When President Bush was in office at one point the unemployment rate got as low as 4 ½ %. The stock market surpassed 10, 000, 11,000, 13, 000 and finally 14,000 marks, all under the Bush presidency thanks to his tax cuts.
You may not have notice any of these things because the step-n-fetch it media would always find that homeless family living under a bridge, or in their car, or in a park right across the city square all across America,
Even though the country had virtually full employment, NBC had no problem, usually on a Friday, reporting from Soup Kitchens in inner cities showing usually Black faces waiting on line for their food.
Fast forward to President Obama’s 10% unemployment economy and the homeless have disappeared from NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, the Washington Post and the New York Times.
However, on my way to work in New York City, a white guy in his mid 50s was begging for money on the subway. When I got off the subway, I had to step over a homeless woman. Before walking into McDonald’s for breakfast, a homeless guy opened the door holding a cup and wearing a dirty T-shirt that read, “I voted for Obama and I’m still here!”
I see more homeless now under Obama than I ever saw under Bush.
And still the media spends their time shilling for the president by saying all is well. Don’t pay attention to the parade of homeless you see on the streets.
You eyes are deceiving you because if it’s not reported in the New York Times, then there’s nothing to report.
Tell that to the guy with the cup!
