The majority of the economic growth since the recession has benefitted the wealthy. In general people earn less money than in 2008, adjusted for inflation. Misissippi is still the poorest state. Mississippi still has the highest rate of childhood and adult obesity. The good news is, that in America, the poorest people are the most overweight. More people than ever on government assistance. Highest percentage of people on food stamps in history. Lowest workforce participation since 1977. Unemployment rate only as low as 7.5% because 1/3 of eligible workers have abandoned looking for work. and no longer can collect unemployment.

What we really need is a government shut down.

Yanno - If your POV wasn't overflowing with a message of hate - you might find a few more eyes willing to read & consider your arguments.

I have 2 OT questions please.

1) Have you ever heard of Hypnosis Therapy?

2) How many Guns do you really own?

BTTQ = (& I'm smh while I type this Q coz I'm sure already know your answer but I'm gonna ask it anyway just so you will post the answer for confirmation)

Why is it "good news the poorest are the most overweight"?

[Penny Lane 8,159]

The map must be wrong. How come the states in the bible belt are amongst the poorest? Aren't they praying enough, perhaps?

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

I must be doing it wrong. I voted for him too as did my state but there's no free shyt to be had here. Damn Republicans running the state take it all away. Bastards!

[RGinWA 816]

Wait! You mean that the GOP has been lying? And to top it off they've been voting against their best interest?

Whoa dude.

Hahaha....

Studies like this would be much more meaningful if they controlled for cost of living.

If you don't get your free shyt soon, you should call your senator or congressman and find out why it hasn't come yet. I'm on my 3rd Obama phone, I keep leaving them places and forget where I put them, but who cares, they're free! I just send out for another free one. Couple days later BOOM new phone! We got so much free shyt up here, I'd be glad to send you some. It's the least I could do for a fellow Obama supporter.

This is dead on.
