• Poor people in America

    From irishranger317@gmail.com@21:1/5 to All on Wed Sep 13 07:08:39 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

    Except that the transfer payments from government mean they are really
    living at a $50K+ level.

    That assumes every poor person is getting every transfer payment possible, including ones that have long wait lists or for which only a few people qualify, which is ludicrous.

    Ridiculous. We are utterly and overly generous, which is why there is the landrush immigration occurring.

    *Every*? You don't need "every" to get your poverty rate under 10%, which
    is where we are at.

    Maybe Congress should do something other than trying to figure out ways to impeach Biden.

    Maybe they could pass bills that would reduce the number of laws.

    The main stream press don't seem to understand Bidenomics is failing, they need to get real about America's problems and stop the cheerleading.
