Jerry,

You state that 169 Million people are receiving government benefits. Please tell me were you got this data.

The closest stat I could find shows 155 million receiving subsidized health insurance.

Almost a century ago, some thought that the “government in this country has become dangerously complicated and top-heavy….”

Matthew,

I am confused with what that article is saying. That article states that approximately 155 million Americans who get health insurance through their employers are being subsidized the government. Nonsense. Every full-time job that I had I got my health insurance from my employer. My employer paid for most of it while I paid the rest, not the government. This article must be saying that because employers can write off the expense of paying for heath insurance for their employees then they are really getting money from the government.

Jerry,

Thanks for the info about the 169 Million people who are receiving government benefits (Medicaid and Medicare).

J.Miller…..that total of 169 million might include food stamps also….

Subsidies come in many forms, JMiller.

Jerry,

You are probably correct that the 169 million includes those also getting food stamps. However many of those people who get government benefits get more than one kind. For example 2 in 5 children get Medicaid. Many of them also get food stamps. They are being double counted. That 169 million number is wrong to add up the number of people getting each benefit. They are counting some people multiple times.

That’s a baseless assumption, JMiller.

J.Miller…….I bet the number does not include the students living in momma’s basement..

What baseless assumption are you referring to Matthew? That some people get more then one type of government benefit? LOL!!! Hey, just add the number of Medicare, Medicaid and food stamp recipients and you get the debt clock’s total receiving benefits. And yes many children on food stamps are also covered under a government sponsored health program. So that 159 million number counts people more than once.

J. Miller……..kind of like the job numbers….. 🙂

Matthew says, “Subsidies come in many forms, JMiller.”

No shit.

JMiller says: “Every full-time job that I had I got my health insurance from my employer. My employer paid for most of it while I paid the rest, not the government.”

So what?

Let’s face it…….Crimex is nothing but paper…..according to Harry O…and others…
