There you have it folks, straight from the top puppet's mouth: openly admitting that Washington politics are not about hard work, supporting families, or building strong local communities.
Obama chatters endlessly about his alleged desire to support small businesses, build a strong middle class, and create jobs that pay a living wage. That's funny because on his watch the wealthiest 7% of Americans have gained a whopping $5.6 trillion in net worth (assets minus liabilities) while the other 93% of Americans lost $669 billion. Their wealth went up by 28% while ours went down by 4 percent.
While the Banksters print themselves $85 billion per month indefinitely to inflate the market, fund corruption, and line their pockets, more than 2/3rds of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck. This figure obviously excludes people who don't have jobs and no longer qualify for meager unemployment benefits.
If Obama was serious about helping Americans transcend poverty, a practical solution would be quite simple. If that $85 billion per month were distributed to or invested in the people instead of being used to prop up the banking cartel and financial casino, it would juice the national economy to the tune of ~1% monthly. $85 billion is enough money to gift 300 million Americans $283 monthly. Obviously increasing Americans spending power by that much every month would increase spending, boost earnings, create jobs, raise standards of living, and ease the collective stress of widespread poverty.
Instead, that $85 billion is gifted to the already obscenely wealthy every month... like the $19 TRILLION in backdoor bailouts that were distributed to banks around the world in the wake of 2008.
The bigger question is: Why does Obama shake his head around so much while reading his lines off of a teleprompter? Is it merely a flourish to get people's attention? Does he have Tourette's Syndrome? Or is he just nervous about all the lies he's told and corruption he has overseen finally coming to light? You decide...
