Long Term Unemployed Surges to Post-Pandemic High

[Lisa558]

We have spent 27 trillion in blacks, Affirmative action, DEI, welfare, The Community Reinvestment Act, quotas and today they are no better off in fact the two parent family is destroyed, worst crime rate in the country, IQ dropped 15 points, lowest education results, low standards just fir them
Before the Democrat welfare state AAs were making great strides in employment and education. They had two parent families , low crime rates, low out of wedlock births, so democrats passed the Great Society and they went straight to hell. Democrats created the urban plantation and owned their vote by making them dependent on the state.

It used to be that blacks without anything beyond a high school education opened little businesses, got factory jobs, or lower-level office jobs. They were married and provided for their children.

Now, thanks to rewarding blacks to NOT marry the fathers of their children and NOT claim child support, their lives are much worse. It’s what LBJ wanted: to keep the n’s dependent on welfare and voting D for 200 years.

How much is this reward, and show us a link that supports yer opinion.

• Widespread use: A 2012 study by the Pew Research Center found that 52% of Republicans reported having benefited from a major entitlement program at some point in their lives, compared to 60% of Democrats and 53% of Independents.

But you can only find enough outrage to ***** about blacks on welfare...My, my, we are a racist....with selective outrage...

Is that right?

Care to prove ANY of that?

By the way, I know many black owned businesses. “Used to be” … your ass

Republicans spent decades railing against welfare recipients. Now, they're deeply reliant on them to win elections.

Why it matters: The explosion of people getting 25% or more of their income from government aid — and Republican reliance on their votes — vividly explains the rise of former President Trump and the remaking of the Republican Party.




The big picture: Trump rose to power with the backing of the working class, then reoriented the party to focus on them as much as big business.

• This helps explain the massive surge in government spending under Trump, his continued opposition to trade agreements, his scorn for GOP ideas to gut Social Security and Medicare, and his us-vs.-them rhetoric.

Trump saw what establishment Republicans missed:

• Residents in more than half of America's counties (53%) drew a substantial share of their total income — more than a quarter — from the government in 2022, according to a new study, "The Great Transfer-mation," by the Economic Innovation Group, a bipartisan think tank.
• In 2000, that was the case in just 10% of counties.

They feel empowered when they dehumanize black people.

High school grads without any type of job or career training aren’t worth that much. So what they need to do is 1) take a $35,000 a year and double up with a roommate, and 2) use a Pell Grant to attend community college in the evening and get vocational training.

And it shouldn't be that way.

If you are willing to work 40 hours per week, then you should not be forced to live in poverty. Not in the wealthiest country in the world, where billionaires get $1 trillion tax cuts.

You have been a Repug sucker your entire life...fighting for the wealth of rich Repugs who laugh at you and pity you. Sad, but true.

1) Who says $35,000 a year is poverty? When you don’t have any real vocational skills, you move in with a roommate and share costs. Living in a modest 2-bedroom apartment, buying groceries, and taking the bus to work is not poverty.

2) And who said I’ve been a Republican all my life? I used to be a Democrat. I changed over when I saw Democrats believed in “giving a man a fish” and I believe in “teaching a man how to fish.”

That depends on what youre worth, your education, skills, ability intelligence. Personal capital. Dont have it then get it.

Spoken like someone who has never earned any of this.

I have a bachelor's degree in computer science. I earned the difficult Cisco Certified Network Associate (CCNA) certification a couple of years ago. And I'm only making $90K per year, working from home.

I know what I'm talking about....you don't.

More idiocy. You cannot be happy making such a meager income. You are fighting for survival, which takes an emotional, physical, and psychological toll on people.

2) And who said I’ve been a Republican all my life? I used to be a Democrat. I changed over when I saw Democrats believed in “giving a man a fish” and I believe in “teaching a man how to fish.”

Well...then you've confirmed that you are a pathetic sucker.

Thats not enough for you.
I started 5 business and retired at 50. You should learn how to invest. Perhaps a masters degree would help you increase your human capital.
You dont earn what you think you need. You earn what youre worth. If you need more then you screwed up and thats your problem.

No kidding, considering the average cisco certified network associate gross salary in United States is $162,600. You must be really bad at your job or really stupid.

That's not true. Maybe if you are a CCNP with 10+ years of experience, not a CCNA.

Someone is taking care of your worthless, selfish ass.

You are not smart enough to succeed on your own.

HIs pay reflects his education only undergraduate and there is always job performance as well

I had 5 business since I was 25 retired at 50. Published one book and many articles Im read world wide. Im a successful investor. Not bad for a foster kid. I have a masters degree in psychology and tested IQ of 135
What you need is your problem but you want others to take care of you. You have it backwards. Youre the one begging for a handout

People are being fired and hired at the same time. Youre showing stage 1 thinking. The economy is in transition and still in many ways the Biden economy. Government jobs are being fired thats good thing since they cost us money and are funded by debt which cause inflation.
Trump is creating the foundation for a strong economy and its already working. Inflation is slowing wages are up tax cuts increase spending power. DOW at record highs.

Trump and his cult have to lie about EVERYTHING.
Trump HAD a good foundation.
Trump WAS in the Biden economy.

Within months, as usual.........Trump turns it into a dumpster fire.

I just don't believe you.

You are too much of a racist, too mean-spirited to be a successful person.

If the mentally ill sociopath Trump wasn't born wealthy, he would be in jail or wandering the streets homeless right now.
