That is why food stamp enrollment top 45 million 3 years in a row.

My heart goes out to those who haves to live paycheck to paycheck. If they lose their current job, they will fall into poverty.

The ONLY reason my ex is still doing pretty darn good is because he saved up and made some good investment decisions. (He started saving and investment 10+ years ago.)

Yes and I believe it's being deliberately done by the powers that be. Our politicians on both sides of the aisle, and their corporate cronies.

It's all part of the bigger globalization agenda. Third world countries shall rise while first world countries decline and we eventually norm.

There will be 2 classes, the wealthy class and the worker class.

Obviously when opportunity hits them in the face it's too hard for them to take it.

As I wait for an answer I ask another, Democrats claiming it's racist to require a voting ID would make the NAACP racist. They NAACP requires an ID to attend an NAACP conference.

Telling the world I'm incapable would be insulting. Then turn around and say Hey.. I'm equal to everyone else "and can do what everyone else can do".

That's my point. Democrats are insulting blacks but since it's democrats doing the insulting they don't see it.

Oh but it does.

U.S. politics control the U.S. military. The U.S. military is the center piece of all geopolitics (cough oil cough). We live in a world dependent on oil, which we control through our military. Thus, our politicians control a lot of the globe.
