Common Sense Commentary: The natural, inevitable, unavoidable direction of Marxist, Socialism has always been, and continues to be, down the long dark tube. Every other country which turned to Socialism/ Communism has or now is making this downward passing ... including our own beloved United States Of America. Our only hope is nothing less than the exact same blessed hope Jesus gave us on the cross and at the resurrection. If you don't have that, you have no hope at all.
"That at that time ye were without Christ,
being aliens from the commonwealth of Israel, and strangers from the covenants
of promise, having no hope, and without God in the world...." Eph.2:12.
Last month, the
Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2011, between food stamps,
housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S.
household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support.
What’s the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in
America is just over $50,000, which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it
another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a
40-hour week, while the average job pays $25.00 an
hour.
11 States now have more people on welfare than they do employed!
Among the 11 states is Illinois
Chicago ILL. Politicians:
President: Barack Obama
Senator: Dick Durbin
Congressman: Jesse Jackson Jr.
Governor: Pat Quinn
House leader: Mike Madigan
Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
The entire leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
Chicago (one city) Body Count:
In the last six months, 292
killed (murdered) inChicago
compared to 221 killed in Iraq, and Chicago has
some
of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.
Who is to blame?
Of course, they're all blaming each other.
Can’t blame
Republicans; there aren't any!
Chicago school system rated one of the
worst in the country.
Can’t blame Republicans; there aren't
any!
State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country
Can’t
blame Republicans; there aren't any!
Cook County (Chicago) sales tax
10.25% highest in country.
Can’t blame Republicans; there aren't
any!
George Ryan is no longer governor; he is behind bars in the big house. Of course he was replaced by Rod Blagojevich who is...that's right, also in the big house. And Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., who resigned recently? That’s because he is rapidly moving to…right again, the big house!
Bottom Line
This is the political culture that Obama comes from .... in
Illinois.
And he is going to “fix” Washington and the rest of the country's politics and other problems for
us??? Yeah, right.
.
The Land of
Lincoln, where there are just three likely promotions for Politicians ....... Being dispatched on the street... to the bad place, or to Prison or to the Presidency.
