Feds: Too few Americans ‘turn to government for assistance’ August 27, 2012 | 2:18 pm
More Americans rely on their families for assistance than the government, so federal officials have undertaken an effort to help people to apply for federal assistance. “Given that only 15 percent of you turn to government assistance in tough times, we want to make sure you know about benefits that could help you,” USA.gov announced today. The ”government made easy’ website has created a “help for difficult financial times” page for people to learn more about the programs. The government got that statistic from a poll asking Americans what helps them the most during tough times.
Here are the results: Savings 44% Family 21% Credit cards/loans 20% Government assistance 15%
“Government assistance comes in different forms—from unemployment checks and food assistance to credit counseling and medical treatment,” USA.gov reminded readers. This leg of the financial assistance push has ended. “Although our campaign to highlight Help for Difficult Financial Times has ended, we know that your struggles may continue,” said USA.gov today. “We will keep updating the tools and information we provide to help you get back on your feet.”
"We're from the government and we're here to help..."
As compared to the Republican Congress:
"We're from the Government and we're here to make sure Obama Fails!" (even if it means America fails)

I think they're more out to help to make sure that America, or what's left of it, has the possibility of returning to it's prosperous ways that it followed many many years ago.

Ah yes... the prosperous Clinton Years, when America had jobs, industry was booming, the era of balanced budgets, and even a surplus. Then came the Bush Economic Meltdown... and all that ended. Hopefully Bill Clinton will speak of those years at the Democrat Convention and help President Obama revive this economy the way Bill did after Reagan/Bush.

Clinton 'raised' the ME generation.....because it was prosperously a LIE....ESPECIALLY WHEN APPLYING FOR MORTGAGES....it was a bold faced lie with little truth and whole lotta FLUFF AND STUFF along with cigars and saxophones.....
He revived some spirit but certainly not any more truth than any of the others....they rub elbows....and how they talk will hopefully keep their $$ in their pockets regardless of party.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.
STOP BEING GOOD DEMOCRATS---STOP BEING GOOD REPUBLICANS--START BEING GOOD AMERICANS
Reps or dems..............don't matter...............they are ALL still the government who have exhaulted themselves into GOV ALMIGHTY!!
They attempted and have almost succeeded into turning everyone into mindless, brainless victims!! PATHETIC!!!!
