For some strange reason, the same day the disputed 7.8% unemployment
figure hit the "news" talk show circuits, the fact that 46.7 million Americans are on
food stamps did not. I didn’t know this
either, but the total Americans enrolled in the USDA’s food-stamp program has
exceeded 46 million since September 2011.
COMMENTS:
What this means is
that 47 million Americans are not making enough money to survive. No matter how you dice it or slice it or spin
it, there is a lot of hurt going on in this country right now.
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. You many times said you did not expect Obama to be
President after 2011 or in 2012. He’s
still alive and kicking. Now what do you
say? (Panda ~ Tacoma, WA)
A. As much as I dislike him?
I never expected an assassination, but would never want to be a Secret
Service Agent with thus guy. I expected
resignation or impeachment. The press
and the media being totally in his pocket, however, the information necessary to
stoke the public’s angst up was smothered.
Q. Gas prices are up everywhere, but California is
outrageous. What is going to happen
now? (Li ~ Los Angeles, CA)
A. They say it’s due to refinery problems and that the law
of supply and demand sets the prices.
There is also another law that should be taking effect: You can’t take
advantage of an emergency situation to make unreasonable profits. High fuel prices actually kicked off the
recession we’re in. I look for
California’s economy, what’s left of it, to come to a grinding halt.
Q. Do you think Obama can make a comeback from the first
debate? (Sal ~ Redding, CA)
A. You never rule a culprit out until the fat canary sings,
or something like that. I think I have
finally sized up his lack of preparation and solid debate; he knows that regardless of all the
politics he is going to win. That can
only mean one thing, and I hope I’m wrong: he’s prepared to perform a
pre-emptive strike against Iran’s nuclear sites this month, if necessary in order to retain
his Presidency.
