Cloward-Piven strategy in action

[JojoBag]

It looks like Barry Soetoro is barreling ahead with his socialist strategies; one being crashing the welfare system. For those who don't know what it is, the Cloward-Piven strategy is:

The Cloward–Piven strategy is a political strategy outlined in 1966 by American sociologists and political activists Richard Cloward and Frances Fox Piven that called for overloading the U.S. public welfare system in order to precipitate a crisis that would lead to a replacement of the welfare system with a national system of "a guaranteed annual income and thus an end to poverty". - Wikipedia

A 2015 study by the University of California at Berkeley found that states and the federal government spent $152.8 billion a year on food stamps, health insurance, and cash assistance programs, more than half of it going to working families who were having trouble making ends meet.

We know that many people receiving welfare have jobs. But what other trends are there among people who get public assistance? To get a better idea of who was actually receiving public assistance in the United States, the U.S. Census Bureau recently took a closer look at participation in six major welfare programs from 2009 to 2012:

• Medicaid

• Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), better known as food stamps

• Housing assistance

• Supplemental Security Income (SSI)

• Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), or cash benefits

• General Assistance

The report doesn’t discuss other kinds of support that people might receive, such as the Earned Income Tax Credit, free school lunches, the WIC program, Head Start, energy assistance programs, and Pell Grants. While it doesn’t capture the full spectrum of welfare in the U.S., the results still provide a clearer picture of who is receiving public assistance.

The percentage of Americans now receiving a federally-funded “means-tested program” now stands at 35.4%. When you add pensions, unemployment, Social Security, and Medicare to the mix, the percentage of Americans relying on government for part or all of their subsistence is 49.5% of the American population.

Barry's “Work to Welfare” is his latest scam on Americans.

Essentially, if you lose a job and get one that pays less, Barry wants to pay part of the difference between the old and new job. He's calling it “wage insurance.” As of 2012, he's increased welfare spending by 32%. He is going full speed ahead in destroying this country.

You know why this gets votes in a democratic society?

 

Because people have been conditioned to think only of incoming $ without a single thought for outgoing $.  People think that if everybody makes $50K/year that poverty will end.  Sure, poverty will end for the day until the price of bread rises to $50 per loaf... which will be inevitable when everybody has $50K to spend.

Or, in other words, the Law of Supply'n'Demand. A law that no congress can repeal, no judge can overturn, no executive can ignore.

Under normal circumstances, a dollar is a certificate attesting to the holder's having produced something of value. When theft (like taxation) is the source of that dollar, the certificate is invalid. So, when a welfare recipient presents it to a grocer (etc.) there was no productivity behind it. So there is nothing for someone else to buy because the wefarite just stole it.

Demand (dollars) goes up, and supply goes down. "The demand curve is the price curve." I.E., the price goes up, the price of everything goes up.
