Ironic.. considering the amount of debunked crap that you and your winger cohorts on here post repeatedly
So FORCE those fuckers to share.. those ones you don't like... right??
And less and less of a % of the population working all the time under this reign
Yep. Just wait untill that number surpasses the working #
Isnt this the definition of "safety net"? How wonderful a country to have the ability to feed our poor and unemployed rather than let them starve...until this horrible economic mess passes. What caused this economic mess anyway?
A country with more jobs and prosperity is a more wonderful country because it has a better ability to feed a smaller poor and smaller unemployed pool and have less starving. Since you asked, The Community Reinvestment Act caused this economic mess.....a program rooted in class envy.
Ah. You're one of those idiots who swallowed the CRA meme, eh?
The number of people receiving SNAP benefits increased
by almost 50 percent between fiscal years 2001 and 2005
and even more rapidly (by 70 percent) between fiscal
years 2007 and 2011. During that latter period, spending
on SNAP benefits grew by about 135 percent. The
increase in the number of people eligible for and receiving
benefits between 2007 and 2011 has been driven
primarily by the weak economy. That increase was
responsible for about 65 percent of the growth in
spending on benefits between 2007 and 2011. About
20 percent of the growth in spending can be attributed
to temporarily higher benefit amounts enacted in the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(ARRA). The remainder stemmed from other factors,
such as higher food prices and lower income among beneficiaries,
both of which boost benefits.
Between 1990 and 2011, the number of SNAP participants
increased during periods of relatively high
unemployment (see Figure 1). Even as the unemployment
rate began to decline from its 1992, 2003, and
2010 peaks, decreases in participation typically lagged
improvement in the economy by several years. For
example, the number of SNAP participants rose steadily
from about 20 million in the fall of 1989 to more than
27 million in April 1994nearly two years after the
unemployment rate began to fall and a full three years
after the official end of the recession in March 1991. The
number of people receiving SNAP benefits began to
climb again in 2001 and continued to grow until 2006,
more than two years after the unemployment rate began
to decline and well after that recession ended (in November
2001). The number of participants temporarily
leveled off in 2006 and 2007 until the unemployment
rate began to rise sharply in 2008. Participation then
started to grow quickly and has continued to increase
since then.
The primary reason
for the increase in the number of participants was the
deep recession from December 2007 to June 2009 and
the subsequent slow recovery; there were no significant
legislative expansions of eligibility for the program during
that time.
Ironic.. considering the amount of debunked crap that you and your winger cohorts on here post repeatedly
Ooh, that's some come-back. You righties haven't debunked a damn thing. I have a question that has been burning in my brain for a long time that no right winger can or will answer:
Can you provide me with one stitch of legislation proposed by the GOP that actively helps the average American worker making $40K a year vs. benefitting the wealthy or a corporation or industry? Just one.
So FORCE those fuckers to share.. those ones you don't like... right??
But, but... they TOLD us it would trickle down! Sucks that we fell for that horse shit.
Oh.. and BTW.. the middle class were the biggest recipients of the Bush tax cuts...
Trickle down does not mean that all the sudden poverty disappears or the poor live comfortably on a minimum wage job that most any trained ape could do
And on cue you post a winger site..Oh.. and BTW.. the middle class were the biggest recipients of the Bush tax cuts...
No they absolutely were NOT.
Bush Tax Cuts Have Provided Extremely Large Benefits to Wealthiest Americans Over Last Nine Years ? Center on Budget and Policy Priorities
You didn't answer my question. I'm not talking about taxes. I am talking about legislation that is beneficial to the average working American's life (ie protection from the private sector) vs benefitting (very, very unfairly) the wealthy and corporate interests. The GOP is constantly coming up with legislation that benefits the wealthy and corporations over regular citizens, many of which, frankly, I think are unconstitiutional. Why do you guys defend this? And this is exactly what made Rubio's speech so cringeworthy and laughable.
Trickle down does not mean that all the sudden poverty disappears or the poor live comfortably on a minimum wage job that most any trained ape could do
No, it meant that the prosperity and profits harvested by the already wealthy "job creators" (that one still makes me chuckle) would "trickle down" to the rest of us. Yeah, that didn't happen.

And so you were not talking about taxes because you meant everything but the things that the GOP has done for those other than 'the rich'... you will point out everything that is states as an 'exception'... your typical tactic
Yes. The GOP has proposed repealing ObamaCare.
That was easy!

The GOP has never done one thing in favor of the average working American. That is a fact. And the tax breaks defiinitely favored the wealthy. It's just a fact. Those numbers are real, whatever site they came from.
