Your hate of Obama clouds your understanding and reasoning. The situation existed long before Obama took office and will exist long after he is gone. His policies has NOTHING to do with Walmart and trend of companies to trim their labor cost to the bone so they can max out profits.

East Texas Rig Hand (and other Teawipe Fools), please tell us why the 200+ gerrymandered Republican members of the US House of Representatives have yet to do anything about jobs other than to pass cultural "anti- " laws restricting personal freedoms, harp on The Affordable Care Act (which hasn't even gone into effect as of now), give free passes to Big Finance and other huge corporations - especially when it comes to going offshore for tax breaks while still enjoying their status as "American" entities?

Many, many jobs out there are low wage. See the Wal-Mart articles that are linked above. Note that Dollar General, McDonalds and a couple of others are mentioned as well. Those jobs have historically been for second earners in families, young workers entering the workforce, and the relatively uneducated. It's simple math, $8/hr jobs aren't enough to live on. But, the goal for corporate America is to pay everyone $8/hr in order to cut "costs."

The scary question is what if this country reaches an economic
state where such programs cannot be maintained?

Are we just a book of food stamps away from being a third world country?

What would the new program be?
Marshal Law and a loaf of bread?

You spend your time constructing living quarters
and you've dug a hole instead of building a house,
then the hole has to be maintained.

Can get awful sloshy during the rainy season though.

Yep, you guys are right...the 2+ million employees of WalMart would be better off if the company quit making money and went under. What are they thinking?? It would be so much easier for them to stay on the front porch of their subsidized housing, making calls on their Obamaphones, shopping with their food stamps, getting medicine for their snotty noses for free with Obamacare, and, of course, all the while driving their late model cars, watching their big screen TV's, and maybe even collecting disability. How stupid that they would even try to earn something for themselves with their own efforts and the sweat of their own brow. But wait, it's not just the employees of WalMart that are stupid. It has to include the millions of people who shop there everyday for the value they receive, and then the thousands of downstream vendors who rely on WalMart for their livelihoods. What dupes.

And then there are the 300,000 employees of GE, which makes some pretty tidy profits, as well...while not paying any taxes. What idiots those employees are!!

And let's not forget those nasty oil companies. Hopefully they will all fold up as well, so we can all strap solar panels to the top of our cars to power them.

You are exactly right, CandyAss. Most of those jobs have never been intended for a head-of-household or single earner situation. Maybe the fact that there are 9 million fewer jobs since O'Blunder took office and only 47% of Americans have full-time jobs has a little to do with folks having to settle for these jobs.

Average unemployment for Bush's eight year presidency was 5.3%. O'Blunders' five years is 8.9%?? Of course, these are based on the U3 numbers, not the more accurate reflections of the U6 number. But you don't want to hear that, I'm sure, cause the published number is bad enough for Mr. Hope and Change.

Average economic growth rate for Bush, 1.7%. O'Blunder, 1.5%. Yes, I know O'Blunder inherited the Bush recession (albeit the result of policies engineered by Democrats). But Bush inherited the Clinton Dot-Com bust, right?? (Also engineered by Democrat policies.)

Those damn facts...

No, you didn't. Mainly because taking a snapshot of the worst single month of Bush's presidency makes O'Blunder look better. An average is the only number that takes in all factors to present a more accurate long term picture of policies and governance, thus bringing to light the failure O'Blunder is.

(P.S.- O'Blunder's worst month?? 10.0%)

Rumors of America's eventual demise are greatly exaggerated.
