UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures

[Andylusion]

Sure...and under Obama everything was wonderful.....enough libs...you are looking unhinged....

Actually for the eight years Barack was president the USA was looking good. Now it is going to hell in a handbasket.

Was that a joke? The economy has done much better in the last few years, than when Obama started off. His programs and policies did nothing useful.

No wonder so many Americans hate the UN.

Umm. What?

They don't.

Yes they do, what do they do anyway, they haven’t ever stepped in to stop a war

When Obama took office the DOW was below 8,000 and we were losing 745,000 jobs a month. He had 8 years of steady job gains and the DOW rose 11,000 points. He dealt with the second worst financial crisis this country ever experienced. Thank goodness the newly enacted financial regulations were rolled back so we can do it all over again.

So if someone disagrees with you they are not real Americans? You need to look up the word Fascist...
A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government — and no tolerance for opposing opinions.

No, they aren't real Americans because of their attitude and beliefs, not because they disagree with me. Lots of real Americans disagree with me.

You have got to be kidding...once again libs we all lived it...we saw the empty malls and restaurants...we witnessed the sluggish recovery and sat back and watched Obama explain it away as the new normal.... that the jobs are gone and not coming back....Trump sure is proving that Obama is a liar a dumbass or both....

Its not the job gains...of course that will go up..it had nowhere else to go...but the quality of job wasn't what it was before the crash...people didn't have a lot of spending money so McDonald type jobs had gains....but to argue Obama had a growing economy is silly....we were all here!

UN: US inequality reaching a dangerous level due to Trump's 'cruel' measures
Source: The Guardian

Donald Trump is deliberately forcing millions of Americans into financial ruin, cruelly depriving them of food and other basic protections while lavishing vast riches on the super-wealthy, the United Nations monitor on poverty has warned.

Philip Alston, the UN special rapporteur who acts as a watchdog on extreme poverty around the world, has issued a withering critique of the state of America today. Trump is steering the country towards a “dramatic change of direction” that is rewarding the rich and punishing the poor by blocking access even to the most meager necessities.

“This is a systematic attack on America’s welfare program that is undermining the social safety net for those who can’t cope on their own. Once you start removing any sense of government commitment, you quickly move into cruelty,” Alston told the Guardian.

Millions of Americans already struggling to make ends meet faced “ruination”, he warned. “If food stamps and access to Medicaid are removed, and housing subsidies cut, then the effect on people living on the margins will be drastic.”

Anyone that isn't rich should think twice before they ever vote republican again! I am dead serious.

You are very easily fooled by fake news.

Rest assured, Jessica123, Trump isn't going to take away your food stamps and medicaid or anything else.

Those mean people are simply trying to scare you. Don't let them manipulate your mind into a state of fear. Trump is not the bogyman.

That nonsense looks like something ScienceRocks would post. lol

Maybe he made the full transition?

 

[Tax Man]

This thread shows how ill informed the republican/conservative mind is. So much mis information has been said for so long and so loud they believe it all. I lived through the Booooosh economic depression and the recovery that Barack manifested. There should be some law that states conservative ideals are illegal and to be rejected.

For the empty skulls who would cheer this, guess which way the crime rate goes when people can't eat or feed their families. Nothing happens in a vacuum

The problem with your faulty "logic" is that EVERYBODY is better off under this booming Trump economy. That includes those at the economic bottom.

Surely you jest?! Those at the bottom are worse off because of the rising tide of staple living expenses.

Capitalism is founded on and is created for capitalists....the 1 percent....to keep making a profit. It is not created with the middle class in mind. Econ 102.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

The idea that job loss, causes crime, is ridiculous. Crime causes job loss.

Winner for that! Libs will never understand this. This is why "Palestinians" will always be poor. It's why black neighborhoods are failures.

These groups will never see success and prosperity until the CHARACTER of the group changes.

You "real Americans" would HATE George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, or Ben Franklin if they appeared today

First, the vast majority of crime is caused by people in broken families, where the parents are not taking care of their family anyway.
The father isn't even in the home, and doesn't care. The mother is on welfare and food stamps.

The idea that job loss, causes crime, is ridiculous. Crime causes job loss.

No one in American is dying in the streets. I've worked at the food pantry, and I've handed out food, and those people are not skinny.

In is a known fact, that obesity is higher among the poor.

The whole reason poor areas are so poor, is because no one is willing to invest in those areas. Why? Because of the crime.

This is why the BLM group, is the most damaging to the very people it claims to be supporting. The best way to help those poor people to get better jobs, higher paying jobs, is to have more investment in poor areas. The only way that you are going to get more investment into poor areas, is when stores don't have to worry about shoplifting, and stolen shopping carts, and businesses don't need to put up security cameras, and have rent-a-cops on patrol.

The BLM groups have done the exact opposite by fighting the police, which pull out of those areas, causing crime to go up.

Hmm yeah, always blame the victim, straight from the rapists handbook.
