If half the country is getting some kind of check from the government now we have new stats that show that 49 point 1% for almost 50% of the US.

Is getting government assistance.

In some form Eric.

It it's troubling because this is this is the way that Greece went right now.

The question if you read the story a little bit more it says.

A lot of the reason for this is -- are becoming multi generational.

Lot of people are doubling up they're moving back home with their parents grandparents are moving it.

But they say in the Wall Street Journal still even if that wasn't happening because of the recession still people would be getting more and more checks from the governor.

It ends anyway you slice you look at that chart again from the lower left to the upper right church going Bob -- President Obama presides over the -- right side of that chart right there.

Things aren't getting better no matter what you hear on TV no matter how many times the president wants to take a victory lap saying it's better now than it was only took over it's not you look at that -- -- look at.

Food stamps up 47%.

From when he took over.

Eighty billion dollars in food stamps more Americans on food -- more Americans in poverty now than when he took over it he can't.

Take a victory -- for the economy and and look at charts like that.

And Dana when you look at the numbers Social Security is set to -- 2033.

Medicare set to go bankrupt in 20/20 four.

Politicians some of them are screaming about this Paul Ryan as you know and right.

No one seems to an end Americans are getting older and older and they're not producing as many younger people an order to take over the workforce in -- -- provide for that going forward and -- we've seen societies are dealing with this that Japan has won Russia's another.

We can look at the government.

Benefit situation -- Greece and maybe learn some lessons and not equating the United States economy with Greece but there are lessons to be learned but I think a problem that a lot of politicians will have that you could find the most conservative guy on just about every single issue justice take -- in Wyoming.

But he will say they'd better not touch my Social Security -- -- Medicare and it and we can't solve any of these problems if people are willing to come the table and not be.

Scared off by scare tactics -- election -- what about that Bob because you talk about that a lot even though might be the right thing to do it's.

Nuclear for anyone in politics to mention his -- pointed out touching Social Security Social Security George Bush tried.

Remember he tried to make an effort -- it he was demonized -- Democrats with congress -- -- running for office every two years how do you fix the problem.

Yeah that's a that's a problem you know ultimately that brought the guy that's come together and duke in the unit forced there was such a bankrupt America -- point out here.

USA today the headline fewer drawn federal -- -- restrictions economy rises.

Three years at the recession officially ended most of the nation's safety programs our -- into fewer people.

Contrary to what my partner and -- so -- -- -- states are -- -- extended jobless benefits.

It was Lowe's is December 2008 caseloads in well -- fell 5% who's just been on the last few months and let's keep in mind who let -- It is the last few months have just can't -- that it would all up well what other erupting for segment we are coming into the -- -- -- Irish I thank you.

The fact of the matter is he really he really inherited the Great Recession and that's -- the reason is it just floated it a good data -- -- -- -- -- going to be lucky day.

He did better off if he blamed FDR -- bush gonna be more believable.

That's why they're normal Bryant bracket they were unbelievable this is why people should be.

Furious about this okay.

Because in Detroit they're saying now they have budget issues -- -- gonna -- the high street lights grade are good -- the inner city without lights now.

-- NASDAQ California's trying to tax cigarettes that are talking about legalizing drug we have all these aggressive punitive taxes we have you can do they made bad decisions we have to -- We have -- number one you -- need intervention number two the clues are Indiana's New York under Governor Cuomo I believe Wisconsin.

And Ohio -- Ohio.

Laws get them much other -- gonna fall out.

He need a governors are going to be that concerned about his next turn to go in there and say these -- -- but this is the money this is -- do you recall if you want but it would continue to tell you this is the deal -- but his unemployment goes down a Wisconsin as Indiana stands on his hind legs.

And now at New York is finally getting his feet underneath them.

I think people saying -- that shows some -- It only the the answer here is overwhelming percentage of this Social Security Medicare we know that everybody's known that.

And it's so these guys put Democrats -- -- -- showed courage and I give bush credit Gordan try to do it we will not resolved some residents jump.
