And all this time we have been told the economy is doing well.
F U B O!
#KidsLivesMatter
Socialism at its finest.
This chief-evildoer has lied about the Depression that has ground America down for over seven years. Look at the number of EBT cards issued and use that number to calculate the millions who are worse off today.
Why is this happening ? Is it all regions and all races?
OK, here’s the deal on poverty statistics. They do not count non-cash benefits courtesy of taxpayers. So, a family could be getting welfare, food stamps, free housing, free or subsidized utilities, Medicaid, schools with free meals for the kiddies, and even a free phone PLUS whatever small cash income they may or may not report, and still be considered to be living in poverty. It’s a scam.
I’ve been watching The First 48 lately, and in just about all the poor folks I’ve seen have cell phones (not just plain Obama phones, either), gold teeth, expensive athletic wear and shoes, expensive fake nails, and sometimes expensive vehicles, but I bet they are all counted in the poverty stats.
Oh, and many of them are armed to the teeth with expensive weapons. This is why the cops have started using military equipment.
You can’t keep people as expensive pets and expect them to maintain their dignity. The war on poverty is a disaster.
Real poverty exists in other countries where people are scrounging on garbage dumps for food and living in cardboard shanties.
Shocking!
This country is headed for a brick wall at mach one.
I hate Obama but I question these statistics. What is considered poverty? Does it include illegals? How many families with a mom and dad living together does this include?
I think this is more of a cultural issue than an economic issue. Just my two cents.
but the worst is Republicans LOVE democrats loving poor people..
and not for the reasons you might suspect there either..
Everything Zer0 has touched has deteriorated and gotten worse. A case study in Democrats’ homegrown version failure of socialism. Fortunately, only 1 1/2 years left. If we can only hold out that long. And, not get 3rd term Obama.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Marxism works! /to impoverish the people and make politicians rich
Obola - America’s very own poverty pimp Nero.
What they’re really saying is that 3 million kids more are getting subsidized ...subsidized housing, welfare payments, free baby sitting, meals at school....
Just part of the Democrat War on Children.
Wait a minute, that's not a true statement...........since it doesn't define those children as American, just look at how many Mexican, Central American, Middle Eastern and African children he has raised above the poverty rate............ at the expense of American children.
The jerkoff in the White House won’t be happy until he places everyone in the poverty class and totally destroys this nation.
Children might be doing worse, but criminals, thugs, illegals, deserters, Cuba, Norht Korea, and Iran are doing better... much better.
