We're All Socialists Now

I don't know what else I can call it but Socialism.

Paul Kengor writes in the American Spectator, "The numbers show a massive increase in government jobs created over the last five months -- 621,000, to be exact, dwarfing private-sector job growth. Those new government jobs account for a staggering 73% of overall job growth. In all, it means that 20.6 million citizens now work for government, out of 143 million people employed in America -- or one in seven Americans."

Meanwhile, at the Daily Caller, Caroline May reports, "The most recent data on SNAP participation were released Friday, and showed that 47,710,324 people were enrolled in the program in September, an increase of 607,559 from the 47,102,765 enrolled in August.

"The new numbers mean that an estimated one in 6.5 people in America were on food stamps in September."

20.6M Americans work for the government, 47.7M are on food stamps; 68.3M people.

It seems that when Democrats say, "grow the economy," what they mean is growing the size of government and the number of people dependent upon it.
