Just got to thinking Teddy's recent absense on this thread is deafening! Perhaps he's on vacation?
Quit picking on Obama……

How can anyone argue with your position that it is good that there are so many people relying on food stamps to survive?
Oh, that's right, you believe that the mills, factories and prisons will employ all of those unfortunates that can't live without food stamps, even tough there is record unemployment in the nation.... Let's add to that the notion that Federal taxes are unnecessary in your eyes.
Question: Do you have any clue at all regarding how the Federal food stamp program is funded?... I know, it's a tough question so lemme help ya out here... It's paid for through taxes.
Are ya picking-up what I'm putting down here yet?
I never said taxes were bad, I did say there are better alternatives to income tax. How do you think the U.S. economy compares with the rest of the world? Top 50%, Top 20%, Top 10%?
Top half for sure, possibly top 25%. Top 25% if you are counting people and probably close to that if you are counting countries. If you asked 10 opinions you'd probably get 10 different ways of counting!
Seems a mite odd. Sounded for a second there like you were putting down those jobs. Perhaps I misinterpreted.
I'm doing fine.
How likely are those jobs going to generate a sustainable lifestyle come time to retire?
Not very. Which is true of many entry-level jobs. That's why they're called entry-level jobs.
Maybe take a look at where the growth is in terms of what sectors... I think that you might find that there is an inordinate amount of growth in the service sector in addition to more part-time jobs (thanks to Obamacare).
The bottom line is that these are not the sectors that grow an economy nor do they generate enough income to enable the workforce to live adequately or plan for an independent retirement
Yes, I'm quite concerned about the time-travel portion of Obamacare, which is responsible for the fact that part-time jobs have been growing since 1970.
But before you continue on this track, you might wanna know that I opposed the PPACA. Still do. Health care should be a state matter.
What grows an economy is the middle class. The larger the better.
Agreed... Now, how many first world economies are founded on a middle class that works in fast food joints?
None that I know of. I assume there's a point you're working toward?
I do hope it's something a little more complex and nuanced than "Obama BAD!"
