America, land of the poor

news.yahoo.com...

WASHINGTON – The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama's watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.

Census figures for 2009 — the recession-ravaged first year of the Democrat's presidency — are to be released in the coming week, and demographers expect grim findings.

It's unfortunate timing for Obama and his party just seven weeks before important elections when control of Congress is at stake. The anticipated poverty rate increase — from 13.2 percent to about 15 percent — would be another blow to Democrats struggling to persuade voters to keep them in power.

I saw this article on yahoo a few minutes ago. This is scary! The amount of people living in poverty in the United States has grown to the highest levels since the 1960's. I have been hearing about the Cloward-Piven strategy and it looks like it is working like a charm. Are we headed towards a complete collapse?

Cloward-Piven is a strategy for forcing political change through orchestrated crisis.
The strategy was first proposed in 1966 by Columbia University political scientists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven as a plan to bankrupt the welfare system and produce radical change. Sometimes known as the "crisis strategy" or the the "flood-the-rolls, bankrupt-the-cities strategy," the Cloward-Piven approach called for swamping the welfare rolls with new applicants - more than the system could bear. It was hoped that the resulting economic collapse would lead to political turmoil and ultimately socialism.
The National Welfare Rights Organization (NWRO), founded by African-American militant George Alvin Wiley, put the Cloward-Piven strategy to work in the streets. Its activities led directly to the welfare crisis that bankrupted New York City in 1975.
Veterans of NWRO went on to found the Living Wage Movement and the Voting Rights Movement, both of which rely on the Cloward-Piven strategy and both of which are spear-headed by the radical cult ACORN.
Both the Living Wage and Voting Rights movements depend heavily on financial support from George Soros's Open Society Institute.

The number of Americans receiving food stamps reached 39.68 million in February 2010, the highest number since the program began in 1962.[4] As of June 2009, the average monthly benefit was $133.12 per person.[5] As of late November 2009, one in eight Americans and one in four children[6] are using food stamps and the program rate is growing at 20,000 people a day.[7] Recipients must have at least near-poverty incomes to qualify for benefits.[8]

Food stamps have since hit 41 million in just a few months.

Even though it is harder to qualify for bankruptcy due to the new laws
we just set a new record for the past 5 years period.

A worse year than the dismal 2009 season.

What recovery ???

The job numbers are manipulated as we have seen in the news so
reporting them is somewhat dubious.

But we can analyze some of their manipulations and see where
they are obviously fudging it.

That puts a more fair estimate when considering the U6 rate at 21.5% unemployment.

Some areas are fairing a LOT worse, like Detroit at close to 50%.

i think the constant blaming of all our countries problems on the left by the media is just another trick to get us to put all republicans into every office once again, and it is probably going to work. people need to realize that these politicians all work for the same people and after they sit around and argue on cspan they probably go to the same five star hotel to count money together and cheat on their wives and drink high end liquor all night long on the tax payers tab.

Thanks for the links I think a thread on the real unemployment numbers would be a good one. I am sick of the lies and the liars telling them on both sides of the isle. The middle class is vanishing. Look at history and you will see a pattern for when this happens.

A few videos for you to consider.

America's Destruction To 3rd World

US becoming a Third World country?

Snippet

The United States is on the brink of sliding down to a Third World country, as it struggles with massive debts, rising unemployment and a deteriorating economy. Some of the warning signs that indicate America's fantastic fall from a First World nation include rising unemployment and poverty. According to Spiegel Online, the United States is recently faced with a new phenomenon called "the new poor." In Ventura California -- a luxurious resort city -- about 20 percent of the residents are at risk of homelessness. The once-rich, who have lost their homes, are now forced to sleep in their expensive cars parked in the city's corners, Captain William Finley, the head of the local branch of the Salvation Army said. He further added that during the past months, the number of people taking advantage of the organization's free meals program, has doubled. Many drive up in their BMWs to receive free food, he went on to say. Another signal that marks the demise of America's so-called greatness is the disappearance of the middle class.
