We are Bankrolling Obama's Statist Agenda

The Grassfire Update:

Dear Patriots,

Here's a mystery for you.


The food-stamp program, one of the government's largest entitlements, was created and designed to expand when the economy sagged and to shrink when the economy recovered.

With President Obama and the media insisting that the "financial crisis is over and the recession ended in 2009,"
why is the already bloated $80-billion-a-year, food-stamp program continuing to swell?

The Wall Street Journal reports that "enrollment in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) ... has soared 70 percent since 2008 to a record 47.8 million as of December 2012."

A quick calculation reveals that one in every 6.5 Americans are currently receiving food stamps. And that number continues surging by more than 13,000 citizens each day.

So why isn't the program shrinking?

There are a number of factors, but WSJ suggests beyond a "sluggish job market and a rising poverty rate," many states are being encouraged to expand the food stamp program knowing that the federal government is picking up the tab.

No, wait! YOU'RE PICKING UP THE TAB!!!

But there's more. Obama has pushed for an easing of requirements so that people with higher incomes and savings can get on board the food stamp train before they become destitute.

+ + From Cradle To Grave

Patriot, when Barack Hussein Obama took office, he was the architect of the federal takeover of our health care system. Through the rapid expansion of food stamps, the President also controls millions of Americans' food consumption.

Now comes word that Democrats are "mulling" yet another handout -- a gas stamp, to help those who can't afford the high cost of fuel.

Do you see the plan here?

Obama is methodically advancing his agenda and sinking the claws of socialism further into our culture. He's chipping away and controlling more aspects of our lives by removing our right to choose. Our Radical-in-Chief is forcing citizens to abide by and follow his statist mechanisms -- and freedom-loving Americans are underwriting his entire effort!

Tell Congress Enough is Enough! NO NEW TAXES!

Dear Patriots,

Less than a week ago, in a deal to avert the so-called "fiscal cliff," President Obama and Congress voted to raise taxes on 77% of Americans. But a $620-billion tax hike isn't enough for Democrats in Congress.

Surprise!

They want more of your money to finance their ridiculous efforts to tax and spend America to prosperity. On CBS' "Face the Nation" yesterday, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told host Bob Schieffer that Democrats weren't done raising taxes in the wake of the "fiscal cliff" deal:

"The president had said originally he wanted $1.6 trillion in revenue," Pelosi explained. "He took it down to $1.2 as a compromise. In this legislation, we had $620 billion, very significant, high-end tax -- changing the high-end tax rate to 39.6 percent. But that is not enough on the revenue side."

Pelosi also said that, if she were president, she would go around Congress and invoke the 14th Amendment to unilaterally raise the debt ceiling. Click on the image below to watch a portion of her CBS interview:

The former House Speaker's comments raise huge red flags for conservatives:

"This is scary, folks," says Eric Odom, managing director of LibertyNEWS, the official news division of Grassfire Nation. "Pelosi makes it clear that she believes Congress should have no authority to stop President Obama from spending. In typical Leftist fashion, Pelosi ignores the fact that cuts to government can have the same outcome as tax increases. Apparently, scaling back a bloated and unnecessary government is not on her agenda. Blank checks are the name of the Democrat game."

A "fiscal cliff" plan that includes $41 in tax hikes for every $1 in spending cuts -- one that, according to the Congressional Budget Office, raises the deficit by $4 trillion over the next ten years -- still doesn't satisfy President Obama and the Spend-ocrats.

Pelosi and her fellow Democrats want you, the American taxpayer, to finance their spending binges by skirting the U.S. Constitution and forcing you to write them one blank check after another -- for whatever they deem essential to enacting their far-Left agenda.
