Every Time Obama Expands Government The Economy Gets Worse, Causing Americans To Need Government Help Even More
This story is from February of this year, but I thought we ought to think about it again.
Government assistance expands
More than a third of Americans lived in households receiving government assistance in 2010.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- More than one in three Americans lived in households that received Medicaid, food stamps or other means-based government assistance in mid-2010, according to a new report.
And when Social Security, Medicare and unemployment benefits are included, nearly half of the nation lived in a household that received a government check, according to the analysis of third-quarter 2010 Census data done by the Mercatus Center at George Mason University, a libertarian-leaning think tank. That's more than 148 million Americans.
Obama is the Pusherman.
AMERICA HAD UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE COVERAGE BEFORE OBAMACARE
ONE OF THE MANY "BIG LIES" OF THE LEFT IN THE OBAMACARE DEBATE IS THAT OBAMACARE ENABLES AMERICANS TO HAVE UNIVERSAL HEALTHCARE COVERAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME.
BULLSHIT.
AMERICANS HAVE HAD UNIVERSAL COVERAGE FOR DECADES. FOR DECADES ANY HOSPITAL WHICH GETS ANY FEDERAL MONEY - IN THE FORM OF MEDICAID OR MEDICARE PAYMENTS - HAS TO PROVIDE ARE TO ANYONE AND EVERYONE REGARDLESS OF ABILITY TO PAY OR NATIONALITY.
