The media insists on characterizing statements about dependency on government handouts as controversial but in truth such statements are absolutely correct. It's not that nearly half of Americans are dependent on government; it's actually more than half. If one includes not just people on food stamps and welfare but also seniors on Medicare, Social Security and people employed by the government directly, the number is more like 165 million out of 308 million, which is 53%.
Some argue that Social Security and Medicare benefits are a right because people pay into these programs their whole lives, or that we need a government safety net in place for people who fall on hard times. However, this all becomes a moot point when the funds people depend on become worthless due to government default or rampant inflation.
This is less an issue of dignity or dependence on government, and more about the deceitfulness of government promises.

Why do you think gas prices are so high? Obama said energy will cost us more because of his social justice program for us and he's using the EPA to do it.
Prices inflate because the money has been inflated. The Federal Reserve engineers our economy. The government works for the Bankers. The Bankers are Big Pharma. Big Pharma is Big Oil.
You know? I'm describing the 1%. It's a small cabal of "players" who control the prices of stocks, commodities, and property.
If one can't comprehend what Mr. Paul spells out in this article then there is nothing more that can be done to convince you. None of it will matter when the dollar is worthless. Lets not let that happen. Go look at the debt clock for a few minutes...its a sobering experience.
