Obama's Layoff Bomb .......

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last Tuesday that employers issued 1,316 "mass layoff actions" (affecting 50 workers or more) in September; more than 122,000 workers were affected overall. USA Today financial reporter Matt Krantz wrote that "(m)uch of the recent layoff activity is connected to what's been the slowest period of earnings growth since the third quarter of 2009." Some necessary restructuring is underway in response to the stagnant European economy. But more and more U.S. businesses are putting the blame -- bravely and squarely -- right where it belongs: on the obstructionist policies and regulatory schemes of the blame-shifter-in-chief.

Artist Jon McNaughton Creates ‘Runaway Slave’ Painting .....

“My position is that the Democratic Party has brought the demise of Black America,” McNaughton said in an interview with CBS Houston. “Currently, 95 percent of all blacks vote Democrat, and yet what do they have to show for it?”

The artist went on to note the economic issues that have hit the African American community, as he claims that 25 percent of this cohort are impoverished, 16 percent are unemployed and 30 percent of black babies are aborted.

Obama’s Welfare State: More Beneficiaries Now Above Poverty Line than Below.......

Despite the curveballs – Benghazi, a hurricane – this election will pivot on the economy, the debt, and the deficit. Looming in the background is the issue of entitlement spending, which must be reformed if entitlements are to continue to exist at all.

The 7-Eleven Presidency.......

"It's math, It's arithmetic - Barack Obama

Yes....yes it is Mr. President....

 In the wake of the Treasury Department’s newly released summary of federal spending for 2012, it’s now possible to detail just how profligate the Obama years have been. Here’s the upshot: Under Obama, for every $7 we’ve had, we’ve spent nearly $11 (or, to be more exact, $10.95). That’s like a family that makes $70,000 a year — and is already knee-deep in debt — blowing nearly $110,000 a year.

Govt spent $1.028 trillion on welfare in FY 2011....

“These astounding figures demonstrate that the United States spends more on federal welfare than any other program in the federal budget,” Sessions wrote The Daily Caller in an email. “It is time to restore — not retreat from — the moral principles of the 1996 welfare reform. Such reforms, combined with measures to promote growth, will help both the recipient and the Treasury.”

Tea Party Drops Hardcore Ad Starring 'Obama Phone' Lady .....

Super PAC Tea Party Victory Fund is using the "Obama Phone" lady in a new Ohio swing-state aimed ad.
The pitch for the video, which asks donors for help in spreading the video in the state, is written by the Fund's chairman Ken Blackwell, Ohio's former secretary of state, via SLATE:

Oh Lord.....get off your butt and VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Romney "Spot-On" in CNN Hostile Interview....

This is an excellent interview - even though the commentator did EVERYTHING he could to trip up Mitt....

Number of able-bodied adults on food stamps doubled after Obama suspended work requirement ......

Amen! Amen! Amen! 
Each week in our little local paper...the police notes have at least one 18-ish year old arrested for whatever. 
In his belongings is HIS or HER EBT ( Welfare ) card......what the heck?????
I hear Atlas Shrugging!

Obama administration officials have insisted that their decision to grant states waivers to redefine work requirements for welfare recipients would not “gut” the landmark 1996 welfare reform law. But a new report from the Congressional Research Service obtained by the Washington Examiner suggests that the administration’s suspension of a separate welfare work requirement has already helped explode the number of able-bodied Americans on food stamps.

Romney's welfare ad is accurate....

It is striking that everyone who actually knows something about the 1996 welfare reform law says that Romney’s ad is accurate.

One of the principal authors of the 1996 welfare reform, Robert Rector of the Heritage Foundation, and Douglas Besharov, who advised Hillary Clinton on the 1996 welfare reform law, say Romney’s ad is accurate.

Ducks and Demos .....

Does a group named "Demos" sound like it's a nonpartisan public-policy organization? Why don't you ask George Soros, the ultra-liberal billionaire and one of its major backers?

Should a group with the daughter of the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate in Massachusetts as its board chair be lodging lawsuits in that state during that person's campaign?

And why would Massachusetts, which has a state Legislature and congressional delegation dominated by Democrats, be the only one that agreed to send out mass mailings to encourage welfare recipients to register to vote, in order to satisfy the suit's demands?

And you wonder why Republican U.S. Senate incumbent Scott Brown is crying foul?

Noonan: Ryan must 'quickly' explain plan to save entitlements....

“The challenge for him and the danger, I think, of his nomination, is that there are a lot of Americans who are in financial hard times, a lot of Americans are living near the edge, a lot of Americans perhaps half are receiving some money from the U.S. government each month. Paul Ryan — when you include Social Security — Paul Ryan has to go to those people, I think, quickly, and convince them, ‘Look, I’m not trying to end the things you need. I am trying to save the things you need.’ The Democrats are going to say that he’s shark. He has to say that he’s the lifeboat.”

This Chart Showing Welfare Dependency Will Ruin Your Day ....

Are you serious? Over 110,000,000* in the U.S. are currently receiving some form of government welfare?

“The federal government administers nearly 80 different overlapping federal means-tested welfare programs. Social Security and Medicare are not part of this category and not included in the figures in this chart,” a statement released on Wednesday by Sen. Sessions’ office reads.

Elizabeth Warren needs to sever her ties to convicted inside traders....

Yesterday we learned, that Elizabeth Warren's daughter is leading a, George Soros funded, organization that successfully sued to force the state to mail voter registration forms to welfare recipients. It is just one of the pieces of help that Elizabeth Warren has received from the convicted inside trader and leading financier.
