• Poor people in America

    From Irish Ranger@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 13 07:09:40 2023
    "Let's talk about poor people in America. Statistics from
    the Census Bureau out this week say poverty is increasing
    for the first time in 22 years. The bureau puts the number at
    about 38 million folks living below the poverty line of $30,000
    a year for a family of four.

    President Biden says poverty is increasing because of some
    cutbacks to the massive social programs Democrats have
    created. The left is committed to supporting Americans who
    cannot cut it in the marketplace by giving them entitlements
    gleaned from the taxes of working people. This is called
    " income redistribution."

    The problem here is that the federal government now owes
    about $33 trillion dollars. The USA cannot cover its massive
    bills, soit has to borrow.

    Joe Biden could not care less. He is in business to buy votes
    by promising free stuff to the have-nots. He has absolutely no
    plan to reduce poverty through achievement.

    America offers more opportunities than any other country, but
    you have to seize it. Having babies out of wedlock with no assets
    will guarantee you'll be poor. Becoming a substance abuser leads to poverty. So does failing to get an education or refusing to develop a skill.

    There are many pathways to avoid economic hardship. The military, community college degrees, working your butt off, and saving
    your money. But sitting around waiting for government assistance is a doom loop.

    That's the truth. Someone tell Joe Biden." Bill O'Reilly

    I suppose the massive illegal immigration is not helping the statistics
    very much ... no matter whose version you like.

    I think we are not spiraling upward.

    White House prepares for sharp rise in poverty rate

    President Biden and Democrats fought unsuccessfully
    last year to extend an expanded version of the CTC
    that started during the depths of the pandemic and
    temporarily lifted millions of children out of poverty.

    ___________

    Republicans blocked it. So, it’s ANOTHER Republican cause rise in poverty.

    Sorry Mick…. (LOL)
