New stats show that poverty is increasing for all americans, across all ethnic groups.

So much so, that 80% of people will have a period (at least 1 year) with joblessness and poverty.

Exclusive: 4 in 5 in US face near-poverty, no work - SFGate

This is very distressing, and really underscores the fact we need to find a permanent solution to eliminate, or reduce economic inequality. The problems of class mobility are especially heightened these days. And it doesn't matter what ethnic group you are in.

I know stats can be twisted and such but anything close to this picture is sad as hell. I mean down in the dumps sad.

Huh?? How can that be when dear leader is working so hard to fix it all??

"In an e-mail to supporters, First Lady Michelle Obama says she grew up in a family that didn't need help from the government, and that her husband is working to make Americans free from dependence on government once again.

In her message sent yesterday from democratparty@democrats.org, Mrs. Obama says:
"When I was growing up, a family like mine -- living on my hard-working father's salary at the city water plant -- could build a solid life without much debt and without relying on any form of public assistance. Today, for too many families, that American promise is no longer within reach.

"Barack is working to fix that and he needs solid Democrats in Congress to help him."

More like hardly working..........

"President Obama is playing his usual round of Saturday golf with his usual roundup of junior aides. He stopped briefly at the White House following his event at the Korean War Memorial today before heading out to the course at Fort Belvoir in Northern Virginia."

Obama* is reducing "economic inequality" by impoverishing all of us (except his cronies). Forward!

Still Bush's fault five years later. Only the hard core Obamites still go to the "Bush's fault" card. Sad but it's all they got anymore.

It will never "time out" for those looking to make excuses for the ONE. You appear to fall into that category.

seems your own argument is simply that "it isnt Bush's fault" and nothing more. You cant even explain your own argument. Half your post are copy and pasted from other posters or other sites, the other half are one liners like this.
