Since Barack Obama took office, roughly 12 million additional people have become dependent on food-stamps. And since Democrats took control of Congress in January 2007, almost 20 million people have joined the rolls of food-stamp recipients.
15 out of every 100 people living in the U.S. are receiving food-stamps.This disastrous explosion in the welfare state has come in spite of -- or, more likely, because of -- the Democrats' tidal wave of deficit spending.
In his pursuit of "wealth redistribution" strategies, Barack Obama has rung up more debt in three years than any other President in history. More debt than the world has ever seen.Enough debt to enslave future generations to 70, 80 and 90 percent tax rates.
Maybe that's what meant when he talked about 'change'.
One thing is for certain: these graphs can't keep these trajectories going. The whole system is headed for collapse and -- when it does -- the Democrat welfare state collapses along with it.

"A bureaucrat is the most despicable of men, though he is needed as vultures are needed, but one hardly admires vultures whom bureaucrats so strangely resemble. I have yet to meet a bureaucrat who was not petty, dull, almost witless, crafty or stupid, an oppressor or a thief, a holder of little authority in which he delights, as a boy delights in possessing a vicious dog. Who can trust such creatures?"
--Cicero
