43%

 

 

Percentage referred to a medical specialist

 

 

who see one within one month:

U.S. 77%

England 40%

Canada 43%

 

 

Number of MRI scanners (a prime diagnostic

 

 

tool) per million people:

U.S. 71

England 14

Canada 18

 

 

Percentage of seniors (65+), with low

 

 

income, who say they are in "excellent

 

 

health":

U.S. 12%

England 2%

Canada 6%

 

 

*************************************

And now..for the last statistic:

 

 

National Health Insurance?

 

 

U.S. NO

England YES

Canada YES

*************************************

Check the last set of statistics!!

 

 

The percentage of each past president's cabinet... who had

 

 

worked in the private business sector...prior to their

 

 

appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private

 

 

business sector is; a real-life business...not a government

 

 

job.Here are the percentages.

 

 

T. Roosevelt................38%

Taft.............................40%

Wilson .......................52%

Harding.......................49%

Coolidge......................48%

Hoover.........................42%

F. Roosevelt.................50%

Truman........................50%

Eisenhower..................57%

Kennedy.......................30%

Johnson.......................47%

Nixon............................53%

Ford.............................42%

Carter...........................32%

Reagan........................56%

GH Bush......................51%

Clinton ........................39%

GW Bush.....................55%

Obama............... 8%

 

 

This helps explain the incompetence of this administration:

 

 

ONLY 8% of them...have ever worked in private business!

 

 

That's right! Only eight percent---the

 

 

least, by far, of the last 19 presidents!

Tell me about it; I live in the not so great state of Illinois. I called my state rep and told them I though the reason Illinois was such a pi$$ hole was from the lack of leadership.

 

I got a phone call about 2 days later from the rep telling me about all the good things being done in the state.

 

The joke is it was "ALL" compromise legislation.

 

Liberty and commonsense doesn't live in Illinois any more.
