Ok, once again for the ones either no reading or have refused to acknowledge facts:
Job aged Americans not in work force in 2008= 80.5 million
Job aged Americans not in work force today = 95+ million
Do you want to go over how many people are at poverty level?
Do you want to go over how many are food stamp recipients?
Do you want to go over how many do NOT have health insurance?
DO YOU WANT TO GO OVER HOW LONG IT HAS BEEN SINCE WE LAST HAD A YEARLY AVERAGE GDP GROWTH OF 3%?
Only in your dream of an Obama socialist Utopia can there be a great economy in the present. And in spite of all that Obama has done to stymie business growth, the private sector has kept our country from total bankruptcy.
Economic growth is measured by our GDP growth rate. Anything below 3% is not good.

EVERY number the government puts out is suspect. Look at how they keep changing the CPI, consumer price index, the thing they use to justify giving you a SS or pension raise or not. They've dropped the standards there too. Hamburger and hotdogs instead of steak. And they leave out energy.

We're in a depression kept at bay with public housing, section 8, 50 million on food stamps, and "free" healthcare for that many and more. This costs a $ trillion a year.
The nation can't afford the drain these poor put on the economy. The minorities...the poor...will be the majority...THIS is what is keeping GDP down, the drag caused by so many poor.
The GDP doesn't grow because the white productive population is aging and shrinking...while the minority population grows. Soon America will have the same statistics as Mexico. We'll be 3rd world too.
It's inevitable, as the Hispanic population grows, the country becomes more like a Hispanic country. It's the PEOPLE who make a place what it is. The villages is the villages BECAUSE it's 99% white. Ghettos are ghettos because of the PEOPLE who live there. Europe is nice because it's white...Africa isn't because it isn't white.
We're bankrupt all right...we owe $20 trillion and we're over a $ trillion more in the hole each year.
