Poverty in America

Poverty in America

I recently watched the movie “Waiting for Superman” documentary and highly recommend it. Especially in these tough times where we see unions protesting about losing benefits and fighting for teacher rights. I grew up in the American public school system and my personal experience is that most teachers suck and they are simply there for a paycheck. Yes, there are exceptions where teachers do teach well and motivate the kids, but they are very few in number. I was an A student and finished near the top of my class at 8 out of 400+ kids.

I went on to college and earned two degrees and honestly, most of the university professors were awful too. I took classes at the community college, state university and a private university so this is not limited to just one school. It seems most teachers are there for a paycheck. How do you fix it? Watch that movie and I think once you identify the problem you will see the solution.

As far as the economy getting better, it  is not. How do I know? You simply look around the area you live in. There are still more foreclosures and more people becoming unemployed. Forget about that unemployment number they release because it is not real. They exclude people just to make it look better for the elections. A more accurate measurement is the BLS U6 numbers.

This video below demonstrates the reality we live in.  This is true poverty in America aka the Bush Obama Depression. Watch the video and tell me if you can argue it differently.
