America—supposedly the “bastion of capitalism”—is now the world’s largest welfare basket case, with more than 150 million people claiming benefits, of whom 60 percent are nonwhite, official figures have revealed.
According to data just released by the Census Bureau, 109,631,000 “Americans” received benefits from one or more federally funded “means-tested programs” as of the fourth quarter of 2012.
This amounts to 35.4 percent of all 309,467,000 people living in the United States at that time, the Census Bureau said (of course, the actual figure is much higher when illegals are added in).
However, when those people receiving benefits from non-means-tested federal programs—such as Social Security, Medicare, and unemployment benefits—are added to those taking welfare benefits, it turns out that 150,026,000 people were getting federal benefits of some type at the end of 2012.
The 153,323,000 total benefit-takers at the end of 2012, said the Census Bureau, equaled 49.5 percent of the population. The 150,026,000 taking benefits other than veterans’ benefits equaled about 48.5 percent of the population.
The total estimated (legal) population of the US is some 313 million. Of that, the US officially classifies some 196,817,552 as “non-Hispanic White.” Given the Federal government’s extremely unreliable system of racial classification (which relies on self-assessment and includes all Middle Easterners and North Africans as “white”—among many other discrepancies), it is likely that the actual number of European origin Americans is less than this figure.
However, even using these flawed official statistics, it can be seen that the nonwhite population of the US is now officially some 117,082,448. This translates to 63.7 percent white.
According to the US Department of Health and Human Services’s Office of Family Assistance (OFA), in the financial year ended 2010, black families comprised 31.9 percent of “Temporary Assistance for Needy Families” (TANF) families, white families comprised 31.8 percent and 30.0 percent were Hispanic.
This means that, according to the most recent figures, 61.9 percent of all welfare recipients in America are nonwhite.
According to a report put out by the Heritage Foundation, the “growth of welfare spending is unsustainable and will drive the United States into bankruptcy if allowed to continue unreformed. Welfare spending is projected to cost taxpayers $10.3 trillion over the next 10 years.”
Even more dramatically, Obama’s FY 2011 budget request increased total welfare spending to $953 billion, a 42 percent increase over welfare spending in FY 2008.
Finally, the Heritage Foundation pointed out that any illegal immigrant amnesty will make the problem far worse: “If the U.S. government were to grant amnesty or ‘earned citizenship’ to illegal immigrants, the welfare system would be flooded with new recipients. Of the 11 million–12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., at least half lack a high school degree.”
To put these figures in perspective: there are 242 independent countries in the world. Of that number, 233 have populations less than 150,000,000.
This means that there are more welfare claimants in America (150,026,000) than there are people in most other countries in the world, including the Russian Federation (population 146,068,400).
The total welfare spend now amounts to over 35 percent of America’s GDP. It is simply a matter of economic inevitability that the US welfare system is unsustainable and is destined for collapse—along with that nation’s economy.
Furthermore, it is equally obvious that the Third Worldization of America is directly linked to this impossible financial burden, and that as North America becomes increasingly colonized by non-Europeans, so it will increasingly resemble those peoples’ origin nations.
