Obama creating a nation of lazy, good-for-nothing mooches

An interesting fact in this article is the transfer of the unemployed into permanent disability. This in effect lessens the available worker base and makes Obama's unemployment stats look better. Also this vast increase in food stamps and disability add to the voter base that are dependent on the government. The longer they remain on the dole, the less likely they will ever go back to work. The Democrats depend on this to retain control of our government and our lives.


Excerpt: Food stamps are being used everywhere from cruise ships to casinos. There’s even a YouTube video showing how widely-accepted EBT (food stamp) cards are for non-necessities. Now, more people than ever have turned to the government program: The Congressional Budget Office said Thursday that 45 million people in 2011 received Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits, a 70% increase from 2007. It said the number of people receiving the benefits, commonly known as food stamps, would continue growing until 2014. 


 If the economy is getting better, why the expectation that more people will be requiring food stamps? Shouldn’t this have at least leveled-off if the jobs situation has stabilized? The CBO apparently sees an economy in decline for almost another two years. 


While food stamps could arguably be for those not necessarily lazy, those opting for disability instead of a job is getting out-of-hand [emphasis added]: 


A record 5.4 million workers and their dependents have signed up to collect federal disability checks since President Obama took office, according to the latest official government data, as discouraged workers increasingly give up looking for jobs and take advantage of the federal program. 


The number equates to 6% of the active workforce going on disability – a record ratio. 


Having the long-term unemployed go on to Social Security Disability is certainly better for the incumbent President and Democrat Senate. It falsely lowers the unemployment rate by taking those people permanently out of the work force.


Another negative impact is that Social Security is being drained even faster by folks who would otherwise be able to work. 


The relaxation of eligibility rules and Obama’s failed economy is accelerating the demise of the senior entitlement program by turning it into a permanent unemployment benefit.
