In Obama Era, Number of Americans on Disability Exceeds Entire Population of Greece

-By Warner Todd Huston

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.

And now we discover that more Americans are on disability payments than the entire population of many foreign countries!

Possibly they may believe, at least subconsciously, that with bad fortune on the horizon, who needs to worry about well-thought out decisions? The skeptic in me sees the black cat as the perfect scapegoat. A matter of fact a person doesn’t have to face the real cause of their misfortune when it can be laid at the furry dark paws of the bad luck giver.
