The last decline in the poverty rate was in 2000 Clinton's last year in office.</p><p>With this president the rich get richer and everyone else goes down a class.

as long as most people let themselve be divided along arbitrary line ie. RACE The rich will always get richer and the poor poorer. I tell my freinds and this the truth, Most White people have alot more in common with Blacks and Latino then you will ever have with rich white people

Fear frightens me.

<p>Actually, the US economy is doing quite well.&nbsp; Unfortunately the jobs supplied by the US Corporations operating in the black are all overseas.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p>

Yes...because the Democrats have all the answers...their way is the only way to go

blech...Once you realize BOTH parties are exactly the same, the better off you'll be. What good does an argument like "The Repblicans/Democrats are evil and the cause of all our problems blah blah blah" really do except waste everyone's time in partisan bickering that accomplishes absolutely nothing

Well if you want me to give you some yellow dicipline, sorry. I'm not into that. <br />

When you find that trolling board characters are agreeing with you it would be wise to re-evaluate your positions.<br />

<h5>what's this? scientists backing up the FACT that global warming is happening and is caused by humans.&nbsp; and just because global warming is happening doesn't mean the sky is falling and were all doomed.&nbsp; it means we need to research what's likely to happen and what we can do slow this process down.&nbsp; </h5><h5>from the epa's website: <a href="http://yosemite.epa.gov/oar/globalwarming.nsf/content/climateuncertainties.html">http://yosemite.epa.gov/oar/globalwarming.nsf/content/climateuncertainties.html</a></h5><h5>What's Known for Certain?</h5><p><font face="Arial">Scientists know for certain that human activities are changing the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Increasing levels of greenhouse gases, like carbon dioxide (CO</font><span class="epaLtSans">2</span><font face="Arial"> ), in the atmosphere since pre-industrial times have been well documented.
