Increasing sedentarism and obesity in Western nations threaten to collapse welfare states

3/23/2016 - Seems a strange way to approach the topic of obesity. But this is based on an article by the UK online newspaper The Telegraph, and there is more of a welfare state concern there than here in the USA. The welfare system carries the load of medical costs for everyone in England. Each country within...

Children of welfare recipients more likely to become dependent on government handouts

1/10/2016 - One timeless question that social researchers have often asked regarding welfare assistance is whether such assistance is generational. In other words, if parents are dependent on welfare and other taxpayer-supported assistance programs, will their children become dependent as well? According to...

The truth comes out about immigrants: More than 50% are on welfare

9/18/2015 - Talk radio host and constitutional scholar Mark Levin points out in his new book, Plunder and Deceit, that noted libertarian economist Milton Friedman – who favored open-ended immigration – once nevertheless observed: [I]t is one thing to have free immigration to jobs. It is another thing...

Maine governor reinstates law requiring welfare recipients to actually contribute to society

3/1/2015 - America was once a nation made up of self-reliant, hardworking people who would avoid a government handout unless absolutely necessary. In years past, I'd say the majority of people living in the United States would prefer to go to bed hungry rather than accept a welfare check. Americans have always...

Record number of Americans no longer in workforce as welfare state grows and economy shrinks

7/13/2014 - Five years after the "official end" of the Great Recession of 2008-09, there are a number of signs that the U.S. economy has yet to fully recover. Quarterly GDP -- gross domestic product -- growth has been abysmal, often below 2 percent (which is not enough to sustain the expansion of government programs),...

1/5/2014 - Harvard Medical School has been fined just over $24,000 by the Department of Agriculture for violation of animal welfare at its research centers.

Shocking interview: Welfare recipient admits sitting at home, smoking weed, waiting for govt. money

12/6/2013 - Most Americans realize there is waste, fraud and abuse in virtually all government programs. That includes the government's various and sundry welfare programs. But when you actually hear someone who is living large on your dime say without a morsel of guilt or regret that they have no problem doing...

U.S. spending on welfare fast approaching $1 trillion per year

11/4/2013 - As I've written before, the sum of U.S. government "entitlement" programs are not simply expensive, they are unsustainable. And now, there is evidence that the fastest growing entitlements - those that comprise "welfare" - will soon approach a mind-boggling $1 trillion a year. Talk about unsustainable;...

U.S. welfare food shipped offshore in huge barrels to be sold on black market in developing nations

7/31/2013 - Waste, fraud, and abuse are the three things taxpayers hate more than the taxes themselves, because they stand for a blatant misuse of resources provided by coercion: Pay your taxes or else go to jail. So it is beyond maddening when taxpayers learn that government-enforced charity, which is the base...

The $124 billion secret welfare program you've never heard about

5/16/2013 - To be sure, there are many Americans who, through no fault of their own, have become disabled through physical or mental illness over which they had no control. That's what Social Security's disability benefit was established to address - to help Americans with legitimate assistance for a legitimate...

Immigration amnesty bill would instantly put millions on welfare

5/10/2013 - At a time when the U.S. government is spending a trillion dollars more a year than it takes in, it makes no sense at all for our elected leaders to be considering any legislation that adds to the federal deficit, which is already more than 100 percent of our entire gross domestic product. And yet,...

But today, the U.S. Department...

America has devolved into a fast-expanding welfare state, quickly surpassing $1 trillion a year

11/2/2012 - When people say that America "is the land of the free," they aren't kidding. That's because a record number of our citizens are now on some form of government assistance, with Uncle Sam's dwindling number of taxpayers being forced to cough up more than a trillion dollars a year to fund more than 120...
