Americans More Dependent Than Ever on Independence Day

[SmithSmith]

NEW YORK – Three years ago, when 44.7 million – or one in seven Americans – were on food stamps, former House Speaker New Gingrich dubbed Barack Obama the “Food Stamp President.”

Indeed, the cost of the U.S. Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, has doubled under President Obama’s leadership, indicating poverty has continued to grow despite administration claims the U.S. economy is recovering from the depths of the 2007-2008 recession.

And it will double again with all the illegals, fake refugees, and Muslims coming into our country at a fast pace. It's impossible to put the masses back to work by flooding a jobs market with illegal's. Great success. You won't ever help your own citizens by opening the borders to flood the country. If you wonder, why don't they fix that...well, the answer is quite simple- they don't want to.

I almost see a new holiday eventually being created, WELFARE DAY.

Don't know much at all about Texas Public Policy Foundation, saw this in a tweet from Forbes today. Does a good job of making things look really out of proportion.

SmithSmith, you realize that independence day was for us getting our independence as an entire country? It is a collective holiday. Not a celebration of individuality.

So for your attempt at pointing out, I guess.. irony? to be valid, you would have to focus on external dependence as a country. Areas where we've ceded sovereignty. So like, we are more UN than ever on Independence Day! or Celebrate this Independence day with our Chinese Overlords!
