45 million people in 2011 received food stamps - where is America heading. . .

[mrcritic]

NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- Nearly 15% of the U.S. population relied on food stamps in May, according to the United States Department of Agriculture.
The number of Americans using the government's Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) -- more commonly referred to as food stamps -- shot to an all-time high of 45.8 million in May, the USDA reported. That's up 12% from a year ago, and 34% higher than two years ago.

The average food stamp benefit was $133.80 per person and $283.65 per household in May.
The highest concentration of food stamp users were in California, Florida, New York and Texas -- where more than 3 million residents in each state received food stamps in May.

This is what you get out of a SOCIALIST WELFARE STATE.

1st the Govt takes away HONEST MONEY from you (debt monetization)
Then it takes away your right to protest (Wallstreet protests & bank bailouts)
Then it takes away your livelihood (joblosses due to currency debasement)
Then it takes your honor (welfare)
Then you arent needed (join the army.. Go die in some other country!)

So when are you joining army?

My cousin's son actually got out of army as he didn't like it there (sakht duty) and currently working in Utah.

On a serious note, this is what we always talk about so it is going to happen. Though many Russians still recall communist party days and say that it was a lot better than today.

I think F A Hayek views on Socialism and role of Govt were based on these too.

Once you start to suck on the govt teet.. the citizens loose their spirit to remain independent and free.

There is massive suffering in America but the mainstream media chooses to remain silent for obvious reasons. http://endoftheamericandream.com/ is a wonderful site exposing how it's falling under it's own sin.

No doubt there end will be similar to that of the USSR.
