Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives,

Wow...that is a stunning figure. 80% of US adults.... I knew things were bad, but somehow 80% of adults? Wow!

well, that’s three things.

Joblessness
Near Poverty, OR
Reliance on Welfare

So 80% starts looking a LOT less amazing when you think of how many people are unemployed for some period of time in their adult lives.

"Wow...that is a stunning figure. 80% of US adults.... I knew things were bad, but somehow 80% of adults? Wow!"

I'm surprised it's not five-out-of-five, but I guess one out of five must be born with a silver spoon (as was Barack Hussein Obama, with his hippy-dippy anthropologist mom and a Harvard educated dad).

Like most people, I've personally "struggled with joblessness" and "near poverty" but didn't need to "rely on welfare" because I got a job.

This stat can’t be right. The sports stadiums are doing well, for instance.
