I figured this out ten years ago. It was the reason I Houston before it became a sanctuary city.
We are in trouble... The population of this country is just over 300 million.
More than 160 million are retired.
That leaves 140 million to do the work.
There are 85 million in school.
Which leaves 55 million to do the work.
Of this there are 35 million employed by the federal government.
Leaving 20 million to do the work.
2.8 million are in the armed forces preoccupied with killing Osama
Bin-Laden.
Which leaves 17.2 million to do the work.
Take from that total the 15.8 million people who work for state and city
Governments. And that leaves 1.4 million to do the work.
At any given time there are 188,000 people in hospitals.
Leaving 1,212,000 to do the work.
Now, there are 1,211,998 people in prisons.
That leaves just two people to do the work.
Me and Zap.
And there is Zap hiding in his trailer.
Sitting on his ass
Playing on his computer.
That means I would have had alot of work to do so I joined the dole in self defense. Ah, Social Security, I'm getting mine!
