Friday's jobs data proves it - America is back baby!!! Or is it all totally manipulated statistical shenanigans? A quick glimpse at the following charts two rather uncomfortably 'non-recovery-like' lines - of structural unemployment and the percent of the US population of Food Stamps - would suggest that for much of America, the recovery never happened... and in fact has got worse...

Obama has also seen t it that THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN MORE PEOPLE WITHOUT JOBS (or in very sub-standard/ sub-optimal “under-employed” situations just trying to get by ...)

Big Food, including all the large grocery retailers, love this. Solves the age old question of how you sell your product to people who don’t have any money.

Income redistribution...Tax the middle class and the wealthy, transfer the money to BigGov for their share...then throw some crumbs to the rabble.

The rabble then becomes dependent on BigGov for it's pittance, but never becomes satisfied because BiGov can NEVER give SELF PRIDE that comes from being SELF RELIANT.

Now BigGov can keep blaming the ones paying taxes for the lack of satisfaction the rabble have due to their BigGov imposed dependency.

Oh, the whole “Welfare Queen” thing is a Myth you know... or so goes the Liberal talking points of today......

We don’t have “Welfare Queens” we have “Welfare EVERYONE” including illegals....

I suspect a lot of the people on food stamps are under-employed, working few hours or low-wage jobs, and still getting assistance.

I suspect some big companies that pay low wages sort of count on their peeps getting assistance. Thus they don’t really need a living wage.

There are some manufacturing jobs in our community that start people out at $8.50 per hour.
