obama is making poverty as part of his economic goas. Part of the reason more people need food assistance is because prices are so high, they can't buy today what they did six months ago. They have the same amount of money to spend but the dollar has lost its purchasing power. Now they can't make ends meet.
This is obamas economic policy. There isn't one reason, it's a number of reasons all followed by obama's policies. This might be just unfortunate, but since it's obama's intent to crash the economy it is reprehensible. It's right there in Cloward-Piven, step by step and he's doing it.
An interesting observation, and I think one that all thoughtful Americans ought to at least think about and consider. The Left of course will resent any such suggestion regarding their appointed messiah, and indeed the concept may be flawed, but I have no reasoned rebuttal for it.
I recently started a discussion on 'free stuff'--the thread is now inactive but I'm considering bumping it because I am seeing a very dangerous culture shift that, if it is not checked, will destroy the democratic republic that the Founders gave us.
Free stuff is powerfully addictive. Even those who initially reject it on philosophical grounds, once they get it whether voluntarily or it is forced upon them, it is very difficult to muster the courage to give it up.
The problem is that the government only consumes and redistributes. It creates nothing. It produces nothing. Whatever it consumes and/or redistributes has to be confiscated from somebody else's productivity. And when those consuming and getting the free stuff significantly outnumber the producers, we are dead ducks as far as being a free people is concerned. We will have returned to the 'monarchy' in which the government assigns our rights and orders or lives as it sees fit--the very type of government our Constitution was intended to free us from.
Is a totally dependent and therefore controllable population the goal of Obama and those who support him? It is looking more and more all the time that it is.
I entirely agree that dependency is bad, and we should avoid it as a culture.
But when you have an entire economic model based on finding ways of cheating people who are willing to work for a living so a few can live high on the hog, you are almost asking people to become dependent, are you not?
This is the point I've put out there a bunch of times, and Republicans usually head for the tall grass when I point it out for some reason.
