In Washington, DC, Welfare Is Already on Par With Europe
By Jordan Candler · Aug. 25, 2015
Normally when it comes to welfare in America the $1 trillion question is
when exactly we will devolve into European-level dependency. When it comes
to our nation’s capital, however, it seems we’re already there — and then
some. In fact, if you live in DC, Denmark is the only country that offers
greater benefits on the taxpayer dole, according to a new Cato Institute
study. Michael D. Tanner and Charles Hughes write, “In D.C., a mother with
two children under the age of five who participates in six major welfare
programs — Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental
Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or food stamps), housing assistance,
home energy assistance, Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women,
Infants, and Children (WIC), and free commodities — would receive a
benefits package worth $34,963 per year. Using a similar measure, Cato
found that benefits in Europe ranged from $38,588 per year in Denmark to
just $1,112 in Romania. In fact, the District’s welfare system can be more
generous than every country included except Denmark. The benefits package
is higher than in well-known welfare states as France ($17,324), Germany
($23,257) and even Sweden ($22,111).” Keep in mind the study excludes
Medicaid expenses that would add another $8,140. Tanner and Hughes are also
careful to note, “People in these programs are not lazy, but they are also
not stupid. Like everyone else, they respond to incentives. If welfare pays
better than work, people on welfare will be less likely to work.” Perhaps a
good place to begin reform is on Capitol Hill, where lawmakers' paychecks
should be rescinded until they actually get any work done. :-)

IF THIS IS TRUE -
Wedding ring is in for repair again this year...
Just passing this on with no comment, interesting observation
though....
The Wedding ring is in for repair again this year. Since when does a plain
wedding band need repairs, along with your watch, for a whole month? In
a press conference last week Obama was not wearing his wedding ring nor
was he wearing his watch. When noticed, his staff said his ring was out
for repairs. No reason was given for the missing watch.
So it's just a coincidence that Muslims are forbidden from wearing
jewelry during the month of Ramadan... Can't possibly
be that, because although he hasn't gone to a Christian church service
since entering the White House, we know he's a committed Christian "cause
he said so during his campaign" This is the same
president that spent the Christmas holidays in Hawaii to avoid religious
obligations as president at the White House. His children do not receive
Christmas presents. Let's just face the facts and quit trying to distort
the truth, we have a Muslim for president in the White House, and he has
no knowledge of American history. Please pass this
on to believers of what is happening to our Great Nation and to those who
are still in denial. I love this country; it's the
current government leadership I worry about! DON'T
KEEP THIS - SEND IT OUT TO YOUR LIST.
What have we as a country become?
How far have we fallen

Very interesting.
Subject: Global warming - Takes an Australian tells it like it is!!! #1
Our president is trying to divert attention from his treaty with Iran to saying Carbon is our # l Problem, he is a congenital liar of the nth degree, pushing energy taxes called cap and trade.I have always been skeptical of the “Global Warming” science. There are way too many forces in nature that humans simply cannot match, let alone change!Check this out.Global warming – Takes an Australian tells it like it is!!!Ian Rutherford Plimer is an Australian geologist, professor emeritus of earth sciences at the University of Melbourne, Professor of Mining Geology at the University of Adelaide, and the Director of Multiple Mineral Exploration and Mining Companies. He has published 130 scientific papers, six books and edited the Encyclopedia of Geology.
PLIMER: "Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland . Since its first spewing ofvolcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in thepast five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress - it’s that vitalchemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen forus humans and all animal life.I know....it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you haveaccomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buyingfabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids "The Green Revolution"science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares oftoilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationingat home instead of abroad!!!
Nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with$10.00 light bulbs.....well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes injust four days. The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes,FOUR DAYS - by that volcano in Iceland has totally erased every single effort you have madeto reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planetspewing out this crud at any one time - EVERY DAY.I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when thevolcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhousegases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year - think about it. Of course, I shouldn'tspoil this 'touchy-feely tree-hugging' moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmicactivity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keepshappening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact of the matter isthat the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negateyour efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happensevery year.Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you, onthe basis of the bogus 'human-caused' climate-change scenario. Hey, isn’t it interestinghow they don’t mention 'Global Warming' anymore, but just 'Climate Change' - you know why?It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and theseglobal warming ‘BS’ artists got caught with their pants down. And, just keep in mind thatyou might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme - that whopping new tax - imposedon you, that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer.It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure!!!But, hey, relax...... and have a nice day!"

John Wayne. Declared "4F medically unfit" due to pre-existing injuries, he nonetheless attempted to volunteer three times (Army, Navy and Film Corps.) so he gets honorable mention.
And of course we have Audie Murphy, America 's most-decorated soldier, who became a Hollywood star as a result of his US Army service that included his being awarded the Medal of Honor.
Can someone tell how many of today's Hollywood elite, sports celebs and politicians put their careers on hold to enlist for service in Iraq or Afghanistan ?
The only one who even comes close was Pat Tillman, who turned down a contract offer of $3.6 million over three years from the Arizona Cardinals to enlist in the US Army after September, 11, 2001 and serve as a Ranger in Afghanistan , where he died in 2004.But rather than being lauded for his choice and his decision to put his country before his career, he was mocked and derided by many of his peers.
Ladies and Gentlemen, I submit to you that America today is not the country it was seventy years ago. And I, for one, am saddened.My generation grew up watching, being entertained by and laughing with so many of these fine people, never really knowing what they contributed to the war effort. Like millions of Americans during WWII, there was a job that needed doing, they didn't question, they went and did it; those that came home returned to their now new normal life and carried on, very few ever saying what they did or saw.They took it as their "responsibility," their "duty" to Country, to protect and preserve our freedoms and way of life, not just for themselves but for all future generations to come.As a member of that "First" generation, I'm forever humbly in their debt.Don't forget that even Queen Elizabeth of England, I believe she was princess at the time, volunteered during WWII.
