Of course, most people in this country don't think having 50% of the work force on government welfare is a problem either

That includes those who currently work for government, veterans ect? An amazing stat is our government workforce is now lower than it was when Obama took office. Do you realize how much lower the unemployment rate would be if we had normalized growth in public sector employment like coming out of any prior recession? We'd have monthly growth in employment much closer to the Reagan and Clinton boom years for almost four years now. That is astounding considering the hole we dug during the financial collapse and continued deleveraging by the middle class the entire time.
