Obamanomics: 80% of American adults aren't sure where their next meal is coming from

But I'll bet they're still glad they voted for Obama:

80% Of US Adults Are Near Poverty, Rely On Welfare, Or Are Unemployed

Despite consumer confidence at a six-year high, the latest AP survey of the real America shows a stunning four out of five U.S. adults struggle with joblessness, are near poverty, or rely on welfare for at least parts of their lives amid signs of deteriorating economic security and an elusive American dream. Hardship is particularly on the rise among whites, based on several measures. Pessimism among whites about their families' economic futures has climbed to the highest point since at least 1987.

"Poverty is no longer an issue of 'them', it's an issue of 'us'," as 'the invisible poor' - lower income whites - are generally dispersed in suburbs (Appalachia, the industrial Midwest, and across America's heartland, from Missouri, Arkansas and Oklahoma up through the Great Plains) where more than 60% of the poor are white.

More than 19 million whites fall below the poverty line of $23,021 for a family of four - accounting for more than 41% of the nation's destitute - nearly double the number of poor blacks and as one survey respondent noted "I think it's going to get worse."

Given his recent racial histrionics, I suspect Barack Obama views the dire plight of poor white folks as a feature. It's their turn to suffer, as a sort of payback for him having to hear the sound of car doors locking when he walked the streets of Honolulu on his way to meetings of The Choom Gang.

And because income inequality "frays the social fabric" dontcha know. So if he can't move everybody (or at least all of the Democrats) into the One Percent then by golly it'll be trickle up poverty instead.

The middle class used to be the mainstay of American politicians. Now we have President Obama, under whose leadership the middle class keeps shrinking, while the ranks of the poor keep growing. This is what fundamental transformation looks like: the rich keep getting richer while the rest of us keep getting poorer. If you aren't part of the 1% you're screwed.

Or as Instapundit likes to say, he'll turn us all into beggars 'cause they're easier to please.

As for your next meal? Line up for some Government Cheese.
