You know what this country needs?
More folks depending on the government.
No, really. That’s the conclusion of … wait for it … the government.
“Given that only 15 percent of you turn to government assistance in tough times, we want to make sure you know about benefits that could help you,” USA.gov announced today. The ”government made easy’ website has created a “help for difficult financial times” page for people to learn more about the programs.
Now, just maybe, what they’re saying is true. That is, 15% turn to government during “tough times.” So, what about the other 35%?
They were at the government teat all along.
Now you know why Obama’s approval rating will never get below 40%. You got at least 35% that believe in letting everybody else take care of them. Throw in in the fact that most of the news polls are weighted nearly +10 Democrats, plus the crazy statistic that over 95% of blacks like Obama despite the fact that black unemployment is way up under his term, and there’s no way that his poll numbers will drop very far.
And, if the government can get more sucking on its teat…
Sigh.
150 years ago, Democrats were using guns to keep people in physical chains. Today, they’re handing out your money to get people to voluntarily put on financial chains.
The tactics change. The objective doesn’t.
Jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs, jobs. With 8.? percent of us out of work (or 20 percent depending on whether you add the underemployed and those of us who have used up our unemployment and can’t find a job) we’d love to never have to interact with the government again. Never, ever. Our families have to eat, we have bills to pay and our crime was to work for a company that sent it’s jobs overseas and or decided that youth is better than experience. After more than a year it’s kind of hard to remain optimistic or enthusiastic.
Please explain that picture. What the heck is that?
It looks like some kind of mutant government dog with human-like arms and legs in some kind of exhibit. Not nearly enough teats, though.

It looks like a female of the same species as Bark Obama – The Lying Dog. http://hopenchangecartoons.blogspot.com/ you have to scroll down to find Bark, but it’s worth it.
