I had time for only a scan of the article--does it include federal loan mod/refi program beneficiaries? Didn't look like it. Add those in.

Get ready for some Democrat to yell out that we need to reduce Veterans' payouts before we reduce payouts to the Poor.

We're all in this together.

Untrue. The Democrats have been trying to raise minimum wage - the Republicans won't allow it.

That's because they don't want their rich buddies having to pay their workers more. Pretty simple

were eventually going to have homeless people starving in the streets, or were going to go broke trying to prevent it.
neither is good.

I have an idea, let's just let thousands of people cross the border that have no way of sustaining themselves. What could go wrong?

And Paul Ryan is backing away from his "insensitive language" on the subject. I understand that "the 47 percent" and "takers and makers" may not be politically prudent rhetoric, but the problem is real and we can't even have a real fricking discussion about it lest we be called bigots and uncaring.

That's because there are no rich Democrats? If the Democrats were truly concerned why didn't they do this when they controlled both houses of Congress and the WH?

This entire country is on the government teat in one way or another.

While the actual numbers are huge, I doubt they are as presented. Statements make it sound like they are including children.
I would want to see the raw numbers.

(2) Includes anyone residing in a household in which one or more people received benefits from a means-tested program.

why shouldn't they be included?

When the government wants more of something, they subsidize it. Corn, peanuts, poverty....

Do you realize this will have a negative effect? It will lead to higher cost and higher unemployement.

I see you're not a student of Newton's Law.

From an economical perspective, a child is an additional welfare expense. It's fair to include them because they are persons receiving benefits, and because the number is being compared to the total population, including children.

This part of the problem here. Paul Ryan tries to point out the real issue and gets attacked from liberals who are incapable of hearing the truth. We can't solve any problems when the person who is trying to identify the problem is called racist, hateful, heartless, etc..
