Jul 16, 2009 What California`s terrible numbers mean for America It is often said that California is a window onto America's future. Well, with a heavy tax and regulatory burden, a new greenhouse gas emissions law, and rapidly growing welfare rolls, perhaps America should pay close attention to the Golden State's mistakes. This email details the extent of California's burgeoning welfare rolls. California accounts for 12% of the U.S. Population but 32% of the welfare caseload. To demonstrate this enormous burden let's compare these numbers relative to other states. cross the nation: 1) Stack Graphs - This graphical approach allows us to show multiple levels of meaning at once. Each color band represents a specific state. The height of each band on the left represents the state's percentage of the total U.S. population. The height on the right represents the percentage of welfare rolls. These graphs are generated automatically and, as you can see, only California and Texas registered high enough to include the state name on the graphic. Texas has 8% of the U.S. population and is equally burdened by border issues but has only 1/10th of California's welfare rolls. 2) Pie Chart - Everybody loves pie. Unless, of course, your share of the pie represents 32% of America's welfare caseload. You can check our numbers yourself against the federal HHS data ( http://www.census.gov/popest/states/NST-ann-e... ) showing total number of welfare recipients for 2008 and census population data provided by your U.S. government. In 2007, California had 30% of the nation's welfare load. California's share of the nation's welfare recipients has been soaring since Democrat legislators severely relaxed welfare rules and eligibility while hiking benefits around 2001. The result was as predictable for welfare as California's high taxes and heavy regulations have been for jobs and business. 5) Bubble Chart - How many angels can you fit on the head of the pin? You can eyeball the number of states that fit within the California sphere. For over a decade California has refused to enact the welfare reforms set during the historic 1996 welfare-to-work law of the Clinton era - and it shows. (See the link for the rest of the story.) .......... About those friggin' politicians, Californians. They gotta' go, good people!!! Recall a Mayor two. That ought to get their attention So true. But California still has In-N-Out Burgers.

He (Obama) might have been a liar,But how does that warrant one to say "MY PEOPLE ARE IGNORANT" I feel sorry for you, YOu truly dont understand. Understand that you are forgiven and so are the generations of white men who hated for no reason. God loves us all, And again i agree this isnt racism.....Check your hearts people. Checked my heart and my wallet.I don't hate my fellow man(wait i do hate a couple of 'em).I am ,however,largely indifferent.It's not that i cheer failure,Black or White.If you are willing to educate yourself,work hard,and save your money;i don't begrudge you a bigger,better house than mine.BUT DON'T EXPECT ME TO CARRY YOUR HEAVY ASS ACROSS THE FINISH LINE.I don't want to subsidize bad behavior and foolish choices.Depend on me to carry you,and i Will drop you on your head.

The victim mentality is alive and well in our society. It's taught in our schools, it's rehearsed in our media and it's embedded in our minds. There's always a sob story to draw that gilt up to the surface and shut you up if you complain. It's that political correctness that we follow like little converts to head toward that utopia of kindness and comfort in a socialist society where everyone is equal including the low life scum that we're forced to support. Yes three generations of welfare recipients and illegals that stand up and TELL us they are entitled to our resources because they are the 'victims' of our success. And they will not stop until all have fallen and all are equal.

They are the victims of the preceeding 2 generations of their own family role models! I seriously doubt that victim mentality, is genetic. This 'victim', in particular; is taught and practices at home. The victim mentality is also, encouraged by legal whores that advertise on TV 24/7! "Have you been a victim of...?" "Call us immediately and we'll get you ALL the money you deserve." It's the biggest get-rich scheme running, because it's less expensive to settle than, fight.

Tell them what you will or will not accept in any IR legislation. Do it NOW - not once the legislation has been drafted. From the NYT November 13, 2009 The Obama administration will insist on measures to give legal status to an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants as it pushes early next year for legislation to overhaul the immigration system, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said on Friday. ---------- You knew it was coming and you voted for it {Obama} anyway. And yet, here you are, pretending to rail against it.
