“So now we learn that one in eight Americans are receiving SNAP benefits. Another nail in our coffin. Those who are working support many others who are not and most could work at something. We are also an aging nation, as many families choose to not have children, or just one or two. So they are supporting with their taxes more and more people who could but do not work. We are in deep trouble and both the Republicans and the Democrats, and way too many Americans have little to no understanding that only capitalism can fix things. We have actually never had pure Capitalism and we are now a welfare nation. Sooner or later, those who work and save will wake up, but will not be able to do anything about it. The only way seems to be we have another revolution like we did back in the late 1700s to divorce ourselves from England.
No nation can last long with an albatross like that around its neck. Saying goodbye to the America that once had such promise.”

I was also ASTONISHED when the 1 in 8 stat came out.
For whatever reason, this is unsustainable.
In bygone days, I knew men who were denied benefits because they were “able bodied”. Now it seems like everyone is “disabled” for reasons OTHER than a missing arm or leg, blind, or some physically flaw.
Not sure how this “epidemic” gets rolled back, but maybe it’s a simple as just just saying: “Sorry we’re broke. (All too true!) And you will have to find help elsewhere.”
Maybe it’s cruel but so it REAL LIFE. In Nature, a disabled animal is just lunch for another.
Maybe this is the “Darwin Award”?
Or the Gooferment policy that will lead to the revitalization of the various charitable organizations like the Elks, Moose, VFW, AL, and the ethnic clubs like Irish, Germans, Italians had when I was young.
