Says the one that wants to see poor people die on the street and work hard while not receiving enough to survive.

The poor should be looking at the current resident at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.....He is at the helm.....Stop circling the wagons.

Because Obama can't stop you from hurting the poor with your policies they should reward you? What are you gonna do for them?

 

[thereisnospoon]

It's amazing what Obama can do by printing $38 billion per month. Print the money, give it away to people who don't want to work, drive interest rates to zero, drive investment away from Main Street to Wall Street, claim that the the economy is vastly improved by negating the unemployed from unemployment figures, then blame the resultant poor on the Republicans.

The fix is in. Dog wags tail.

End of fucking story.

Yes, we remember how well the US did under Dubya/GOP 'job Creator" policies for 8 years, you know when Dubya cheered on the Banksters bubble as they used their homes as ATM's? Good job there right?

So how is it that those EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEVIL corporations are screwing the American worker?
The left's problem is they demand to have it both ways...

Middle Class Lost In Obama's 'Middle Class Economics'
Economy: After six-plus years of President Obama's big-spending, tax-raising policies, middle-class families have seen their incomes decline and more families have fallen into poverty, Census data show.

The Census Bureau's latest annual report on income and poverty in America shows that there was little to cheer about in 2014.

I am not seeking 'rewards'....I want to be left alone to make my earnings and pay for the necessities..And maybe to be able to save for the things I might want...
My policies? Newsflash... We the people don't make policy. Those elected by we the people are in charge of policy....
Wow....The excuses you libs will produce to avoid tagging the POTUS with any responsibility are remarkable.
How am I "hurting the poor"?....This ought to be good.
How am I obligated to do anything for "them"?.....I have my own concerns trying to keep a roof over my head and the rest of my responsibilities. What makes you believe I have an obligation to worry about someone else's problems?
If you feel so compelled, go right ahead. Worry yourself to the limits of your endurance.

Hey. You either want the jobs or you don't.
There are plenty of good jobs out there. The thing is those now require more education and/or more skills.
What's your point?
Unions? Who cares. If you want union work, move to one of the tax havens like NY, NJ, IL, CA and find government work....That's where the unions are lingering.
Other than that, Your point is pointless.

Census data shows Obamacare and welfare kept millions out of poverty

If there was any good news in the census data dump on Wednesday, it was that the US’s welfare safety net programs and Barack Obama’s signature healthcare legislation are doing exactly what they are supposed to.

The supplemental poverty measure data released by the US Census bureau showed that programs like food stamps, refundable tax credits and social security benefits helped keep millions of Americans out of poverty in 2014. Similarly, the data regarding health insurance coverage showed that last year the number of uninsured Americans dropped by 8.8 million.

“In 2014, the percentage of people without health insurance for the entire calendar year was 10.4%, or 33 million people, lower than the rate, 13.3%, and the number of uninsured, 41.8 million, in 2013,” Victoria Velkoff, chief of the social, economic and housing statistics division at the bureau, said on Wednesday. “The decrease in the uninsured rate was 2.9%, or 8.8 million people.”

Americans with full-time jobs were the least likely to be uninsured.

“This is dramatic proof that the Affordable Care Act is a stunning success,” said Ron Pollack, executive director of Families USA. “The historic decrease in the number of uninsured Americans is unmistakably attributable to the Affordable Care Act’s implementation.

“The numbers show that the greatest gains were among moderate-income families, communities of color and young people – the precise groups that most needed help in gaining health insurance. According to the report, households with incomes below $25,000 a year saw their rate of coverage increase by 4.3%, and households between $25,000 and $49,999 saw an increase of 5%. Hispanics, black people and Asians increased coverage rates by about 4%. And the rate of uninsured between ages 26 to 34 went down by 5.5%.”

you mean it wasn't the wingers and teatards?

