Obama and the brainless Democrats have not been good for America. Not one bit!
In fact, the financial situation of most Americans has gotten much, much worse thanks to Obama’s greed and socialist policies, and now 1 in 5 Americans are on government welfare, and much deeper in poverty.
Obama & Democrat’s Failed Policies Have Pushed 1 in 5 Americans Into Poverty & Welfare
Despite the blind and brainless support of Democrats for the past decades, Obama and the Democrats have not made the plight of the Black population any better, and has actually made things worse for Black people.
While Obama and his family take multi-million dollar vacations every month, wasting more money in a week than 100 Black families will collectively earn in a lifetime, the rest of the Black population is hurting, and many Blacks are stuck on welfare and taking food stamps. Obama doesn’t care though, as long as the Black population continues being tricked and brainwashed into voting for Democrats.
Lets look at things like the and the and see if Obama and the Democrats in power have been good for Black people. (Spoiler Alert: Obama is the enemy of Blacks)
Unemployment: The average Black unemployment under President Bush was 10 percent. The average under President Obama after six years is 14 percent. Black unemployment, “has always been double” [that of Whites] but it hasn’t always been 14 percent. The administration was silent when Black unemployment hit 16 percent – a 27-year high – in late 2011.
Poverty: The percentage of Blacks in poverty in 2009 was 25 percent; it is now 27 percent. The issue of poverty is rarely mentioned by the president or any members of his cabinet. Currently, more than 45 million people – 1 in 7 Americans – live below the poverty line.
Food Stamps: America’s population of food-stamp recipients soared overall from 32,889,000 in 2009 to 46,022,000 in 2012, the latest Agriculture Department statistics show. For blacks, the analogous numbers are 7,393,000 when Obama arrived to 10,955,000 in 2012.
The Black/White Wealth Gap: The wealth gap between Blacks and Whites in America is at a 24-year high. A December study by PEW Research Center revealed the average White household is worth $141,900, and the average Black household is worth $11,000. From 2010 to 2013, the median income for Black households plunged 9 percent.
Income inequality: “Between 2009 and 2012 the top one percent of Americans enjoyed 95 percent of all income gains, according to research from U.C. Berkeley,” reported The Atlantic. It was the worst since 1928. As income inequality has widened during President Obama’s time in office, the president has endorsed tax policy that has widened inequality, such as the Bush Tax cuts.
Education: Currently, 42 percent of Black children attend high poverty schools, compared to only 6 percent of White students. The Department of Education’s change to Parent PLUS loans requirements cost HBCU’s more than $150 million and interrupted the educations of 28,000-plus HBCU students.
Obama and the racist Democrats hate Blacks, and it shows.
One in five Americans participates in government assistance programs each month, according to the most recent data released by the U.S. Census Bureau.
“Approximately 52.2 million (or 21.3 percent) people in the U.S. participated in major means-tested government assistance programs each month in 2012,” according to the Census Bureau’s report.
Means-tested programs include Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), otherwise known as food stamps, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), and General Assistance (GA).
The number of beneficiaries of these means-tested programs has increased significantly over the last decade. According to the Census, in 2004 there were nearly 42 million monthly recipients of these programs. Between that year and 2012, monthly participation increased by 24.9 percent.
Thank Obama for American’s Poverty & Welfare
In order to qualify for benefits from a means-tested program, an individual or family’s income must fall below a specified threshold.
“Participation rates were highest for Medicaid (15.3 percent) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, formerly known as the food stamp program (13.4 percent),” the report said. Participation rates were lowest for housing assistance (4.2 percent), Supplemental Security Income (3.0 percent) and TANF, which includes general assistance (1.0 percent).
The Census collects this data by observing the number of months when individuals received benefits from one or more programs and measuring their entry and exit activity.
“Participation in government programs is dynamic,” said Shelley Irving, an analyst with the Census Bureau’s Social, Economic and Housing Statistics Division. “The Survey of Income and Program Participation shows how individuals move in and out of government programs and how long they participate in them.”
Most beneficiaries of these programs are dependent on them for up to four years. “The largest share of participants (43.0 percent) in any of the public assistance programs stayed in the programs between 37 and 48 months,” according to the Census. “Additionally 31.2 percent of people participated between one and 12 months between January 2009 and December 2012.”
