These 11 States now have More People on Welfare than they do Employed!
California, New Mexico, Illinois, kentucky, Ohio, New York, Maine, Mississippi, Alabama and South Carolina
 
Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, child care, Medicaid and other benefits, the average U.S. Household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support. What's the problem with that much support? Well, the median household income in America is just over $50,000,which averages out to $137.13 a day. To put it another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for a 40-hour week, while the average job pays $20.00 an hour.
                Furthermore:
There are actually two messages here.  The first is very interesting, but the second is absolutely astounding - and explains a lot.
A recent "Investor's Business Daily" article provided very interesting statistics from a survey by the United Nations International
Health Organization.

            Check this last set of statistics!!
Percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet.
You know what the private business sector is; a real-life business, not a government job.  Here are the percentages.
            T. Roosevelt.................... 38%
            Taft................................ 40%
             Wilson ........................... 52%
            Harding........................... 49%
            Coolidge......................... 48%
            Hoover............................ 42%
            F. Roosevelt..................... 50%
            Truman........................... 50%
            Eisenhower................ .... 57%
            Kennedy......................... 30%
            Johnson.......................... 47%
            Nixon.............................. 53%
            Ford................................ 42%
            Carter............................. 32%
            Reagan............................ 56%
            GH Bush.......................... 51%
             Clinton .......................... 39%
            GW Bush........................ 55%
            Obama............................. 8%
            This helps to explain the incompetence of this administration.  Only 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
            That's right!  Only eight percent---the least, by far, of the last 19 presidents! 
   And these people are trying to tell our big corporations how to run their business?
            How can the president of a major nation and society, the one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one?  Or about jobs when he has never really had one?  And when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers?  They've spent most of their time in academia, government and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."  They should have been in an employment line.
 
           Pass this on because we'll NEVER see these facts in the main stream media