Can't have it both ways. BTW 60% of all US Workers are employed by small business. That is employers of less than 100 people. One other thing. IN spite of your sycophantic feelings toward Obama, there is one certainty, the economy is cyclical. I just is. What goes up MUST come down. And of course the opposite is true.
Deal with it.

That makes no sense... people are so bad off they need public assistance and you claim public assistance kept them from being poor?

You have to already be "in poverty" to qualify for welfare and for subsidies. Once you leave poverty, if ever, you no-longer qualify.

So neither can keep anyone out of poverty. The Op is crap.

They assume that being on government assistance is a wonderful state to be in....and not poverty. ...because welfare feels so warm and fuzzy.....to Democraps.

How would you raise wages?

Remember before bush high school grads could go find a ggod paying union job and raise a family. Those jobs are all but gone.

So how you gonna help high school grads get better pay?

By continuing their education or job training skills.
Oh, BTW, those wonderful union jobs you so lovingly like to mention? Only is a few areas of the country did those jobs ever exist.
At its peak, unions represented just one third of all US workers.
Unions did themselves in. Unions refused to adjust to the times. Unions made labor costs non competitive in many markets. So business did what it needed to do for self preservation.
The days of unions are over. Move on. Others have.

So now the masses who don't like school are just SOL? That's what I thought.

Perhaps you never worked in a factory before. Those aren't the school types. So now you want the masses to go to college just to get a degree to do what? We're talking about the masses. I don't think Republicans get that.

The honest answer is you don't think the masses should do as well as they have.

This should be a warning to Honda and Toyota employees down south. They only pay you well so you don't unionize. Take away that threat and why should a Toyota worker who didn't go to college make more than minimum wage?

Hey, if one does not like school, that is a choice THEY are free to make. They also don't then have the right to turn around and demand higher wages if they make the conscious choice to not further their education or training.
Factory work is no longer for the general studies high school graduate. Jobs in manufacturing now require more advanced skills and training.
Define "the masses"....Companies do not hire "the masses"....They hire individuals
"The honest answer is you don't think the masses should do as well as they have.".....You don't get to assume anything such as this. Admit you are speculating.
I am not concerned with "the masses" because there is no such thing as "the masses"....
"They only pay you well so you don't unionize."....So what? The workers are well compensated. Other than your pro union stance, what is your point? Seems by your story telling about how wonderful unions are and the bubble in which you lived. Fine.
No one claimed any one must possess a college degree in order to gain employment in a manufacturing environment. Prospective employees are also recruited for their exceptional skill levels. Experience in the manufacturing fields is also a plus. The bottom line is the days of an untrained high school drop out or graduate walking into a factory filling out an application and 35 years later walks out with a pension and a Timex.
Based on your making of excuses for these people ( don't like school, not the school types) I see you are the one who not only doesn't get it. You refuse to "get it"....
BTW, those auto manufacturers have factories all over the country.....Not just "down south"...
In fact just ONE of Honda;s US plants are "down south"....
The list......
Marysville, OH
East Liberty, OH
Greensburg, IN
Lincoln, AL
The other North American plant is in Ontario, CAN
Toyota has plants in MS, TX, KY, IN(2), WV,
The fact that really pisses off you people is that the union thugs can't get their grubby paws on them.

 

[thereisnospoon]

That makes no sense... people are so bad off they need public assistance and you claim public assistance kept them from being poor?
More evidence left wingers are dumber than a sack of rocks.

" I was actually opposed to it before I voted for it"....Quotes such as that have to make one believe left wingers are either very stupid. Or very cunning.
Here we have a poster who insists that public assistance is creating prosperity( relatively speaking) among the poor.
Then we have this poster crediting Obama with the creation of 12 million new jobs. Then finally said poster insists the evil corporations are screwing..wait for it......The middle class.
A group with which the poor are not related.
This shit is unreal...
But all it takes is one or two talking heads at CNN or MSNBC to regurgitate these White House planted blurbs and the left wing loons eat it up like a bunch of ducks tearing up a loaf of bread.
