One of Obama's proudest achievements. Oh, wait, I think it's his ONLY achievement other than setting the Middle East on fire.

I wonder if anyone could breakdown that 47 - percent number so SM

we could better understand who these people are on food stamps. Since I don't receive food stamps, I guess I am in the 53 percent category and I guess I should call those people lazy bums. I want a better understanding of this. Can anyone break this down a bit for me? Should I be mad like LM because I am paying for this or not?

I saw a breakdown on this earlier this evening, about 10 to 12% of the 47% are retired folks, who have worked all their lives! About 20% is indeed poor people on welfare. The rest are people who are living somehow on poverty wages, like 25 to 30,000 a year. Hey, times are hard with gas at almost $4 a gallon, electricity, food, water, all going up, except wages. We're all just trying to get by.

Elderly retired workers, children, military overseas, and - 60% are low-paid employed people.NM.

It's sure costing you a heckuva lot more than food stamps.

Everything is as important. Why don't you worry about what you post - and let others post what they want

bent on making President Obama a one-term president NO MATTER WHAT THE CONSEQUENCES, by crippling the recovery, exhibiting an open hostility toward the unemployed, fanning the flames of cultural wars and social divides and kill-pilling every single jobs initiative that comes their way. Meanwhile, they have developed an intractable advanced-stage political pathology with their obsessive tax-cuts-for-the-greed-gods myopia. They could care less and, in fact, are utterly oblivious to the destruction the leave behind them or the lives of those who will bear the burdens of their madness for generations to come.

Nothing could make this more apparent than the mindset we heard fall out of the candidate's mouth last night in one of his more revealing unguarded moments.

Like I said, what recovery? - LM

Economists: Recession ended June 09 with - gradual recovery ever since

Curiously just about the same time Obama's policies began to take root. Sorry. If you have a bone to pick about that consensus, take it up with them.

Sorry, I don't believe we are in a recovery for one minute. - LM

Not sure which economists you're referring to. Out here in Realville, those so-called economists are dead wrong.

Ditto here- record unemployment, businesses closing - wages drooping::What color is their sky/

Those pushing the talking points are mindless robots for the DNC. No recovery in any direction.

Recession may have "ended" for the top 3-5%, but - for the rest of us its only begun, & will wors

It "ended" in 2009? I dunno, tell that to my empty bank account and overdue bills. It started to come crashing down even harder in 2009, and the more free rein these corporations are given when it comes to their abuse of power and wealth, the worse it's gonna get for all of us. Someday we'll all be fighting over $5/hour housekeeping jobs at some Motel 6 somewhere.

The key is eliminating a loophole that enables states to help some low-income residents with no ...

Trump refuses Des Moines Register press credentials to his Iowa event due to prior editorial board comments.

According to an Associated Press report, the costs are a reminder that the U.S.’s struggle with unaffordable medical care is still significant. Overall, "it's historically a very moderate increase in premiums," said Drew Al ...
