Most of these are directly due to:

1. record immigration of 100 million new immigrants most of whom are uneducated unskilled poor illiterate from third world countries. We added 100 million potential job seekers

2. “free trade”. It ain’t free, and it ain’t fair. moving our jobs and factories to Communist china and elsewhere

3. eliminating the protective tariffs that the Founding Fathers created and replacing that lost tariff revenue that we used to get from foreign countries, with increased taxing Americans.

OK Class, lets review ONCE more...the planned decline of America started at the:

1992 UN Rio Earth Summit where Agenda 21/Sustainable Development was introduced.
Signed by G.H.W. Bush Sr.
Maurice Strong, UN high official at Earth Summit is on record stating that “...isen’t it our responsibility to bring about the collapse of the industralized countries?”
(this is a big clue to the intent)
Congress balks at ratification of Agenda21/Sustainable Dev. Treaty. Treaty shelved, never approved by Congress.
Clinton issues Ex. Order 12582 creating the President’s Council to incorporate Agenda 21 principals into federal policy.
EPA directs all natural resource agencies to implement Agenda 21.
1994 NAFTA passed by Congress. Stated Goal in Preamble is to “Promote Sustainable Development (Agenda 21)”
More Ex. Orders issued implementing more Agenda 21 policy through the years including two more in the summer of 2011 creating the Ocean Council and Rural Council.
ICLEI formed at UN World Congress. Mission is to implement Sustainable Development/Agenda 21 at the local level. By 2011 over 600 US local govt.s pay dues to ICLEI and follow their direction in implementing provisions of Agenda 21/Sustainable Development/Koyoto locally.

RECAP; Agenda 21 is a direct economic and cultural attack on America. The Koyoto Agreement is am intergal part of the attack.
After almost 20 years of constant implementation of these economically devastating policies we are reaping the rewards of a collapsed economy.

Maurice Strong’s desire to see America collapse is coming to fruition.

Congress deserves special recognition for their role of keeping their heads in the sand while this has occurred.

Good post. Sobering.

This just doesn’t pass the smell test - 1 out 4 children on Food Stamps. Most children have at least one sibling. So that means that 1 out of 2 families (give or take) are on food stamps. Does anyone believe that, let alone 1 out of 4?

The welfare system HAS to be taken out of the hands of the Feds because they can just print the money and give it out. The states can't print their own money, and that is precisely why the states need to run welfare.

Restore the republic and ALL the problems go away.

I believe it is possible that 1 in 4 children is on food stamps. I know that in my little California town, for the last couple of years, when I go grocery shopping I am literally the ONLY one in line paying with my own, earned, money. Everyone in front of me is using the state food stamp "debit" cards. I am not exaggerating.

It has not always been like this.

The distribution of children among income quintiles is not uniform.

Welfare queens have more children than doctors' wives, perhaps?

Cheers!

but they weren’t talking about any specific income group - 1 out of 4 children in America is on Food Stamps according to the report.

I hope this doesn't come across as offensive, but I think I failed to communicate my point effectively.

If you're interested, I can try to spell it out in detail in a private FReepmail, so as not to bore everyone to tears; but if not, I can just let it drop altogether.

Cheers!
