PERHAPS SOMETHING ON WHICH THE DEMOCRATS CAN RUN???
With the midterm elections rapidly approaching and with Obamacare and the economy not really working out too well for them, the Democrats seem to be busily searching for something, anything, on which to run. And they may have finally struck upon something. Because word now comes, just today, that Barry "Almighty" and his fellow Democrats in Congress have achieved something which they can claim is actually a direct result of the policies that they have worked so hard to put into place over the course of the last 5 years.
Because what Barry and his fellow Democrats have now achieved in this country is yet another new record for the number of Americans who are living on disability. The total number of disability beneficiaries in the United States rose from 10,981,423 in March to 10,996,447 in April, or an increase of 15,024, setting yet another new all-time record. That bit of information is according to newly released data from the Social Security Administration. Democrats will be able to make the claim that thanks to their policies even more folks can now stay at home.
And what’s even more amazing, at least to those who are not big supporters of Barry’s or his socialist policies, the number of Americans receiving disability benefits continues to exceed the populations of Greece, Tunisia and Portugal, and is approaching the population of Cuba, which according to the CIA World Factbook is 11,047,251. And even though I kind of meant this as a joke, I’d be willing to bet that nearly every one of those folks currently on disability, or at least those who can vote, will likely vote Democrat in an effort to keep their gravy train going.
Ya know, the sad fact of the matter is that I simply don’t know what to make of my country anymore. I really don’t. It seems like all that a politician has to say these days is, "If you vote for me you’ll never have to work again." And this issue may actually be just what the doctor ordered for the Democrats going into this fall’s elections. I mean, seriously, who’s actually going to vote for those candidates who want to improve the economy so that people can go back to work when people have now become very content not to work. That’s where we’re at now.
