Poverty Levels on the rise The Associated Press surveyed more than a dozen economists, think tanks and academics, both nonpartisan and those with known liberal or conservative leanings, and found a broad consensus: The official poverty rate will rise from 15.1 percent in 2010, climbing as high as 15.7 percent. Several predicted a more modest gain, but even a 0.1 percentage point increase would put poverty at the highest since 1965. Obama has skyrocketed poverty more than any other President in decades. No surprise, erally. |

This should be great news for all those who support Mr. Obama's "trickle-up poverty" programs. They are clearly working as planned. The more people dependent on the government to live the better his re-election chances are.
For what it's worth it was worth all the while

Obama just got stuck with cleaning up the mess. The vast consensus is that if the economy is not seen as getting better, Obama will lose. Last edited by 124nic8; 07-22-2012 at 02:13 PM.. Reason: Automerged Doublepost |
