From the
Boston Herald:
The Tsarnaev family, including the suspected terrorists and their parents, benefited from more than $100,000 in taxpayer-funded assistance — a bonanza ranging from cash and food stamps to Section 8 housing from 2002 to 2012, the Herald has learned.
“The breadth of the benefits the family was receiving was stunning,” said a person with knowledge of documents handed over to a legislative committee today.
Everyone has wondered whether their was another accomplice in the Boston Marathon bombings,there was,the Welfare State.The state of Massachusetts and the Federal government gave aid and comfort to our enemy,while they plotted to attack our country.
From
The Wall Street Journal:
49.1%: Percent of the population that lives in a household where at least one member received some type of government benefit in the first quarter of 2011.
Cutting government spending is no easy task, and it’s made more complicated by recent Census Bureau data showing that nearly half of the people in the U.S. live in a household that receives at least one government benefit, and many likely received more than one.
This is the crux of the problem.Half of this country is living off the other half and borrowing from their children's and children's children's future to pay for it.Until half this nation is willing to vote itself a pay cut,we will be stuck with Big Government.
Benjamin Franklin said it best:
"When the people find that they can vote themselves money,that will herald the end of the republic."

THE REAL PROBLEM WITH OUR GOVERNMENT SYSTEM
(exquisitely said)
The folks who are getting free sh*t,
don’t like the folks who are paying for the free sh*t,
because the folks who are paying for the free sh*t,
can no longer afford to pay for both the free sh*t and their
own sh*t.
And, the folks who are paying for the free sh*t,
want the free sh*t to stop.
And the folks who are getting the free sh*t,
want even MORE free sh*t on top of the free sh*t they’re
already getting!
Fast forward to Now.
The people who are forcing the people who PAY for the
free sh*t, have told the people who are RECEIVING the free sh*t,
That the people who are PAYING for the free sh*t,
are being…. mean.
So the people who are GETTING the free sh*t,
have lately been convinced they need to HATE the people who are PAYING
for the free sh*t, by the people who are forcing the people who are PAYING for the free sh*t and GIVING them the free sh*t in the first place.
That’s the straight sh*t! Thus endith the lesson.
Bingo!
