Pathway in the Sea

Ever see a butterfly flutter by? John 3:7-8


Psalm 77:19

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.



"The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick along side it."

-D. L. Moody

Census finds 49.1 million living in poverty

By Erik Wasson - 11/07/11 09:58 AM ET
The Census Bureau on Monday released a revised unofficial estimate of the level of poverty in the United States and found that 49.1 million people in the U.S., 16 percent of the total population, were living below the poverty level in 2010.

The figure is higher than the 46.6 million poor according to official estimates.

The alternative measurement takes more factors into account than the official measure.

The value of food stamps, school lunches, nutrition assistance, housing subsidies and heating assistance are factored in by the new measurement.

For most groups, this government assistance is more than erased by new costs that have been factored in. These include taxes, the cost of transportation to work, child care, child support payments and out-of-pocket healthcare costs.
Under the new measurements, more adults over 18 years old and seniors fall below the poverty line, while fewer children do.

Under the official estimate, the poverty line for a two-adult, two-child household in America was $22,113 in 2010. Under the new measure, the poverty line is $24,343.

The supplemental poverty measure was made in response to criticism by the National Academy of Sciences, which in 1995 called the official measure flawed.
Under the new measurement, 46.5 million people were in poverty in 2009 and 2.6 million more people became poor by 2010.
House Ways and Means Committee member Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) said in response that the report shows how valuable government assistance is in keeping people out of poverty and that more needs to be done to help the poor.
“This new poverty measure puts to rest the lie that government programs don’t make a difference to struggling Americans," he said.

Government programs don't "keep people out of poverty". They compulsorily redistribute poverty from the destructive/consumptive side of the real economy to the creative/productive side. Deficit government spending/ fiat currency infusions extend the redistribution of contemporary poverty into the creative/productive economic output of future generations of "taxpayers". That's what you do, you bastard. Spend the taxes of people who don't even exist yet, and therefore cannot even begin to inform their "representative" government of their preferences or withdraw their consent when it acts contrary to their interests. The only people more detestable than you in this soulless, predatory/parasitic macro-economic scheme are your constituent beneficiary accomplices in the electorate of the United States of America. Broken Arrow!
