I’m sure that when all of those infatuated, mind-numbed, naive morons all voted for Mr. “Hope and Change” back in 2008 they were all pretty proud of themselves. And I’m just as sure they we’re all patting themselves on the back the day of his coronation. But I’m curious, other than those in the black community, the state controlled media, those Occupy Wall Street simpletons and the many flakes in Hollywood, how many are there today that still honestly think electing this guy was really a good idea. I’m mean deep down inside.
Because I’ll tell ya something, since this Chicago thug came into office, the number of working Americans earning so little that they actually live in poverty actually reached 7.2 percent of the labor force in 2010, the highest level in at least two decades. And that’s not me saying it, it’s the U.S government saying it, just last Friday. The Bureau of Labor Statistics counted 7.6 percent of “women” among the working poor, compared to 6.7 percent of men. In 2009, the working poor rate was 7 percent.
Education, as always, made a huge difference. Among workers who had not graduated from high school, 21.4 percent lived below the official poverty line against only 2.1 percent of those with a university degree. The highest rate was amongst the unemployed looking for work during the year at 35.1 percent. The official poverty line in 2010 was an annual income of $10,830 for a single person and $22,050 for a family of four. Also today we have more people on food stamps and on some form of government assistance than ever before.
Overall, the United States had 46.2 million people living in poverty that year, or 15.1 percent of the population of all ages. The working poor totaled 10.5 million. The Bureau of Labor Statistics conducted a special survey in 2011 which it is used to calculate the figures, based on those who were in the labor force for at least 27 weeks either working or looking for work. The rate for working poor was 5.5 percent in 1987, the furthest back that the BLS included in its report, and in 1999 it fell below 5 percent.
Now I’m quite confident that Barry already has a ready-made excuse for these numbers and I’m even more confident that it will somehow be related to George W. Bush, because this gutless wonder is totally incapable of accepting responsibility for absolutely anything. And still many Americans seem to remain so enthralled with this character who possesses no character. Now he thinks he can sweet talk and/or con women into voting for him, and who knows maybe he can. But if they do, they’ll be doing themselves, and the country, no favors.
