homelessness up 9% this year

Quote from zdreg:

what is the big deal? these new homeless will soon be under the obama wing. seriously a 9% increase is nothing except for those who are newly homeless.

Lots of those "don't want to DO anything" about their plight... it's so much easier to just align themselves with politicos who will give them money in exchange for their vote.

America. What a country!

From Krugman's blog, govt workers as a share of the population. And guess which states have the highest percentage of govt workers per state population?

Right, Obama is hiring more and more govt workers. And tax cuts for the wealthy create job, lol.

Quote from Scataphagos:

That's how it's always been, always will be, and is SUPPOSED to be... in America.

"Compounding returns on capital"... of which the poor have none.

Want to change that? Put the poor to work. How? Promote a tax and regulatory environment which favors hiring them.

But Odumbo will have none of that.... (See Warren G. Harding's Administration)... it's the ONLY plan which has a chance to work.

Otherwise, it's all just one big circle jerk... with no "happy ending"..

We agree on this
 
Quote from Scataphagos:

It's still true in America... "Do the right thing... and enough of it... and you can become wealthy..." Not withstanding the tax and regulatory burden... at least the government doesn't SPECIFICALLY prevent people from becoming successful... if they can.

As far as the "Odumbo Regime"... he really is anti-business. He doesn't want people employed in the private sector. He'd rather they become government tit-suckers so that the Federal Government "controls their check"... their "living"... that way Government check recipients will vote whichever way the Regime tells them to.

His spew... "I'm all about jobs", "this administration's #1 priority is jobs"... all just more lies in his LONNNNNG list of lies.

I think this is off base. Let's admit that in the least, it is easier and faster to create government jobs than it is to fix the ills of business in the private sector. In the current environment I'll support jobs created in any which way, including government jobs....even though in principle I do not like 'big government'.

Put the poor to work? Many of the poor are working and not making ends meet. It is hard to keep a simple efficiency apartment on minimum wage.

Why do you think that is? Government "enslavement" policies? Keep the poor, poor so that they are dependent upon their living from the government?

The ONLY chance America has economically is to unleash capitalism and make America a dynamo once again... like China is today. Other than that, America has no hope.

The poor, unemployed, minimum wage earners... that will be their life... FOREVER... without radical government change. And by that, I mean EVERYTHING OPPOSITE FROM ODUMBO-NAMICS. (Warren G. Harding had the answer. We're in desperate need of exactly the same today.)
 
Wow! I had no idea the test scores were that poor. I took the ASVAB my senior year in high school and flew through the test. The hardest section was Advanced Algebra and that was a breeze. The hardest thing I found about taking the test was to get the recruiters to stop calling me :mad:

Sample Test:

Quote from Scataphagos:

We have a lot of poor in the US. Not to say anyone "deserves it", but much is of their own making.

In Dec 22, Denver Post...

"High School Grads Fail Army Exam"...

1. 75% of applicants, age 17-24, don't qualify to take the test because they are physically unfit, have a criminal record, or failed to graduate from HS.

2. Nearly 1/4 of recent HS grads who try to join the Army fail the entrance exam. (Recruits must score at least 31 out of 99 on the test of basic math, science, and reading to be eligible to enlist in the Army. The Marines, Air Force, Navy and Coast Guard require higher scores... only 31% right to "pass"?)

So... these people are supposed to be "rich" or "middle class"? Just because they were born in America?
