Is President Obama Creating A Nation Of Dependents?
If the Republican primaries are any indication, one big debate in the upcoming election will be whether President Obama is pushing the country toward a European-style welfare culture.
While it's true that the country has been headed in this direction for many years — with the explosion in entitlements since the 1960s and the aging of the population — Obama has, in fact, greatly accelerated the trend. Examples: Direct payments. People getting benefits. Food stamps. Disability. Health care. Corporate welfare.

Obama: Bush Is Food Stamp President, Not Me
"First of all, I don't put people on food stamps. People become eligible for food stamps. Second of all, the initial expansion of food-stamp eligibility happened under my Republican predecessor, not under me. Number three, when you have a disastrous economic crash that results in 8 million people losing their jobs, more people are going to need more support from government."

Parent of Obama-Backed Green Company Files for Bankruptcy
The parent company of an electric car battery maker that received more than $100 million in government funding from the Obama administration has filed for bankruptcy protection, the company announced Thursday.
Alex Sorokin, the CEO for lithium-ion battery manufacturer Ener1, said the company suffered when demand for the batteries dropped as fewer Americans than expected opted for electric cars.

If you get so much heat from people defending Ron Paul why do people say he is unelectable?

The disturbing reality, Carrie, is that in a one person one vote democracy, where votes are bought by funding public spending by debt and a critical mass of voters live on benefits....you have a recipe for inevitable catastrophe.
I hope you do not follow us in Europe, here n Britain there are so many people WITH VOTES who live on benefits, its impossible for a political party to stand up for sound finance
the borrower becomes the lender's slave. It can't go on, but how can we stop it?

the two reasons i do not lik the electric car is one it looks like it belongs in a matchbox case.lol. the other is everytime you have to recharge the car i think that would drive your electric bill threw the roof.

Are you kidding--the political process is a totally FAKE distraction. Sadly we are post democratic! Elites, international banksters, their massive foundations and NGOs make and enforce policy world wide through the UN via international agreements that are not debated or voted on by anyone. GATT, Agenda 21, UNESCO, the WTO--these UN bodies make binding rules for the world! Better learn about the Fabian society and the CFR.

@MrWhitey101 I know, lol. I was just getting so many at that time I was getting a little irked, to say the least. It has gotten much better, thanks for speaking to the ones who were outta line. I get when people are upset they say things they don't mean, but it was getting outta control!

@MrWhitey101 Honestly, I do not understand why anyone needs a free cell phone. I can handle the government paying a home phone line that works to call 911, but not cell phones. I don't understand why everyone needs to be talking in public. My husband does have one, but it's a business phone so when he's on the job he can use it for work. I guess I'm old fashioned.

@Carrie3570 I'm glad, as a Ron Paul supporter, that some of the other Ron Paul supporters toned down their rhetoric. I was embarrassed at the way they were talking to you on some of your videos last month, & made that clear to them in some direct e-mails and some comment responses. Most of the ones I spoke to were college aged kids who think that they know everything, and I was more than a little ticked off at how disrespectful and juvenile they were. We're all not rude imbeciles, I promise! lol

By 2020 60 to 70 % of people will be on federal health care plans the rest will be on private health care plans. You do not hear any business's complaining about it, walmart, target, GE, ford, GM, chrysler, and all other's are for Obama care. So they can drop their employee health care plan's because they can no longer afford to pay the premium's, its too expensive. people will have to buy government health on there own. Food stamps go right back into the economy when spent, that's a good thing!
