Americans Getting Poorer

[picolo]

Poorer is just to specific. Maybe life is much harder today for Americans. But poorer? Naah..

So when people don't have jobs and have kids that go to school dirty and hungry you call that lower middle class?  What will you call it when things get even worse?  You will only accept it is poverty when people don't have access to water?  Don't you see how illogical it is to say your not poor because you live in a rich country?  If my neighbor has a million dollars in the bank and I live in a cardboard box am I well off because I don't live in a poor third world country or am I just a few steps ahead of the worst on people on the planet?

The industrial revolution got most people out of poverty then people wanted a feeling of security and sociopaths wanted to control people so the wealther state grew and the rate of people going out of poverty declined then went to zero and now it is increasing again

How can you be poor when youre richer than most of the world? just be happy you live in a westren country with a minimum wage.

[centauribit]

technically true, but the deficit is falling fast, is projected to fall much farther and GDP is growing pretty well relative to the rest of the rich world. mainstream economists agree that there is no short term debt problem and we likely wont have one until the end of the 2020

So when people don't have jobs and have kids that go to school dirty and hungry you call that lower middle class?  What will you call it when things get even worse?  You will only accept it is poverty when people don't have access to water?  Don't you see how illogical it is to say your not poor because you live in a rich country?  If my neighbor has a million dollars in the bank and I live in a cardboard box am I well off because I don't live in a poor third world country or am I just a few steps ahead of the worst on people on the planet?

Whose fault is it that they don't have jobs? Whose fault is it that they have kids (if the do have kids then they are likely enrolled in many social programs)?

The standard of living for people in poverty in the US is much higher for even the wealthy in many other countries. A house that is considered to be a middle class home in the US is likely to be considered a mansion in many third world countries.

Inflation is stealing your wealth. Banks take away your money while you sleep simply by printing more.

That problem can be solved by using Bitcoin!

Inflation don't solve the problem, it creates more problems

If salaries don't go up and you have inflation people are getting poorer

Bitcoin has its own problem to solve

Bitcoin is divisible up to eight significant digits
This ensures you don't lose money getting short changed, and since there can only be 21 million Bitcoins, I doubt there will be inflation because of Bitcoin.

46,496,145: Food Stamp Recipients Can Fill Yankee Stadium 925 Times

In June 2014, there were 46,496,145 recipients of the food stamp program, which is enough to fill the Yankee Stadium 925 times, according to data from the Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The Yankee Stadium is equipped to hold 50,291 persons, meaning that the 46,496,145 Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) recipients in June 2014 could fill the stadium 925 times.  The number of recipients was up 270,999 since the previous month in May 2014 when there were 46,225,146 individuals participating in the program.

Similarly, the number of households participating in the SNAP program has increased as well from the 22,590,393 participating in May 2014 to the 22,713,934 participating in June 2014, an increase of 123,541 households.

And, that^ jump happened in just a month.

There are a lot of bitcoin hopefuls out here. Still, without you working, you will not succeed. Lazy people becomes poor, hardworking will succeed. If a hardworking person doesnt succeed then bad luck is embracing him.

Correct but gold miners in Africa are less poor than non gold miners and that it why they chose to mine for a few years then start a small business with the savings they accumulated

The number of poor people is going up in the states while the state is growing bigger; the % of people suffering from hunger is going down in the rest of the world

Most of the people in africa that mine do so because they are forced to do so as what are essentially slaves in order to fund wars in africia. This is especially true with diamond mines (I am not sure about how many gold mines there are in africia).

^^ That guy knows what he's talking about

Wage slavery is still slavery, if you're born into debt and you die in debt, make just enough to live, you are a slave to work.

Exactly, the only thing that changed is the slavery method.
That what ure describing there is todays modern slavery, instead of food, you get just enough money to buy food, and thats it.
Im not saying it like that for everyone, but alot of ppl are accefted like that.

You have to wonder, is it really moral to capitalize on that which should be a man's basic right, the right to food, clothing, education, shelter, water, and healthcare?

It's funny how it works, once upon a time, bankers would send men to come over and steal your shit, now they just sit there and print the shit out of your currency.

I believe in Bitcoin, I believe in the American dream, and I believe Bitcoin will save America.
