I will use this title piece to give my readers some things to ponder from time to time.
1. Ex President Jimmy Carter will be the Keynote speaker st the next HAMAS fund raiser. Figure that one out!
2. President Obama has appointed A Rev. Al Sharpton to be his emissary to the people of Ferguson where the riots over a Police Officer's shooting occurred. I sure we all can agree good ol Al will rally all to peaceful community participation. I'm sure you agree, right?
3. A little statistic exercise: Every day I hear from the Administration that the economy is diong quite well, jobs being added, new housing, lower unemployment, etc. Well, one would hope so after the last 6 years. Here are some interesting facts about food stams or, SNAP as it is now called since 2008 when our current President took office:
2008 food stamp program = 32 million people received 35 billion dollars in benefits
2014 food stamp program = 48 million people received 76 billion dollars in benefits
That is a 50% increase over Obama's 6 years. But no worries, the economy is doing OK.
By the way, who gets the benefits?
37% White
25% Black
9% Hispanic
Thought it was minorities didn't you?
