Obama claimed that he wanted to “fundamentally transform America” as he got ready to take the White House in 2008. Five years later, we see what he means. We now have more Americans in the depths of poverty, more Americans on welfare, and more Americans taking food stamps than ever. And now we discover that more Americans are on disability payments than the entire population of many foreign countries!
CNSNews reports that a record of nearly 11 million Americans are taking disability payments now in the age of Obama, more than the entire population of Greece. Currently a record 10,982,920 Americans are on disability, the report says. The population of Greece, though, is only 10,772,967 citizens!
Greece became well known during the spring and summer of 2013 as the most fiscally devastated nation in Europe and it looks like Obama is trying to turn the United States into a Greece=like nation, too, but one that would be a far bigger economic disaster to the world.
Worse, the number of Americans on disability have risen in every single measure in every single year since Obama took office.
November was the 202nd straight month that the number of disabled workers in the United States increased. The last time the number decreased was January 1997. That month the number of workers taking disability dropped by 249 people—from 4,385,623 in December 1996 to 4,385,374 in January 1997.
CNSNews also notes that Obama’s destruction of our economy is totaling up numbers higher than the population of other nations, too.
“The record 10,982,920 total disability beneficiaries in the United States in November,” CNSNews says, “also exceeded the total number of people in Portugal (10,799,270), Tunisia (10,835,873) and Burundi (10,888,321).”
We have to admit that Barack Obama has been the most effective ideological president in U.S. history, though. He’s purposefully destroyed the country and done so in a systematic way, for sure, all befitting his hate-America-above-all ideology.
