PERHAPS SOME MORE FRESHLY MINTED, 47 PERCENTERS FOR OBAMA?

Well, well, well what might we have here? What we now have coming to us from Barry's very own Social Security Administration is some new, and very interesting, data that reveals that we might have here is a growing crop of 8,786,049 likely Barry voters, all of which were bought and are being paid for with your tax dollars. These potential Barry voters consist of American 'workers' who, after the unemployment 'benefits' ran out, are now collecting federal disability insurance payments beginning in September. That sets yet another record for the number of Americans on 'disability.' Barry has made it considerably easier for those with the desire to be a sponge.


The 8,786,049 workers taking federal disability in September is a net increase of 18,108 from the 8,767,941 workers who took federal disability in August. Over the past 45 years, the number of American workers taking federal disability payments has increased four-fold relative to the number actually working. In August 1967, 74,767,000 Americans were working, at least according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics and 1,152,861 were taking federal disability insurance, according to the Social Security Administration. That means that at that time there were about 65 Americans working for each worker collecting disability.


In August 2012, 142,101,000 Americans were working and 8,767,941 were on disability--meaning there were only 16.2 people working for each person collecting disability. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), a record 88,921,000 Americans were “not in the labor force” in August. These were Americans who were at least 16 years old, who were not in the military or in an institution such as a prison or a nursing home, and who did not have a job and had not actively sought one in the last four weeks. Also in August, according to the BLS, only 63.5 percent of the civilian population participated in the labor force. That was the lowest level of labor force participation since the day of Jimmy Carter.
