Subject: Sad and Scary
Almost Unbelievable --- Latest U.S. Statistical
Make sure you read to the bottom. Quite an eye opener! (or should be)
1. California
2. New Mexico
3. Mississippi
4. Alabama
5. Illinois
6. Kentucky
7. Ohio
8. New York
9. Maine
10. South Carolina
These 10 States now have more people on welfare than they have employed!!!
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reported that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000, which
averages out to $137.13 a day.
To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an
hour for a 40 hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour. Furthermore: There are actually two messages here. The first is very interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot. A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International Health Organization.
Now on the plus side for a second.....

Check this last set of statistics!!:
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector...prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is; a real-life business--not a government job.
Here are the percentages:
38% T. Roosevelt
40% Taft
52% Wilson
49% Harding
48% Coolidge
42% Hoover
50% F. D. Roosevelt
50% Truman
57% Eisenhower
30% Kennedy
47% Johnson
53% Nixon
42% Ford
32% Carter
56% Reagan
51% GH Bush
39% Clinton
55% GW Bush
8% Obama
This helps explain the incompetence of this administration: ONLY 8% of them have ever worked in private business! That's right! Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their businesses? How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And, when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They've spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs. Or, as "community organizers."
Feel free to share this, because we'll NEVER see these facts in the mainstream media!
