Welfare Recipients Now Outnumber Workers

[Sunshine]

If that is true, and the welfare recipients indicate an unwillingness to ever go back to work, it's over. The democrats have their dictatorship until the nation has its final economic collapse. Eventually the unwillingness to get off one's ass will end up in Leninesque forced labor camps.

Once a person starts drawing 'rocking chair money' they simply decide to make to with what they are getting and not return to work.

Census Bureau: Welfare Recipients Now Outnumber Full-Time Workers…

Work harder everyone, millions of Obamabots are depending on you.

Via CNS News:

Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau.

They also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.

There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs, the Census Bureau said in data released this week. Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, there were 101,716,000 people who worked full-time year round in 2011. That included both private-sector and government workers.

That means there were about 1.07 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every 1 person working full-time year round.

Your source is full of crap.

The total number of full time working Americans is 155,559,000, according the the U.S. labor department.

Employment Situation Summary Table A. Household data, seasonally adjusted

The total number of welfare recipients is 12,800,000.

The title of your thread is simply a lie.

Even if you include social security, medicaid, etc. (which are not welfare) it's less than the total number of full time working Americans.

Number of food stamp recipients ALONE is 3X what you state as the people receiving welfare...

Of course you are 100% correct. I debunked the thread a little earlier.

But facts never seem to get in the way of a good rant.

No, you didn't.

At the link I provided....

Among the 108,592,000 people who fit the Census Bureau’s description of a means-tested benefit recipient in the fourth quarter of 2011 were 82,457,000 people in households receiving Medicaid, 49,073,000 beneficiaries of food stamps, 20,223,000 on Supplemental Security Income, 23,228,000 in the Women, Infants and Children program, 13,433,000 in public or subsidized rental housing, and 5,854,000 in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program. Also among the 108,592,000 means-tested benefit recipients counted by the Census Bureau were people getting free or reduced-price lunch or breakfast, state-administered supplemental security income and means-tested veterans pensions.

The 108,592,000 people who were recipients of means-tested government programs in the fourth quarter of 2011 does not include people who received benefits from non-means-tested government programs but not from means-tested ones. That would include, for example, people who received Social Security, Medicare, unemployment, or non-means-tested veterans compensation, but did not receive benefits from a means-tested program such as food stamps or public housing.

In the fourth quarter of 2011, according to the Census Bureau, there were 49,901,000 people who received Social Security benefits, 46,440,000 who received Medicare benefits, 5,098,000 on unemployment, and 3,178,000 who received non-means-tested veterans compensation.

When the people who received non-means-tested government benefits from programs such as Social Security, Medicare, unemployment and non-means-tested veterans compensation are added to those who received means-tested government programs such as food stamps, Supplemental Security Income and public housing, the total number of people receiving government benefits from one or more programs in the United States in 2011 climbs to 151,014,000, according to the Census Bureau.

Are you accusing a dimocrap of lying?

Shocking

 

[nodoginnafight]

Yes, I did.

The link you provided is the propaganda rag of Media Research Center. They cooked their numbers pretty bad. They even tell you in the piece how they did it.

The REAL numbers:

The number stated that receive any portion of their support from from welfare assistance--including food stamps--it is 29,900,000 or roughly 8% of the total population in the United States.

This breaks down to:

39% white 11,661,000 of 29,900,000 recipients

38% black 11,362,000 of 29,900,000

17% Hispanic 5,083,000 of 29,900,000

What percentage of people in US are on welfare

Another metric is the payroll-to-population ratio, which is a measure of the percentage of the total adult population that is employed full time. Gallup has been tracking this metric since at least 2011. In its August 1 report, Gallup reported that its P2P ratio remained relatively unchanged on the month at 44.8 percent in July and also nearly unchanged from the 45 percent rate recorded in the year-ago period.

That's still less than the total number of full time workers.

And many full time workers get food stamps because their wages are so low.

Hispanics Favor Bigger Role for Government | Pew Research Center

Support for a larger government is highest among immigrant Latinos, with 81% holding this view. This share falls to 72% among second-generation Hispanics and 58% among third-generation Hispanics.

With these kinds of numbers, we are going to be taking this to its very bitter end. Democrats are going to feel that a permanent welfare class is a good thing, it's a fair thing, no one should have to be a wage slave and have to work. This is what their end goal looks like. In reality, as you know, this has happened before, it was solved by Lenin, by Mao, by Castro, the only answer is forced labor camps.

Really? Then why does the unemployment figures drop like a rock when there are jobs available? Like when Clinton was in office. That is just another lie told by 'Conservatives' to justify the job killing policies that they support. You people showed us just what you were made of in the shutdown fiasco. You care absolutely nothing about the American Citizen, it is all about the tax cuts for the rich, and keeping wages at rock bottom.

[Sunshine]

But I'm not so sure.

I think a LOT of these people would rather work and have some self-respect.

Not all. Certainly not all. But a lot.

People will turn to dimocraps when they don't see an alternative. When they don't believe they have a chance in this world to make something of themselves, to lead a decent life, to steer their own ship and to be masters of their own destiny.

And even though the dimocrap party has done its best to emasculate America and have The State take the place of the Husband and Father in this Country, the instinct is still there in most males.

You can easily see the results of our pathetic educational establishment and Pop Culture in the effeminate nature of most libs, especially the ones on this Board.

Think about it.

The 'Y' chromosome is still around, despite dimocrap efforts to stamp it out

you forget the other part of the equation - the dehumanazing process of the ones who carry two X.
the result can be observed on this board as well. Effeminate males and rabid, angry, unhappy females who hate their own nature and the males - is not a good combination for a healthy society to exist.

Think about this for a minute....

Ever notice that in relationships where the Male is a weak-kneed, limp-wristed, gutless libturd that the Female starts to take on male characteristics?

It's true. Simple observation will tell you that it's true.

Not always initially. In fact, seldom initially. But as the relationship progresses and ages, the female takes on more of the role of the aggressive protector and defender.

Some females are that way by genetic composition, but not nearly as many as one might think.

It's an acquired trait more than a genetic one

I had to start supporting my family in 1986 when my husband died. I don't think I have male characteristics. If anything it would be the opposite because I often found that I could get better treatment from men if they knew my circumstance. I always dressed professionally, but not like a man.

 

[nodoginnafight]

Your source didn't count the number of people "receiving means tested aid."
Read your source CAREFULLY, and tell me exactly what they counted (and incorrectly at that) to get to their number ....

Food stamps are not welfare. Welfare is cash. Even if you include those people, it's far less than the total number of full time workers, thus debunking the original claim of the thread.

With the benefits of not working being so good, I think we should all just quit and let the Mexicans work and pay all the taxes needed to support us!

The job killing policies are over taxation and over regulation. Continue to follow these policies and businesses will simply move out of the country, as they have been doing all along.

 

[thanatos144]

I have to believe that a great majority of these people receiving things like food stamps are doing so just to feed their families in today's economy that Obama created men and women have to do whatever they have to do to feed their families I don't look down upon them for that I looked down upon the government for forcing them to do that
