While sometimes it doesn’t seem like it, with nearly 100 million of us now on some sort of government assistance, the actual fact of the matter is that today more Americans actually rely on themselves or their families for assistance rather than on the government. Now obviously that's something that I'm sure doesn't sit very well with Barry "Almighty". So to remedy that little situation, federal officials have now undertaken an effort to help 'convince' people into seeing the advantage of applying for federal assistance. Because that's really what makes up the core of Barry’s cockamamie philosophy of “Hope and Change”, get as many people as possible permanently addicted to some form of government assistance.
So how to 'convince' more people into viewing the government as being the place to go for 'help'? Well, apparently our buddy Barry thinks he has a remedy to this problem of not enough folks turning to government. For starters, on the web known as USA.gov, 'Government Made Easy', there was this little announcement, “Given that only 15 percent of you turn to government assistance in tough times, we want to make sure you know about benefits that could help you.” Yes the ”government made easy’ website has created what it refers to as a “help for difficult financial times” page for people to learn more about the programs. In other words, it's where you can go to learn how to best take advantage of your neighbors.
The government bases this sales pitch on results from a poll that asked Americans what helps them the most during tough times. And what must have come as a great disappointment to sleazy Democrats was that most do not automatically turn to government. Here are the results:
Savings 44%
Family 21%
Credit cards/loans 20%
Government assistance 15%
“Government assistance comes in different forms—from unemployment checks and food assistance to credit counseling and medical treatment,” so says the clever little USA.gov announcement. This leg of the financial assistance push has ended. “Although our campaign to highlight Help for Difficult Financial Times has ended, we know that your struggles may continue,” said USA.gov goes on to say. “We will keep updating the tools and information we provide to help you get back on your feet." Well Hell's Bells, that's might white of 'em, don't ya think? What actually being perpetrated here should be pretty obvious. It's that you're not smart enough to take care of yourself, so let the government do it for you.
So let's be honest here, what we're witnessing being done here is nothing more than a very obvious attempt by our very dysfunctional government bureaucracy, at the specific direction of our 'Dear Beloved Leader', to actually 'convince' anyone who will listen, of the advantage to be gained from becoming nothing more than wards of the state. That that rather uniquely American quality of being able to proudly stand on your own two feet is now to be viewed, at least if you listen to Barry, as being something that, while is still rather quaint and all, is simply a trait that has become old fashioned, rather childish and definitely out of date. These days the mooching off of your fellow citizens is something that is now considered to be much more fashionable.
But then I suppose, if anything, this poll does, in a way, offer those of us who are atill proud to be an American, a glimmer of hope, in that there, at least appears to be, still a substantial number of people who would rather not mooch off of their fellow citizens but remain, instead, responsible enough to manage their situation through another means that does not involve government interference. Now if only we could make sure that they would get out and vote for Romney so that we can, hopefully, then get working on doing what's necessary to begin what is sure to be the very long and painful process of getting things turned around in this country. Because four more years of Barry is just unacceptable.
