On Saturday, President Obama used his weekly address to highlight recent positive economic indicators as an argument for raising the minimum wage and increasing spending on roads, infrastructure, and job training.
The president said, “Over the past 52 months, our businesses have created nearly 10 million new jobs. The unemployment rate has fallen to its lowest point since 2008.” He added, “In fact, for the first time in over a decade, business leaders worldwide have declared that China is no longer the world’s best place to invest – America is.”
“Our economy grows best not from the top-down, but from the middle-out. We do better when the middle class does better,” he continued. “So we have to make sure that we’re not just creating more jobs, but raising middle-class wages and incomes. We have to make sure our economy works for every works for every American.”
Yet, more on welfare than ever, making MORE on welfare than if they worked and those roles keep growing. Why work, you, the whole family, all of your ever increasing "dependents" when you can make well over a hundred thousand a year by not working, and, have every benefit know to mankind ..... and ...... all of those 15 in the household are learning to play the same game, a growth industry if there ever was one ........ LET THE GOVERNMENT PAY FOR IT.....
