If you read the definition in the story, included in the welfare state is:
Social Security
Military Pensions (so who is on welfare?)
Medicare
Unemployment insurance
Other government payments
The last significant change to those was when the Health Care Reform Act cut Medicare by eliminating the Medicare Advantage program. The last massive increase in Medicare came in 2004 (just in time for elections) when the Medicare Drug benefit program was enacted. I am having a hard time remembering, so could you let me know who was in control of the House, Senate, and White House in 2004? Elephants who live in glass houses.........

Like it or not (military pensions included I guess I didn't see that) 1/3rd of the income in this country comes from taxes. That's kind of scary considering we haven't hit the baby boomer retirement period and unless wages shoot up somehow in the private sector, how in the heck is that going to be paid yoy? I love how the article says 35% of income comes from [government taxes] but hey were so much better off than the UK, they're at 44%. They're at 44% and coming unglued and we're only 9% behind them and jumped 14% in the last decade. Talk about bribing the public with its own money.
Maybe Delta pilots will get a big raise to fund all of this stuff? Stop laughing. It was a dream many of us had until we were told to temper our expectations and be prepared to give up work rules for a small increase in the pay tables.
Answer at your own risk. This will probably all be deleted.
btw, I wish 1 national poll would have the guts to ask the under 40 crowd, do you mind paying social security taxes until you retire even though you'll never get any social security? They only ask, do you want to give this up? How about, do you mind paying and not getting anything?
Oh and by the way, 1000+ waivers for the health care law. A) why is a waiver needed and b) do we get a waiver? We are AFL-CIO are we not?

Here, watch the video and then lets regroup and talk about not throwing stones again...

Now I can go on. Shouldn't on this forum. Don't think it abides by the TOS. But I can go. I can go on politics and defending Cam Newton and Nick Fairley. I have everything bookmarked. Just mention expulsion at Florida or a Thayer Evans article.......

Johnson- Honest question. I follow these forums and the best I can guess is you are a former XE regional captain. Which is fine but as soon as you got hired at NWA which turned into Delta you think that 50 seat carriers are the devil. Aren't 50 seater where you came from?
And while I still haven't shaken that opinion of the place they should thank me, I made them look so good despite the fact they hated me and everyone I worked with.
So yes, they are the devil. And you can say regional's are the devil, but it is of our own making. But still, the devil. And still, section 1 is a devil making machine.

Spending was how the republicans lost congress in 2006. But since you want to talk about living in glass houses, the February federal budget deficit was $223B. For 1 month. The entire 2007 deficit in the out of control bush years was $161B. For 12 months. And that was down from 2006's $248B. Again for 12 months.

Funny, and timely, you should mention living in a glass house. Sebelius just admitted to double counting the cuts that were supposed to come from the health care law. So in the end, it won't save $160ish billion in health care costs that was promised but probably start in a hole of $340B and that's before waivers and whatever else occurs.

Saw a review on the Sebelius testimony. Described it as a classic Washington gaff. A Gaff is when a politician screws up and tells the truth.
