Post election reality check.

[GeronL]

How is that “recovery” going?

[txrefugee]

Obama’s fault....

[DrC]

I wish this news had come out 10 days ago....

[Red Badger]

Women, children and minorities hardest hit........

[irishjuggler]

And when there are 80 to 100 million in poverty four years from now, it’ll still be... BUSH’S FAULT!

[jwalsh07]

Bush, Sandy or Romney?

[DigitalVideoDude]

According to plan...

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Raise taxes on “the rich”. And give away a few million mo Obamaphones. Oh, then grant amnesty to 10 million illegals.

[The Cajun]

The numbers may come as a surprise to Congress, which estimated in September that the poverty rate would drop to 46.2 million.

There go those danged surprises again.
Doesn't matter that we have been seeing, with our own eyes, people we know who are out of work and struggling to find a job.
Just those danged surprises and our lying eyes at work again.

[Cowboy Bob]

And they all voted for Obama...

Fock'em

[I want the USA back]

We didn’t hear that before the election. I wonder why.

If the communists continue as they are doing, it will be 340 million in poverty. The rest will be the government elite which as always is insulated from poverty.

[jboot]

They’ve got Obama. Who needs money or a job if you’ve got Obama?.

[Zuben Elgenubi]

new statistics on America’s poverty rate indicate that nearly 50 million Americans, more than 16 percent of the population, are struggling to survive.

But, but, but Mr President. The math does not work!

Population of USA is just under 315 million, so 315MM divided by 50MM = 6.3% not the 16 percent stated above.

[Spok]

No one cares, least of all those who stand to pofit the most from poverty-the Democrats.

[History Repeats]

But they still have hope and change right?

That should feed them and keep them safe.

Census: U.S. Poverty Rate Spikes, Nearly 50 Million Americans Affected

CBS isn't pimping this story without an agenda behind it.

I guess we'll just need some "sweeping reforms" and maybe some "expanded presidential powers".

[circlecity]

But only in America could you have a home, a car, cable television, internet and a smart phone and still be considered to be in poverty.

[Nervous Tick]

>> nearly 50 million Americans, more than 16 percent of the population, are struggling to survive.

I am appalled. Clearly, we must immediately tax the working people out the wazoo so the government can give all these poor people more free sh!t.

[Leep]

We havn’t actually hit the hard times. The last four years have been the run up to the real hard times. Wait until the US Dollar is worthless. Print all you want it won’t matter.
Then we will know hard times.
