One would assume that with the millions out of work, those unemployed would be voting for whoever is running against the incumbent, and therefore in this case Romney has a large block of voters in his pocket.
However, if you are unemployed and becoming accustomed to drawing unemployment, and welfare who is the candidate most likely to help you remain on the dole ?
Obviously Obama.
What it comes down to, is while it would be nice to think all of these people WANT off the government nipple, that is obviously not the case.
In affect, millions of these people in truth are voters who are actually in the pocket of Obama.
I guess we can see why James Madison, among other founding fathers, believed in allowing only property owners to vote. .
When you hear numbers like 100 million on welfare, it should be an issue that unites Americans, not divides. The talking point should be "how do we grow the middle class and get these struggling Americans into a more financially secure position". Instead all I ever read is name calling and blaming.
Interesting............we have over 100 million people on welfare (according to the OP), yet there are only 300 million people TOTAL POPULATION in the U.S.
That would mean that 1 out of every 3 people are currently on welfare (according to the OP).
Where did you get that info dude, did you pull it outta your ass?

I know...1/3rd Americans on Welfare? Really? Does this go with the 200 million a day spent on the India trip?

When I hear a number like "100 million on welfare" I start wondering where they pulled that figure out from (probably their ass), because there are only 300 million people TOTAL POPULATION IN THIS COUNTRY.
That would mean that 1 out of every 3 Americans is currently on welfare, which sounds like bullshit to me.
Jane Devin: Political Propaganda: "100 Million Receiving Welfare"
Here's huffs take.
I tried to find a more detailed breakdown of what they are including to get that number but I can't find it anywhere.
Looks like its a BS chart

Maybe they are counting the children of the recipients as well?

Still wouldn't come up to 1/3 of the population of the U.S.

not only are they counting everyone in the family if only one person is getting assistance, they are also counting the same people more than once for each "overlapping" program!!! So if a family is getting food stamps and a child of that family gets school lunches from the government, that family is counted twice!!!Not that it matters to those who such pre-conceived views, but this graph is a blatant example of political propaganda. Read the fine print:
"Figures include anyone residing in a household where at least one person received a program benefit." In other words, if your disabled brother lives with your family of six, and was a recipient of Medicaid (not to be confused with Medicare), all seven of you are listed as having received a welfare benefit.
But wait, there's more to welfare than just medical aid, right? Right. The report goes on to say, "The federal government administers nearly 80 different overlapping federal means-tested welfare programs..."
