| Dependency Index Surges 23% Under Obama |
| 2012-02-10 |
 h/t IMAOThe American public's dependence on the federal government shot up 23% in just two years under President Obama, with 67 million now relying on some federal program, according to a newly released study by the Heritage Foundation. The conservative think tank's annual Index of Dependence on Government tracks money spent on housing, health, welfare, education subsidies and other federal programs that were "traditionally provided to needy people by local organizations and families." |

| #3 Do not believe everything you read. These numbers are deceiving and obviously politically biased. As used here, the word "dependency" is racially charged and could contribute to potential hate speech. As additional FEMA Region food bank volunteers step forward, the stigma of food stamps will become history. Sugar cured hams and potato chips are still very popular by the way. In order to avoid long queues and inclement weather, a new scheme utilizing the USPS, goat carts, and reusable TV trays (no tray left behind) is currently in beta testing. |
