Following The Patriot Forum Lead; NY Times to Tally Welfare Casualty Figures Daily

By The Assorted Press

May 8, 2004 (TAP) – The New York Times said today that it would begin announcing daily casualty tallies related to America's various tax-funded government-run operations.

The idea originally came from the well-known and politically influential Internet “nonpartisan” Patriot Political Forum that once ran a daily count of American casualties in Iraq. Currently the casualty count seems to be missing from the Patriot Forum but the NY York Times will still run with the idea.

The following data will be included in the Times new 'Casualties of the Great Society':

 -- murders and other violent acts in public housing, or by recipients of public assistance
-- public school dropouts
-- condoms distributed to teens through schools and other agencies
-- abortions by teens and women on public assistance
-- low-birth weight and addicted babies born to welfare mothers
-- high school dropouts, and illiterate high school graduates imprisoned
-- welfare babies who eventually dropout of high school and become welfare mothers by illiterate high school dropouts who are wanted by the police for drug crimes

 Learning of the Times new feature, liberal-Democrat presidential candidate, John Kerry said that Democrats will not be deterred by "the constant drip, drip, drip of these statistics."

"Despite mounting casualties," he said, "the federal government will continue to fund public education, welfare, subsidized housing and various other entitlement programs for the good of the country and for the welfare votes the Democratic Party desperately needs."
