It seems that as the government continues to raise more and more taxes to "help" more and more poor people, more and more businesses go out of business which leads to more and more poor people.

The government is sucking the wealth out of the economy and making us all into dependents.

When Barack Obama first set foot in the Oval Office, 60.6 percent of all working age Americans had a job. Today, that number is sitting at only 59.2 percent…

Sorry I think that number is total BS, no way it's that high, not only that but I am sure that figure includes immigrants which makes it invalid to begin with.

Interesting, but..................

I can attest from my own experience that many of those facts apply to myself today after living 6 years under the tyrant’s rule. Prior to that time life was so much different, better and stable

Thanks for posting. We need tons of this.

#12 At this point, one out of every three adults in the United States has an unpaid debt that is “in collections“.

I listen to the radio virtually 24/7 and for a long, long time I've heard ad after ad offering help settling debts and taxes.

There are a few ads offering free bottles of stuff to cure what ails you.. free except for an excuse to get your credit card number to pay "postage and handling" and sign up up for monthly shipments. Don't like the name of the product? Wait it'll be back with another name and claim.

The link has details as to what was used to calculate the prices.

Our Price Basket - or Cost Of Living 2008 - 2014 Latest Inflation Update December 2014 Interest Rates, Housing, Food, Gas, Stamps, Dollar Exchange Rate, Dow Jones, Movie Ticket, College Tuition and Wages. We created this page to address two specific needs 1. Providing a comparison for earlier years and 2. As a means of watching how prices and wages react and the effects on inflation, prices and wages when the world comes out of the recession . As you can see we have changed the format to make it easier to read. Hope You Like the new style. To gain an idea of true inflation check 2008 prices to current with our Price Basket Graphic -- Steve As you can see from our table the overall basket of goods has increased significantly from 2008 to 2014, Our real world Price basket of goods shows an increase of over 45% from May 2008 to September 2012 far above published inflation figures and I believe reflects how the working class and the middle class have been effected by real world prices and stagnation in wages due to high unemployment, our basket is representative of the goods and services we all use and buy. Obviously different people spend on different amounts and types from our food basket dependent on multiple factors 1. Size of family, 2. Income, but we hope it offers an insight into real world inflation we are all affected by as opposed to government statistics. Our basket of goods shows a slight increase from 2013 to 2014 which could be suprising when you consider the price of Gas has decreased ( the big factor was the increase of Tide Soap Powder ) other factors including rent, taxes ( local and State ) College Tuition, Cost of a Stamp, Movie Ticket or going out for a meal all affect how much disposable income we have available

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others. This was foreseeable, predictable, preventable. It’s out of control now. The burning train has to go all the way to the bottom.

Elections are just kabuki theater now. Switch a few faces, pretend the balance of power has shifted a bit. Give the hopeless side of the populace some false hope to keep producing for the pigs. The it quickly reverts to business as usual - the business of robbing us all blind of of what we have left to support a third world dictatorship. Yep. Hope and change. Fundamental transformation. Breathtaking criminality with everyone helplessly watching and no one doing a thing about it because you can’t defy a pig. It’s all set up to be impossible. Can’t take back what’s yours, save your heritage, your history, your children’s future. Pigs rule now. What are you gonna do?

#22 While Barack Obama has been in the White House, the number of Americans on food stamps has gone from 32 million to 46 million.

"apparently he still believes that there are people out there that are buying what he is selling."

Would you buy a camel from this man? It's not the Camelot they were led to believe.

This guy is destroying the middle class.

[VTenigma]

That’s because we haven’t taxed those earning over $500,000 enough. Do I even really need the sarc?

How can those be true? 0bama has told us on numerous occassions (and probably again tonight) that, by virtually every indicator, our economy is better than when he was coronated.

He wouldn’t lie to us, would he???

[Jane Long]

Too bad Rep. Joe Wilson (or ANY Congresscritter) won’t stand up and refute EVERY lie 0bola tells tonight....with these 27 facts.

[Yaelle]

An awful lot of those apply to my family. We lost our primary source of income the month after his inauguration and it’s been hard to ever catch up. Health insurance? He royally screwed us there, as well.
