Food stamp enrollment soared to record levels during the Obama years, peaking at nearly 48 million nationwide in 2013. Southern states are at the forefront of revising the welfare system; many are now requiring able body men and women to work for benefits. This has highlighted the welfare state in black and white. For instance according to AL.com, the number of those recipients in Alabama declined from 5,538 to 831 between Jan. 1 and the beginning of May – an 85 percent drop. Similar changes were implemented in select counties in Georgia and by the end of the first three months, the number of adults receiving benefits in three participating counties dropped 58 percent, according to the Georgia Public Policy Foundation. For these states we are seeing the beginning of the imploded welfare state. Other states are now looking at ways to do the same pointing out that a continuation on the same path will lead to Illinois and Connecticut. Both of these states are one step closer to the junkyard.
The statistics will tell you the sad story. Only 55% of able body Americans between the ages of 18 and 64 are working! Sixty percent of non working men receive disability benefits; 41% of nondisabled adults are on medicaid. Thirteen million Americans aged 18-54 currently receive SSDI or SSI benefits. AND YOU WONDER WHERE OUT MONEY GOES. We are the welfare state, built by Johnson all the way to Obama. The Republican RINO only gives it lip service. Will they get rid of Obamacare? Not in your lifetime.
