From: http://cnsnews.com/ "Census on Obamaâs 1st Term: Real Median Income Down $2,627; People in Poverty Up 6,667,000; Record 46,496,000 Now Poor" "23,116,928 to 20,618,000: Households on Food Stamps Now Outnumber All Households in Northeast U.S." "CBO Sees Increasing 'Risk of a Fiscal Crisis' " "$1.29 Billion in Disability Checks Sent to 36,000 Workers Still on the Job" "Longest Streak Ever for $3-Plus Gas" Just a sample. The news that MSM refuses to print is available (though I'll concede they might have reported a few of these). Full stories are available at the link above. Also, many appear at: http://www.newsmax.com/ I began to use these sites because as a news consumer, I'm sick of not hearing any news that is critical of anything our current too big to fail prez has had anything to do with. I'm sick of hearing about how his flops are hidden genius. I'm sick of the slobbering man love crushes that Mathews, Schultz, and others continue to demonstrate. I'm sick of frantic, un-vetted stories going on air because they fit an agenda most Americans don't agree with. And so on... Also, I recently read that over a dozen MSM "journalists" (cough, cough) have gone to work for this admin. I wonder how many came from FOX. I don't mind hearing the good deeds done by this admin, but the silence on everything else is deafening. The scandals, for example. Where did they go? There is now a move in the senate to describe what a journalist is. More red flags. We either want a media that protects us from the excesses of gov, or we don't. I'm sure if Dianne gun grabber gets her way, these two organizations I linked, and others like them, could be gone. " Matt Drudge: Dianne Feinstein a 'fascist' over amendment defining 'journalist' " http://www.examiner.com/article/mat...-a-fascist-over-amendment-defining-journalist This is a back door attempt to shut down the critics of politicians who blog news because MSM won't do it. That makes them the real journalists in my book.
September 17, 2013: 3:33 PM ET NEW YORK (CNNMoney) Years after the Great Recession ended, 46.5 million Americans are still living in poverty, according to a Census Bureau report released Tuesday. Income has tumbled since the recession hit, and is still 8.3% below where it was in 2007. "We've had [economic] growth, but it hasn't really reached everyday Americans," said Elise Gould, an economist at the left-leaning Economic Policy Institute. "It's a lost decade, maybe more." http://money.cnn.com/2013/09/17/news/economy/poverty-income/index.html?hpt=hp_t2 Obamaworld.
No it's not, Ricter. It's someone pointing out the increasing disparity of wealth between the haves and have-nots (which are becoming more and more). Once again, in your reflexive attempt to defend "your team" at any cost, you are purposely papering over the issue between the rich and the "not rich".
There is SUPPOSED to be "increasing disparity of wealth"... that's what should motivate the have-nots to become haves. It's the American Way.
