So? I'm sure we have several different categories of people that exceed the
population of any number of countries.

Actually the current disability rate was forecasted since baby boomers
are getting older and disabled. They paid into social security
disability all their working life and if they are disabled they
deserve the benefits that they earned by working all those years.

The relevant part is, "The total number of people in the United States
now receiving federal disability benefits hit a record 10,962,532
million in April."

The previous post showed how labor force participation has plummeted
under Obama.

Sure are. There are 242 countries in the world:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_population

There are 47.8 million Americans on food stamps.
http://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2013/03/29/food-m29.html

Only 26 of the 242 countries in the world have a population that
exceeds our food stamp population.

14.7% of us don't have a high school diploma:
http://www.statisticbrain.com/high-school-dropout-statistics/

That means only 28 countries in the world have a population that
exceeds our high school drop out population.

20% of American children live in poverty.

Remember... The dumb and the poor vote Democrat.

Actually, I'd like to see your citation for that.

Americans are working less hazardous jobs than they were 30 years ago
and you couldn't get disability for "depression", "fibromyalgia" and
"irritable bowel syndrome".

And if we were China, there would be even fewer countries that exceeded
<insert your choice of group>.

The numbers will look a lot different if you use percentages and not counts.

Id like to see the data on how many people get disability for
fibromyaligia.

http://www.nber.org/chapters/c9870.pdf
http://people.ucsc.edu/~lkletzer/Lee_Skinner_Aging_jep.pdf

and other items came up with a google search for:
"disabilty forecast baby boomers".

You are confusing workmens comp with disability. Disability is for any
disease that a person obtains during their working life where they can
no longer work. Workmens comp is for injuries on the job. How
harzadous a job is has nothing to do with being disabled.

There is some data in there that forecasted a marked increase in
disability in the last couple years?

If your injury is expected to keep you out of work a year or more you
can apply for disability.

There are no food stamps in China so all countries exceed their food
stamp population.

US 15%
China 0%

The US is, after all, the world's third most populous country.

Only one country has more Jews than does the US, and Chicago has more
Poles than any city outside of Warsaw.

What are food subsidies but food stamps under a different name?

Obviiously, the Chinese percentages are some number greater than zero.

So why do you suppose that is? Political or demographic. The experts say the
latter:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK11437/

Face it, Al, you are once again trying to politicize something that has nothing
to do with politics. Baby Boomers are simply getting older. Because of the large
number of them, there will be more disability cases, period. At some point, once
most retire, this trend will (magically) reverse. Must suck to be you.

China uses food subsidies and price supports. In America we have milk
subsidies and if we didn't we would be paying $6+ for a gallon of
milk.
