California Has the Highest Poverty Rate in America. Why?

Posted on by

“So how is it that California, which has spent nearly $1 trillion on antipoverty programs, has the highest poverty rate in the nation? It turns out that state and local bureaucrats who administer California’s antipoverty programs have proven stubbornly resistant to pro-work reforms that have been effective at spurring individuals to pull themselves out of poverty.”

This is a gift. Keep it closed.

“The last time the government shut down in October 2013, the US economy posted its highest quarterly GDP growth in years.  And when the economy shut down TWICE in the fourth quarter of 1995, the US economy posted a whopping 7.2% growth rate in the following quarter.  The evidence is pretty clear– the longer these politicians bicker and argue, the better off everyone else will be.  Here’s to hoping they keep their doors closed for a very, very long time.”

Alfred McCoy: Tweeting While Rome Burns

Posted on by

“In just one extraordinary year, Trump has destabilized the delicate duality that has long been the foundation for U.S. foreign policy: favoring war over diplomacy, the Pentagon over the State Department, and narrow national interest over international leadership. But in a globalizing world interconnected by trade, the Internet, and the rapid proliferation of nuclear-armed missiles, walls won’t work. There can be no Fortress America.”

Health Care Just Became the U.S.’s Largest Employer

Posted on by

“Recently, the growth in health-care employment is stemming more from administrative jobs than physician jobs. The number of non-doctor workers in the health industry has exploded in the last two decades. The majority of these jobs aren’t clinical roles, like registered nurses. They are mostly administrative and management jobs, including receptionists and office clerks. It’s not always clear that these workers improve health outcomes for patients.”

America’s Biggest Problem is Government, Say Most Americans Since Nixon Era

Posted on by

“23 percent of Americans say that the government is America’s biggest problem.  ‘That’s about exactly what is was before Nixon resigned,’ Jones said, referring to the Watergate era.  One might be tempted to view this result as solely caused by disgust with President Donald Trump or his policies. But that’s not really the case, or not entirely. The commentators point out that the poll is similar to findings from 2014-2015 when Barack Obama was president.”
