Revelation 6:5,6 NCV When the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, "Come!" I looked, and there before me was a black horse, and its rider held a pair of scales in his hand. Then I heard something that sounded like a voice coming from the middle of the four living creatures. The voice said, "A quart of wheat for a day's pay, and three quarts of barley for a day's pay, and do not damage the olive oil and wine!"
A report from the Social Security Administration shows that a record number of Americans are on disability at the end of 2013.
The report says that 10,998,269 Americans collect federal disability benefits with an average payout of $1.146.43 a month. The total average amount per month is also a record.
According to the CIA World Factbook, the number of Americans on disability surpasses the entire population of Greece, Portugal or the Czech Republic. The total is less than 200,000 people away from matching the population of Cuba.
The number of Americans on disability climbs to record levels every month and has shown no signs of slowing down. The last time the number of Americans on disability declined was February 1997, when the number of Americans on government disability was 4,357,251.
