Joke Of The Day: President’s Day
 |
I was eating lunch with my neighbors and their 8-year-old grandson when his grand mother asked him “What is tomorrow?”
He said “It’s President’s Day” She asked “What does that mean?” …. I was waiting for something profound… He said: “President’s Day is when Obama steps out of the White House and if he sees his shadow, we have 2 more years of unemployment.” |
Welfare Recipients Now Outnumber Full-Time Workers
These figures are from 2011. Does anyone want to guess what the figures are now?
Americans who were recipients of means-tested government benefits in 2011 outnumbered year-round full-time workers, according to data released this month by the Census Bureau.
They also out-numbered the total population of the Philippines.
There were 108,592,000 people in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2011 who were recipients of one or more means-tested government benefit programs, the Census Bureau said in data released this week. Meanwhile, according to the Census Bureau, there were 101,716,000 people who worked full-time year round in 2011. That included both private-sector and government workers.
That means there were about 1.07 people getting some form of means-tested government benefit for every 1 person working full-time year round.
Fiscal Cliff Survival Pack
I wanted to let you all know that earlier today I received my “Fiscal Cliff Survival Pack” from the White House.
It contained:
- A parachute
- An ‘Obama Hope and Change’ bumper sticker
- A ‘Bush’s Fault’ yard sign
- A ‘Blame Boehner’ poster
- A ‘Tax the Rich’ banner
- An application for unemployment
- An application for food stamps
- A prayer rug
- A letter assigning my debt to my grandchildren
- And if that was not enough, there was a coupon for a machine that blows smoke up my ass.
Everything was made in “China” and all directions were in Spanish.
