As promised, I am back with more. I thought this might become a weekly blog…but I cant help myself. Too much shit rattling around in this head of mine. I think I would be better off moving to the mountains and secluding myself from society, but I guess the attention hog inside of me keeps me in the main stream. Let’s see how long that lasts, I give it 10 more year before I become a hermit!
I think Facebook is the primary cause for all of my hate and discontent. I should probably just cancel my account and walk away from that nasty cesspool of a web site. But it is the only way I get to see the people I care about in my life and what they are doing. So of course I stick with it. Back on topic please!!
I found this nifty little site while surfing the internet one day. http://www.usdebtclock.org/. Wow, there is a lot of information on there. If you are a fan of horror, check this web site out. It is probably one of the scariest web sites I have ever seen. It is a running clock of all of the debt and income in the US. It also includes some other scary numbers which led me to crawl deeper into the rabbit hole.
Lets start with this number 18,319,809,000,000 that’s 18.3 Trillion. Big number right? Now put a Dollar sign in front of that number. Unimaginable right? That is quite a sum of money, unfortunately for us that is the DEBT of the United States. I actually counted the number of seconds it took the debt to climb compared to how much money I make in an entire year. 7 SECONDS, yep only 7 seconds for the United States debt to climb more than I make in 365 days. Horrifying!!
That was not the only number that really jumped off the page at me. Down at the bottom right there are some numbers that are just as terrifying. Total US population receiving benefits. Now they are only looking at Medicare, Medicaid, and Food stamps. That number is an astounding 159.8 MILLION people. that is approximately 49% of the US population. 37% of the Federal Budget in 2015 went to Health Care and Welfare. While only 4% went to Education. WTF!!!!
So we have a 5+% unemployment rate in the US. People are working minimum wage jobs because they do not have a good enough education to get a real job. So we give them assistance from our tax dollars instead of…Oh I don’t know…EDUCATING THEM!!! Now you cant blame the people. People are inherently LAZY! In most cases lazy and stupid. But that is what we have created as a society. The US Government is Dr. Frankenstein and we as voters are the lightning bolt, together we have created a monster.
I saw a cute little meme on Facebook the other day. Makes complete sense, but most people laugh it off as a joke. It goes like this…The food stamp program is administered by the US Department of Agriculture. They proudly report that they have distributed free meals and food stamps to over 46 million people on an Annual Basis. Meanwhile, the National Park service run by the US Department of Interior asks us “Please DO NOT FEED THE ANIMALS.” Their stated reason being that “The animals will grow dependent on the handouts and will never learn to fend for themselves.”
Hello…Hello…Bueller…HELLO!! The same thing is happening with Lazy Stupid HUMANS. Why should they work when they can get shit for free! It starts at a young age receiving handouts, you covet what you see, you learn from your parents. You see your deadbeat dad sitting at home everyday drinking his Budwiser and knocking up his old lady in hopes to spit out yet another welfare baby to raise his welfare check and food stamp allotment. The numbers don’t lie. Since the year 2000 the food stamp and welfare recipients have more than doubled. There is no sign of stopping. A new report shows that people in Seattle that make minimum wage (which has recently been increased) are requesting less hours so they can continue to receive food stamps!!
People continue to praise our government…look at what they have done. Our government is being praised for getting 18 million more Americans on Health Insurance…Yet over 40 million and counting still have none. And, look what that has done to our already overly taxed and expensive health care system! In the last 10 years the US debt has more than doubled, Education in the US is the lowest it has ever been. People are actually getting STUPIDER! There are more people than ever on Government Welfare. The cost of living is skyrocketing yet the Average American income has not changed.
Our Government is BROKEN. Our country is BROKE$$$. We have Millennials voting Liberal, because they have been pushed through the Liberal learning institution. Why, because if you want to make more than the median income you have to go to college right? Corporations these days require you to have a degree to get a good job. That degree costs so much money it takes you 10 years to pay it back. That degree is a useless piece of paper, it says “You spent a lot of money and time to learn nothing worthwhile. Everything you needed to know in life you could not have learned in grade school, but now you have a piece of paper to prove you are educated.” BULLSHIT!! Literally everything you need to know to be successful in life, can be learned in everyday life. But I will cover our horrible Education System in another topic!
I have not even touched on the topic of corporate welfare, that is another story altogether! I don’t even know if this blog allows enough characters to get into that shit storm. But for the time being, I will continue to avoid grocery shopping on the 1st of the month, try not to cry when I see welfare recipients driving nicer cars than me, getting their hair and nails done, talking on their iPhone’s and buying Papa Murphy’s pizza and Soda Pop with their EBT cards while hauling around 8 dirty little kids, and continue to tell myself it’s ok…your Government is looking out for you!!
