After the 47% excuse from RMoney 6 months before the the election as if to apologize in advance for his impending loss ... we have been lied to about how many are on welfare.

Lets try some dry old numbers.

Total number of Americans on welfare      - 4,300,000

The source - http://statisticbrain.com/welfare-statistics/ in case that's too librull propaganda for you post your correct website.

It is 4.1%. So lets try this one more time ... 47% is a lie offered up by RMoney to cover for his up coming failure. So we now say this 4.1% that is making less than the poverty line on welfare - total of $131.9 billion /yr is burying the country, when it almost immediately is put back in the economy ? Yea more lies.

Cool.

Disability - glad you brought that up - so that would be the guy with his leg blown off in Iraq and the guy who lost 1/2 his brain in afghanisthan right ? Good, so who's paying for it ? Obama is your guess. And who caused it ? Not Obama, Bush is my guess.

There is a guy who didn't work and this and that, we all know these cases ... there is a few 100,000 that way. It still is part of the 5.1 million was it - on unemployment, and not the 4.3 million on welfare.

In a sense Bush opened the flood gates - the biggest change for qualifying for these programs happened under Bush. He knows his demographic. Much Like our local republicomunnist Pat McCrory. He cut unemployment benefit payments, and didn't touch welfare.

Anyway Bush also sent a lot of people to slaughter under false pretenses and some of them came back only partially slaughtered - and they went on the rolls that he expanded. Promptly adding to the deficit which now has been hung on obama's neck by the TEA baggers.

The only 47% still is the 47% that voted for RMoney, who advocates lower taxes for the rich - lower than his 13% opposed to everyone else's 25% and he advocates cutting benefits for the poorest, cos he knows of 1 guy who has been playing video games on unemployment.

And since you brought up disability -

The number of workers taking federal disability insurance payments hit yet another record in July, increasing to 8,753,935 during the month from the previous record of 8,733,461 set in June, according to newly released data from the Social Security Administration.

Thia is the site: http://cnsnews.com/news/article/8753935-workers-disability-set-another-record...

So lets see, 4.3 million on welfare, 5.1 mill unemployed, 8.7 mill disabled, and most of these likely included in the 47 million on SNAP.
Still dont count to 47%. Closer to 20% ... 335 million+ illegals (10-80million) right.

Cool.

Bush, Bush, Bush, Bush. Point the finger all you want.
If Obama wanted to go back and criticize everything Bush did he would've. In fact it was one of his campaign promises, remember? But he didn't.

He didn't cos he's continuing it. He didn't because that would look like he's not even going to try. You (as a republicommunist team on savage) are blaming Obama where you should have been blaming Bush.

The huge number added to disability has nothing at all to do with causalities in Iraq or Afghanistan. My point, which any reasonable person would understand, is simply counting the number on the technical definition of welfare and using that for yet another stupid attack on Romney and to pump up the guy you've got a man-crush on; Obama, is misleading at best, and an outright lie at worst.


Dude how do you know the disabled from Iraq/afghan wars are not in the 8.7 million on disability ? call me stupid all you want, the numbers are burying you. Dont blame Obama for what Bush did, dont blame Obama for what RMoney promised, dont compare Obama to your hypothetical Ron Paul - he was buried by the republicommunists before he ever got out of the gate. Everything you're blaming Obama for were all done by Bush first, or by Bush in a larger sense.

You once again dont have a leg to stand on, the numbers prove it. The reason you dislike Obama has nothing to do with any of the economic or other policies. Go back to talking about dead babies with abortion and how abortion is hurting women cos 50% of aborted babies are girls, and how legitimate rape is this or that ... that's what you do best. Anything numbers - they are out in the real world. Can be pulled up via google.

OK to get to 47% we need to get 150 million+.

So far we have a good double counted 60 million. That would be 23% ... hey that's the amount I paid in taxes, as opposed to RMoney who paid 13% ... what a coincidence.

Cool.

Wow, you paid $6 million in taxes?? Well, almost 6 million, 13% doubled is 26% and you say you paid 23% and make a big fuss about it so if you paid anything less than $5 million in taxes then you have nothing to complain about. You should be thanking Romney for his generous refusal to leave the country and take his rightfully earned money with him..
