The Food Stamp Program is just a microscopic view of the entire United States Federal Bureaucracy. The fraud, waste and abuse and guidelines contained in the Food Stamp Program exists in every single Nanny State Program and in the Agencies, Bureaus, Commissions and Departments that run them.

Every U.S. agency, bureau, commission and department is a self-perpetuating empire and like all empires, the seek growth in size, power, employees, buildings and of course the associated spending that it requires to service the empire. So, in order for these Bureaucratic Empires to Exist and continue to Expand, they have to Expand it’s Service Base by ever adding Victims To Their Roles to Serve by continually re-defining what Makes Up a Victim.

Or, if the Agency, Bureau, Commission or Department was created to Solve a Specific Social, Environmental, or Other Phantom Problem, they never actively work to Solve or Eliminate a Problem, and in fact, they Find and or Create New Problems to Serve or Solve in order to Justify the Expansion of their Empires which, like all Empires, seek growth in Size and Power.

What we now have is a Federal Bureaucratic Empire and like all Empires that seek Growth in Size, Power and Spending and are forever in Expansionist Phase, they become totally dishonest, subversive and most importantly, they become Despotic. And, like All Empires that Seek Growth in Size and Power, these same Bureaucratic Empires Become More and More Despotic and Fascistic, and will do and or say anything to Protect their Empire Status which gives the Bureaucracy Power.

The Federal System is forever seeking growth in Spending and Power and to do this, they have to Find New Victims to Serve or New Problems to solve, and of course what ever problem they were created to Solve, Improve or Eradicate, never decreases in size and in fact, the Numbers of Problems and Victims will always Increase as the Size and Power of The Empire Bureaucracy Increases.

We have to stop this insane and out of control Federal Bureaucratic System this is an out of control Despotic System this is continually growing.

And, under the Obama Regime, the federal government has expanded by at least 270,000 new Federal Bureaucrats by expanding to some degree every single Federal Agency, Bureau, Commission or Department. For example, under the Obama Nationalized Health Care Bill, over 16,500 new IRS agents were added to the Out of Control Internal Revenue Service which is one of the most dangerous and despotic federal bureaucracies in the entire country, if not the world. And, also, under the Obama Regime, several new agencies and commissions have been Created Out of Thin Air to Solve Other New Problems that the Government bureaucracies and Policies have Caused to begin with, and every one of these New Born Federal Agencies or Commissions will immediately begin to Seek Growth in Size and Power.

This out of control Federal Expansionism of the Fascistic Nanny State Bureaucracies started out with LBJ in the 1960’s with his So-Called War on Poverty, which is where the Food Stamp Program and all the other so-called Entitlement Programs started, that to date, this so-called War on Poverty which was dubbed The Great Society Program, has squandered over 14 trillion dollars is this so-called War On Poverty, which is coincidentally the current National Debt, and today, the numbers of so-called people living in Poverty has more than Quintupled since the mid-1960’s and the inverse of this, is that in the mid-1960’s, over 80 percent of poor children lived with 2 parents of the opposite sex who were married which is the traditional definition of a family. And in this traditional 2-parent family, one or both parents had jobs, and also these families had dignity, self respect, respect for others and respect for their resources. Today, after 50 years of this so-called War On Poverty, not only have the percentage of people described as living in poverty Qunitupled, today, in 2011, less than 20 percent of the so-called poor live in traditional families with 2 married parents of the Opposite Sex with one or both parents working at a job and raising their own children with no assistance from the Nanny State.

You can apply this scenario and correlation to every single federal Agency, Bureau, Commission or Department. Whatever the supposed reason and justification for creating the Agency, Bureau, Commission or Department, you can rest assured that the Problem they were Created to Solve or To Improve Upon will Never Go Away and in Fact, you can bet that the Problems will not only Persist, they will grow Exponentially in Numbers as the Federal Despotic Agency Empire grows Exponentially in their own Self-Perpetuating Growth as they seek Size, Power and Spending and the degree of their Despotism and Fascistic rules and regulations will also grow, especially, if they fear any interference in their operations or if they are threatened with extinction.

Like all Despotic Empires, these Federal Bureaucracies will Fight to the Bitter End to Survive and will never willingly give up their Empire Status which gives them Power, Prestige and Status. That is why you see the Obama Regime using all the federal Bureaucracy to Attack Their Enemies or they are Finding New Problems to Solve or New Victims to Serve or legitimate citizens and businesses to target for attack in order to Protect Their Own Empires and to Expand their own Empires.

It is no accident that the numbers and percentages of folks now on Food Stamps has grown, as the Definitions of Poverty keep Changing in order to Add New Victims to the Roles to coincide with Size, Spending and Expansion of The Food Stamp Industry which is the Federal Model of Fascistic Nanny State Bureaucracy. That is why in Alabama, the state in which I live, there was a public service announcement, ( These Public Service Announcements which inundate the airwaves especially on Radio, is how the Feds Advertise all their Various Agencies, Departments, Bureaus, and Commission and Programs which are constantly Recruiting New Victims to Serve or to Create New Problems to Solve), which said that only 67 percent of Alabamians who qualified for Food Stamps were actually receiving Food Stamps. These Public Service Announcements were a Recrutitment Tool to get the other 33 percent of those qualified for Food Stamps to go out and Sign Up for them. These public service announcements which are paid for by Tax Payers, encouraged family members, friends, churches and social service agencies to Encourage those who Qualified For Food Stamps to Go Out and Sign Up. The Food Stamp Bureaucracy Was actively Recruiting Victims to Serve as they Sought also to Increase Their Budgets, Numbers of Employees on their Pay Rolls and of course to Protect Their Ever Expanding Empires.

This look at the Food Stamp Program is but a Microscopic View of the Entire Federal Bureaucracy and this Correlation in their Growth and How They Make Any Problem that they are designed to Fix, grow worse and fact, the problems are Guaranteed to Grow as the Federal Bureaucratic Agency Seeks It’s Own Growth and Survival and Becomes a Despotic Empire. And, of course along the way, they Create Even More Problems that requires a New Agency or Department to Solve.

There is not a single Problem in the USA today that the Federal Government itself, has not caused and or created.

And, of course, as the Feds Bureaucratic Empire has expanded, due to the Feds Mandates on Local and State Governments, local and state governments have also Expanded their own Bureaucracies with their own Expansionist Ways, but the difference is this: The States have to Balance Budgets and cannot Borrow from Communists in China or Islamists in Saudi Arabia or From the Loan Sharks who run the Federal Reserve. That is why if we are to fight this Federal Fascistic Bureaucracy, we have to first Admit that this is exactly what we have at the Federal Level of Government, and then to begin taking back our Local and State Governments to insure they start their own downsizing along with the downsizing of their spending and power.

We can take the country back one town, county and state at a time, and then replace the U.S. President and Congress and begin the Dismantling of the Federal Fascist Bureaucratic System and the Agencies, Bureaus, Commissions and Departments which are not only bankrupting the nation, these same Federal Bureaucracies are Destroying Our Freedoms, Rights and Liberties with needless and endless regulations that are not trying to Micro-Manage every single aspect of our private and work lives.

This Federal Government is The Cause of Every Single Problem in the USA Today and to Clean this Country Up and Return to a Constitutional Republic, about 80 percent of this Fascistic Federal Bureaucracy Must Be Abolished in their Entirety.
