1 in 10 on food stamps! I was unaware of that statistic. Interesting point on the unemployed being underreported as well as that grey zone-- people taking low paying part time jobs- now showing up as "employed", but not employed enough to make ends meet.

I figured it is really is worse than the numbers show.

It makes me all the more pissed off Bush slunked* away with his fat pension & thumbed his wealth by buying the $2 million dollar home, plus his 1600 acre ranch & 100,000 acres in Paraguay.

* I don't know if "slunked" is actually a word, kind of like slithered and skunked combined. Hey if the ex pres can make up words, so can I.

In any case, it pisses me off.

He ruined this country, and now he's flaunting his war profiteer wealth.
When does his karma kick in??????
