This is why middle class 45-54 year olds are using drugs and killing themselves.

The economy sucks so bad.

The Causes of Income Inequality

http://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2015/11/the_causes_of_income_inequality.html

“The federal government encourages the massive illegal and legal immigration that plays a huge role in job scarcity and income suppression for American workers. To paraphrase Milton Friedman, a viable economy cannot exist with open borders and unrestricted immigration.”

Liberals are so shockingly stupid that they look at this explosive growth in the numbers experiencing poverty and say, “imagine how much worse it would have been without Obama, without Obamacare, without the TARP/Bailout/Stimulus.”

Conservatives look at the same facts and say, “this is exactly what we warned you would happen with Obama, with Obamacare, with the TARP/Bailout/Stimulus.”

Yet, no one in America is starving. And I wonder how many “poor” Americans have big screen TV’s, air conditioning, a bed to sleep in.

Oh, and a smart phone.

When Lyndon Johnson started his WAR ON POVERTY, a cartoon appeared in a newspaper which summed it up exactly.

A poverty stricken Hillbilly is sitting on his log cabin front porch and his wife, reading a newspaper, says to him.

“Homer, the President says he is going to start a war on Poverty!”
Homer says: “Well, if HE wants me to join, he is going to have to draft me!”

If this was a Republican administration, some variation of this article would be running as the lead story on the news -- EVERY NIGHT.

But, as long as the Anointed Won is in the Oval Office, the only thing you will hear about this is... [crickets].

However, if a conservative Republican defies the odds and wins the nomination (which is the only way Shrillary! will lose), you can expect it will become the lead crusade... err, news story.

Fact #22 - virtually all of the growth in poverty has been due to the flood of illiterate, impoverished illegal aliens, encouraged by the government and big business interests.

Sounds like that War on Poverty that LBJ started in 1965...needs to declare a truce, it ain´t working. Makes one right proud to be PRESIDENT OF THE USA looking at these stats.

Wonder how much of the influx of illegal immigrants contributed to these stats? Or more will contribute once they are given a path to citizenship?

The Federal Government uses a false description of poverty.

For a family of 4, it is ~$24,000.

If you make $24k a year, you are in the top 2.25% of the world’s population for income.
