FEEDING AT THE TROUGH

These numbers are prima facie as to why every president we have had in our lifetime before Trump was incapable of running the country successfully. If Trump fails to be President for the next five years, we may never be the same again - at any time in the future - save an armed revolution. Today, even that would be an iffy proposition.
 
Here are some amazing stats: Make sure you read to the bottom. An eye-opener!
 

1. These 10 States now have more people on welfare than they do employ!
 

California
 
New Mexico
 
Mississippi
 
Alabama
 
Illinois
 
Kentucky
 
Ohio
 
New York
 
Maine, and
 
South Carolina 

2. Last month, the Senate Budget Committee reports that in the fiscal year 2012, between food stamps, housing support, childcare, Medicaid, and other benefits, the average U.S. household below the poverty line received $168.00 a day in government support.? What's the problem with that much support? Well, the average household income in America, just over $50,000, averages out to $137.13 a day.
 

Put another way, being on welfare now pays the equivalent of $30.00 an hour for 40 hour week, while the average job pays $24.00 an hour.

 3. Check the last set of statistics!!
The percentage of each past president's cabinet who had worked in the private business sector prior to their appointment to the cabinet. You know what the private business sector is: A real-life business not a government job. 

Here are the percentages:
 

38% T. Roosevelt
 
40% Taft
 
52% Wilson
 
49% Harding
 
48% Coolidge
 
42% Hoover
 
50% F. D. Roosevelt
 
50% Truman
 
57% Eisenhower
 
30% Kennedy
 
47% Johnson
 
53% Nixon
 
42% Ford
 
32% Carter
 
56% Reagan
 
51% GH Bush
 
39% Clinton
 
55% GW Bush
 
8% Obama
 
90% Trump
 

This helps explain the bias, if not the incompetence, of the last administration: ONLY 8% of them have ever worked in private business!
 

That's right - only eight percent. By far, the least among the last 19 presidents! And these people tried to tell our corporations how to run their businesses?

How could Obama be president of any major nation and society - not to mention one with the most successful economic system in world history, stand and talk about business when he's never worked for one? Or about jobs when he has never really had one? And, when it's the same for 92% of his senior staff and closest advisers? They spent most of their time in academia, government, and/or non-profit jobs or as "community organizers."
