CLOWARD PIVEN DEMOCRATS

The “Cloward-Piven Strategy” In 2012, Forbes already summarized Obama's "success" of skyrocketing the welfare society: An increase of 18 million people, to 46 million Americans now receiving food stamps; A 122 percent increase in food-stamp spending to an estimated $89 billion this year from $40 billion in 2008; An increase of 3.6 million people receiving Social Security disability payments; A 10 million person increase in the number of individuals receiving welfare, to 107 million, or more than one-third of the U.S. population; A 34 percent, $683 billion reduction in the adjusted gross income of the top 1 percent to $1.3 trillion in 2009 (latest data) from its 2007 peak. And let's not forget new entitlements like Obamacare, which will result in government expansion and expenditures by 2022 to the tune of: Federal expenditures on Obamacare will total $2.3 trillion, a $1.4 trillion increase from the program's initial estimates; The combination of budget cuts and sequestration will reduce defense spending by $1 trillion, while total government spending will increase by $1.1 trillion; Taxes will be increased by $1.8 trillion; Yet, the national debt will increase by another $11 trillion. https://www.forbes.com/sites/charlesk
