The Associated Press is reporting that four out of five U.S. adults are in poverty or relying on government subsidies (welfare) in order to survive. Hardship is particularly growing among whites, based on several measures. Pessimism among that racial group about their families' economic futures has climbed to the highest point since at least 1987. In the most recent AP-GfK poll, 63 percent of whites called the economy "poor." The gauge defines "economic insecurity" as a year or more of periodic joblessness, reliance on government aid such as food stamps or income below 150 percent of the poverty line. Measured across all races, the risk of economic insecurity rises to 79 percent.
COMMENTS:
There it is in black and white, folks. You can take all of the nice little
statistics the Obama team puts out every month and put them in the shredder,
because the real story about our economy is told above. Do you
think we can survive another 3-1/2 years of this Presidency?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. There was that big flap about the juror on the Zimmerman
trial coming out and saying he was guilty; you said that she basically was
saying Zimmerman killed Martin, but that the facts did not support a Murder 2
or Manslaughter conviction as the judge described it. There was so much flack in the news, and then
it just died like it never existed. What
happened? (Ronnie ~ Carlsbad, CA)
A. This all started with an interview the juror had with ABC
News. ABC is now being accused of
knowingly and deliberately editing the story and manipulating some of her
statements to make it sound as if she was saying the trial was not fair. To Barack Obama, Eric Holder, the liberal
media, ABC News, Al Sharpton, Jessie Jackson, Maxine Waters and all of the
other lying and conniving bastards out there who are desperately trying to goad
someone into killing Zimmerman off, I pray for a pox on them… a pox of the very
worst kind.
Q. Planned Parenthood is going to have full access to all of
the private data collected by the feds on me?
What in the hell for? (Janice ~
Ogden, UT)
A. Probably because you read my posts. The nonprofit will have access to ObamaCare’s Federal
Data Hub. The database contains citizens’ information collected from the
Treasury Department, Internal Revenue Service, Department of Homeland Security and
Department of Justice, and includes Social Security numbers. All of this information, being made available
to every Tom, Dick and Harry who wants it, is abhorrent to me. Why are
we taking this lying down?
Q. I can’t believe what is happening to gas prices. They are skyrocketing and no one is
complaining? (Fred ~ Sparks, NV)
A. AAA says the worst is yet to come. We are currently 23 cents higher than this
same time last year and heading higher. Expect
another 30 to 35 cents in increase before Labor Day. If you don’t like it, ask Obama why he flatly
refuses to okay the Keystone Pipeline.
