That number has grown a lot since the Medicare expansion kicked in under Obama care For those states that took it there Medicare roles have went up by something like 33% the senators and congressmen in those states are gonna be hard pressed to pass a bill that takes that away and keep there job. It is very hard to take something away from people after it has been given to them
If you're gonna be stupid you better be tough.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cloward–Piven_strategy Strategy[edit] Cloward and Piven's article is focused on forcing the Democratic Party, which in 1966 controlled the presidency and both houses of the United States Congress, to take federal action to help the poor. They stated that full enrollment of those eligible for welfare "would produce bureaucratic disruption in welfare agencies and fiscal disruption in local and state governments" that would: "...deepen existing divisions among elements in the big-city Democratic coalition: the remaining white middle class, the working-class ethnic groups and the growing minority poor. To avoid a further weakening of that historic coalition, a national Democratic administration would be constrained to advance a federal solution to poverty that would override local welfare failures, local class and racial conflicts and local revenue dilemmas."[3]
They further wrote:
“ The ultimate objective of this strategy—to wipe out poverty by establishing a guaranteed annual income—will be questioned by some. Because the ideal of individual social and economic mobility has deep roots, even activists seem reluctant to call for national programs to eliminate poverty by the outright redistribution of income.[3] ”
Michael Reisch and Janice Andrews wrote that Cloward and Piven "proposed to create a crisis in the current welfare system – by exploiting the gap between welfare law and practice – that would ultimately bring about its collapse and replace it with a system of guaranteed annual income. They hoped to accomplish this end by informing the poor of their rights to welfare assistance, encouraging them to apply for benefits and, in effect, overloading an already overburdened bureaucracy."[4]
“Socialism only works in two places: Heaven where they don't need it and hell where they already have it.” ― Ronald Reagan

Obama's tenure has likely taken this country on the direct path to socialism in several areas and there is not much the rest of us can do about it. Healthcare is ruined. I don't think we can fix it at this point.
Can the Republicans save us by creating Jobs and increasing revenues/tax base in order to kick the can a little further down the road?
I'm not sure they will or even can. The party is just not showing any leadership or strength. I think we're doomed personally.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

50% of stats are made up. NPR is FAKE news. Other than those two facts, I dunno....

I don't think some of you understand just how prevalent the socialist/communist ideology is in this country, especially in the current generation.

the war on poverty would end if the lazy would get a job. Kill welfare, they'd work or starve. Too many can sit back and let the working class pay the bills.

We fall short and are flawed but I truly believe if We keep God's word first and foremost in Our lives we would Be Much better off.
