This must please Obama.
“poverty” should be in quote marks.
America is maybe the only country ever where our “poor” people weigh four hundred pounds, and their twelve year old kids half that.
Oh yeah — and our poor folk text each other on their cutting edge cell phones. Whassup wif dat?
You have to feel sorry for those suffering from unemployment, the inability to provide for one’s family, a seemingly never-ending search for a job, and the humbling visit to food shelves to survive, but I’d think the first thing one would do is to quite smoking $6.00 per pack cigarettes. That would buy some food for the kids.
The woman with four children...
Thinking, thinking.
Man, what causes that terrible condition? Any help Freepers?
Saw the show and braced myself for the inevitable “Obama comes to the rescue” ending. They didn’t go that route, because of course we know he doesn’t come to anyone’s rescue but himself and his communist cronies.
It was a very compelling show with real people suffering from lack of good jobs in our current economy. But why would someone have 3 kids in 3 years by 3 different men then wonder why she is having problems?? I also wondered how the people afforded cigarettes. And why were the some of the people saying they were going hungry yet were very overweight??
There is definitely an unemployment problem in Ohio. But I guess I just wonder why people exacerbate the problem by buying cigarettes and having too many kids they can’t support?
Bush’s fault.
The first thing you have to know about southern Ohio is that most counties down there have had an unemplyment rate of better than 15% for over 30 years since the mines and mills started to close.It is getting to the point where no one remembers anyone in ther family ever working.There really is nothing there except people.
Bush’s fault.
