House Budget Committee to Hold Hearing on Poverty.

[jwirr]

2. STuck at 15%. I have posted before what I have seen happen throughout the lives of my children.

When they were born we needed more ...... Then they reached kindergarten and we needed more schools .... Then they reached junior high and we built more middle schools and hired more teachers. Then more high schools and more teachers .... Then came college and we again built and hired more teachers ..... Then came the need for more jobs .... and then more joblessness .... and with the outsourcing of the good jobs and retirement comes more poverty.

The real problem with the 15% is that we are not doing anything about it this time. We refuse to raise the minimum wage. We continue to outsource jobs and encourage businesses to do so. We expect austerity to cure the problem and we think the poverty is the fault of the poor.

Ryan is an ass and a one book scholar. I hope his visit to the black caucus puts him in his place.
