Washington — Sen. Rand Paul, R. Ky., (click here) was wrong in claiming that more than half the people receiving government disability checks “are either anxious or their back hurts,” according to the fact-checking web site Politifact.
Paul made the assertion in New Hampshire this week as he laid the groundwork for a 2016 run for president. He was talking about people “gaming the system” to get government benefits....
And Rand Paul can go back to Kentucky and stay there. Kentucky needs a new Senator and a new physician. He has a gun toting philosophy without regard to the health problems they cause this country.
I fully expect Jeb Bush's affiliations before he resigned from them to donate plenty of money to his campaign. Cronies. He is an excellent example of how a candidate gains monies into his or her war coffers.
Jeb Bush left the governorship in Florida and entered the private finance industry in a very big way. He carried out whatever power leveraging he could while serving on boards or otherwise and now plans a run for President. His affiliations with these private capital and offshore companies was beneficial while he was a member of their institution, just imagine what he can do as President.
Defeating Jeb Bush really isn't all that difficult. He is defining himself as someone who can lift all boats. His history of doing so is abysmal. His primary focus is children and bringing them up the 'right' way. See, the systems fails because Democrats believe in teacher unions. Teacher unions are the failure of every child in the USA. Amazing. Of course, poverty, racism and abusive capitalism has absolutely nothing to do with it.
The Kaiser Family Foundation (click here) established percentages of populations in USA states experiencing poverty. Florida is ranked 18th highest in the country. Of the seventeen states with higher poverty rates than Florida, 12 are Red States. Of that twelve, ten are below the Mason-Dixon Line.
Florida has a history of receiving dollar per dollar monies in federal subsidies. That means for every dollar paid in federal taxes by Florida residents, the state receives that dollar back again.
Florida Poverty Rates: Children ages 0 - 18 20%
Adults ages 19 - 64 14%
Adults of age 65 and greater 11%
Those percentages didn't happen overnight. They were achieved because of policy. Twenty percent of Florida's children live in poverty and Jeb Bush points to the education system and teacher unions as the failure of the public schools. I don't think so.
The fact the highest levels of poverty are dominated by southern Red States is not by chance either, it is by policy. The southern states have a sincere cultural problem that keeps the people entrenched in poverty. The statistics, if the political culture was basically the same in the country, would be far more random. The FACT the southern states dominate in poverty statistics is very telling of the abuse of power within them.
So, if Jeb Bush can only get the children educated the right way there would not be a problem with poverty anymore. Yet, Pell Grants are evil. Right.
And only if the USA would eliminate student loans it would clear up the housing market problems. You're joking right? Eliminating student loans means many, many Americans would not have a foothold on a good paying job. I always thought it was good paying jobs that permitted the American Dream of home ownership.
