US poverty on track to rise to highest since 1960s

[Kerry Won Ohio]

I agree, what is the exit strategy on the War on Poverty...funny liberals never have an answer....Noone knows any metrics on this

Their answer is that the Republicans didn't let them take, from the producers, and spend enough money. Always the same tune from the liberal left, if we only spent more money.

The problem is the poor and middle class don't have ANY MONEY to spend, you fucking dolt. Hence the rise in the poverty rate. It started with Reagan and got much worse under the fucking idiot Dubya.

It's funny how you ignorant unsophisticated dumb fuck Repugs constantly whine about welfare for the poor, but you sure as hell don't care about welfare for the rich. The 2008 and 2009 Wall Street bailouts are a perfect example. You fuckholes are silent as a mouse about the billions spent on that.

I guess the Koch brothers told you stupid Repug serfs to keep your mouths shut about that and you enthusiastically obliged like the pathetic lap dogs that you are.

The bottom line -- All poor and middle class Repugs are little peasant suckers who vote against their best economic interest year after year. Your racist beliefs are more important to you than your pocketbook. Sad, but true.

Kansas has money to spend (and we are spending it). Lot's of job opportunities around here.

The Pubs have been dismantling the Great Society since Nixon, and Voodoo and Reaganism have killed the nonrich, our infrastructure, and demand for product- the Boosh Meltdown destroyed 40% of middle class wealth. You're out of your tiny brainwashed minds...Memorize sig PP1 and the lies Pubs use to distract you pp3- GD idiots...

Given the nature, severity, depth and breadth of this meltdown, I'm not at all surprised. An entirely self-inflicted wound, decades in the making and cultural in character.

We now return you to the simplistic partisan finger-pointing, see if you can stay awake.

.

An excellent and realistic analysis.

US poverty on track to rise to highest since 1960s

My Way News - US poverty on track to rise to highest since 1960s

WASHINGTON (AP) - The ranks of America's poor are on track to climb to levels unseen in nearly half a century, erasing gains from the war on poverty in the 1960s amid a weak economy and fraying government safety net.

Census figures for 2011 will be released this fall in the critical weeks ahead of the November elections.

The Associated Press surveyed more than a dozen economists, think tanks and academics, both nonpartisan and those with known liberal or conservative leanings, and found a broad consensus: The official poverty rate will rise from 15.1 percent in 2010, climbing as high as 15.7 percent. Several predicted a more modest gain, but even a 0.1 percentage point increase would put poverty at the highest since 1965.

Yup, we better give the wealthy another tax cut as soon as possible.

Those who wish to blame liberal policies , which none are noted , are usually the same folks who don't even dare whisper the name of Dubya , the creator of the failed policies that has put more people into poverty . The gap between the halves and have nots greatly increases under republican stewardship , that's an undeniable fact . And what does the party of God mean to do to alleviate poverty ? why more tax cuts for the one percenters while raising them on the middle class and the poor . Forget job creating , even though they said they would laser in on job creating is they got congress back all they've done was push more of the same failed economic policies that have pushed more people into poverty then at any other time in history . The republican party doesn't care about America , if they did those blaming Obama would put forth examples of their accomplishments in contrast to what ths president has actually done , created more jobs than all of the Bush years combined .

I believe if you check, you'll find that the current republican lead house has submitted more than a dozen jobs bills to the senate, and Reid will not allow any of them to reach the floor of the senate.
Obama's job bill was voted down by the senate 98-0.

Calling a bill a 'jobs bill' does not make it so. Repealing the ACA won't create jobs, and neither will banning abortion or giving the rich more tax cuts (we've already tried that one -- the results are evident).

Thank you, now tell your liberal buddies that, Congress DOES NOT create jobs, they can only influence conditions that may or may not create jobs

Ok franco, which programs have been eliminated? And what is the specific goal of these programs?

[Claudette]

Well Hell.

And here I thought LBJ's War on Poverty was such a rousing success.

It sure cost and is costing we taxpayers up the ass.

Of course Govt has no problem hosing the taxpayers. Been doing a damned good job of that for decades.

 

[Care4all]

I've never seen such selfish, self centered people as the ones here.

You think all those unemployed people getting gvt help haven't paid taxes all their lives to the gvt and you are bitching about the gvt helping them, when they finally need it?

Who raised you to be this me me me me me me me type people without any thought or concern about others, who through no fault of their own, are now unemployed? Seriously....what makes you so special ....or even a human being?

We are concerned for others. We are concerned for people who have been out of work for 3 years because Obama's stimulus package was the biggest failure in economic history. We are concerned that the drop in asset values most families have experienced has also eroded family life. We are concerned with the loss of dignity and independence that using gov't services life welfare brings. That's why we all want Obama gone in January 13 if not sooner so this country can begin getting back to work. Because Obama's not working.

You can thank Reaganomics and bullshit supply side trickle down economics. The middle class was thriving in the 1970s before idiot Reagan took over. Of course, you Repug dumb fucks will NEVER understand that because you are fucking serfs sucking the cocks of rich Repugs.

It is your poor white trash duty after all to do the bidding of your rich Repug feudal masters, just like the poor white trash who fought for the plantantion owners during the Civil War.

You have to be about 12 years old to make such asinine statements. The economy under Carter was dismal at best to the point where the fool gave his famous Malaise speech. During the 70s under Carter there were long gasoline lines and OPEC rose up to control our fuel prices for the foreseeable future. Reagan started the greatest peace time expansion of the economy in history one that Clinton rode to glory, unless of course you wish to point to what you believe Clinton did. Of course Clinton had a Republican Congress with a contract to America in which they were successful in fulfilling. What did Clinton leave Bush? A recession, a dot.com crash, free trade agreements, a Y2K wind down and yes 9/11. All that and the economy remained stable. But now the chickens are coming home to roost over Clinton's free trade agreements and some act surprised.

Then what happened in 2006, you should be old enough to remember. Yes, the democrats took over Congress, they did everything they wanted and ignored Bush. No Budget for them they just spent and spent. Two full years to do whatever they wanted, WHATEVER. Then one year of doing anything that they and Obama wanted. And what did they do about jobs? Absolutely nothing but spend you grandchildren into debt. They concentrated on Obamatax the biggest tax increase in the history of the country. No, it is the left that ignores the damage they inflict. You can be forgiven because obviously you are not old enough to remember and if you are then I feel bad for your early on set of Alzheimer disease.

6 years of democrat foolery and the poverty rate is increasing, we can't do more of the same that would be lunacy, or liberal not much different.

If the rich have the money how else is the money to flow? What is wrong with the liberal left? I sure prefer trickle down economics to trickle up poverty.

 

[Nova78]

But Obama says the private sector is doing just great....

Mitt has the soloution. change the definition of the poverty level.
