AP: 4 out of 5 in USA face near-poverty, no work...
Associated Press | July 28, 2013 | Hope Yen

WASHINGTON (AP) — Four out of 5 U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, near poverty or reliance on welfare for at least parts of their lives, a sign of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream. Survey data exclusive to The Associated Press points to an increasingly globalized U.S. economy, the widening gap between rich and poor and loss of good-paying manufacturing jobs as reasons for the trend. The findings come as President Barack Obama tries to renew his administration's emphasis on the economy, saying in recent speeches that his highest priority is to "rebuild ladders of opportunity" and reverse income inequality. Hardship is particularly on the rise among whites, based on several measures. Pessimism among that racial group about their families' economic futures has climbed to the highest point since at least 1987.

People want jobs and careers. All the Rats can offer is welfare and food stamps and public housing.

BS wordsmithing which misleads stupid people to think that opportunity and income are things born of governments.

What a crock of BS?!

I don’t care how bad it is or gets as long as it’s Bush’s fault and obama is working on it as hard as he’s ever worked on anything before, ever.

reverse income inequality

-Genius invents something people want, makes millions.
-Women studies hard, shows great intelligence, goes to college, pre-med, med school, interns, residency, makes 100,000's...
-Dumb guy gets job at McDonalds sweeping floor, returning trays, wiping down tables. Makes minimum wage.
-I own my own business. Bust my a$$ every day, things are going good; I'm smart, made several new clients, want to hire a person to help, but have to keep expenses low...

How the Hell in America, the Home of the Free and the Land of the Brave, is it the President of the United States business in any shape or form how much these people make?????
