That’s rich: Poverty level under Obama breaks 50-year record

Fifty years after President Johnson started a $20 trillion taxpayer-funded war on poverty, the overall percentage of impoverished people in the U.S. has declined only slightly and the poor have lost ground under President Obama.

[snip] Although the president often rails against income inequality in America, his policies have had little impact overall on poverty. A record 47 million Americans receive food stamps, about 13 million more than when he took office.

Obama sees and treats the nation as minorities; does not separate the success of many from the small % of the impoverished. This way he can continue to make America a welfare nation/Socialist nation controlling most aspects of our lives...he wants to raise the minimum wage which will harm the owners of small business's who make the jobs and pay the state and federal taxes...the Marxist Barry H. Obama, a very wealthy man, is stupid?

[sickoflibs]

Raising the Federal minimum wage and extending unemployment comp benefits forever will fix this, Oh, and food stamps too.

Happy days are here again, Obama says the economy is really doing good.

They are trying REAL hard to whitewash the damage the Usurper and his minions have done to the economy... a 38% increase in people on food stamps, and yet they claim “little impact”.

I am beginning to think that Lyndon Johnson did more harm to America than any other single President, even Zero.

“Watch I’ll have those “N.........” voting democrat for two hundred years”- Lyndon Johnson

p.s. a quote you rarely if ever hear from Black Caucus members.. -OR- white democrats even from half-white democrats..

President Obama truly loves poor people, that's why he makes so many of them.

Whoa!!! Don’t leave out Jimmah & Roslyn Carter who even supported and attended Jim Jone’s “church” in the San Francisco Bay Area before “Jones Town” mass suicide!!!

Liberals look at the national debt under Obama, which has gone from $10.6T to $17.3T and say “imagine how bad poverty would be if we hadn’t invested an extra nearly seven trillion dollars in programs that redistribute wealth”.

Decent people look at the extra debt and say, “imagine how much the private sector could have done to reduce poverty if those seven trillion dollars had been available to create real, productive jobs”.

“his policies have had little impact overall on poverty.”.......

I don’t call adding 13 million people to the poverty roles as having “little impact on poverty”.
