<p><em><strong><a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/08/05/donald-trump-will-crush-everyone-in-the-debate-tomorrow/">As we stated a day prior to the debate that Trump will dominate</a> </strong></em>and now even CNN titled their opinion as “No one eclipses Donald Trump at GOP debate”:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>“It was the most dramatic opening to a presidential debate in recent memory—and Donald Trump stole the show before he’d even said a word.”</p>
<p>“For more than a month, Trump has defied the normal patterns of politics and Thursday night was no exception …”</p>
<p>“Perched comfortably at the top of the polls and lapping his closest rivals by double digits, Trump was expected to do well at the first GOP presidential debate of the 2016 season on Thursday night. The onus was on his competitors to seize the spotlight, but none of them managed to change the dynamics in a race that Trump has dominated for more than a month.”</p>
<p class="zn-body__paragraph">“None of contenders made noticeable blunders. <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/07/politics/donald-trump-republican-debate/index.html">But none of them could outshine Trump</a>.”</p>

<p>That was true with the most uncomfortable questions. Though it was Trump’s first political debate—and perhaps one of his first experiences with time constraints and a buzzer—Trump navigated the debate stage with ease, even when faced with unexpectedly sharp questions like the first from Fox News moderator Megyn Kelly.</p>
<p>“One of the things people love about you is you speak your mind and you don’t use a politician’s filter,” Kelly said to Trump in the opening minutes. “However, that is not without its downsides, in particular, when it comes to women. You’ve called women you don’t like fat pigs, dogs, slobs, and disgusting animals.”</p>
<p>“Only Rosie O’Donnell,” Trump interjected to laughter.</p>
<p>“For the record, it was well beyond Rosie,” Kelly shot back, noting that Trump had told one contestant on “Celebrity Apprentice” that it would be a pretty picture to “see her on her knees.” “Does that sound to you like the temperament of a man we should elect as president?” Kelly asked.</p>
<p>Setting the tone for the debate, Trump didn’t flinch and didn’t apologize.</p>
<p>“I think the big problem this country has — is being politically correct,” he said, channeling the appeal that has catapulted him to the top of the polls. “And I don’t frankly have time for total political correctness. And to be honest with you, this country doesn’t have time either.”</p>
<p>In everything we need to ask: what type of history will see it worthwhile to etch Kelly’s defense of some bimbo named <span id="eow-title" class="watch-title" dir="ltr" title="Donald Trump DESTROYS Rosie O'Donnell at the 2015 Republican GOP Debate">Rosie O’Donnell or Krauthammer’s incorrect conclusion that “last night this is the collapse of Trump”.</span></p>
<p>“Collapse of Trump”. Really? The difference between <em>pundits</em> and the <em>people</em> is the measure between heaven and hell and they better start listening, America is speaking out: we had enough.</p>
<p>Even my friend at The Right Scoop did his own poll from over 28,000 people and the results matches the Drudge. The Donald scooped it at 41% while Jeb got a miserable 2%:</p>
<p><a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/scoop-poll-copy.tiff"><img alt="scoop-poll copy" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-83609" height="1" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/scoop-poll-copy.tiff" width="1" /></a> <a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/scoop-poll-copy-2.jpg"><img alt="scoop-poll copy 2" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-83610" height="922" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/scoop-poll-copy-2.jpg" width="446" /></a></p>
<p><em>The Wall Street Journal</em> report said that despite critics’ opinions predicting GOP frontrunner Donald Trump’s poll numbers would fall, it turned false. “Time Magazine found that Mr. Trump took 47% of nearly 55,000 votes while <span class="scoreregex" data-govtrackid="412491" data-title="Sen" data-first="Marco" data-last="Rubio" data-party="R" data-state="FL" data-grade="B" data-average="80" data-link="M/412491?utm_campaign=breitbartapi&utm_medium=api&utm_source=breitbart" data-image="412491.jpeg">Sen. Marco Rubio</span> was in second place with just 10%. The Drudge Report’s poll found more than half of nearly 362,000 voters favored Mr. Trump, well above everyone else,” the <a href="http://www.wsj.com/articles/donald-trump-sets-off-post-debate-debate-will-he-keep-his-lead-in-gop-race-1438951633?mod=rss_US_News"><em>Wall Street Journal</em></a> noted. Here, watch the Drudge Poll:</p>

<p class="wp-caption-text">Drudge Report Poll</p>
</div>
<p>Nothing beats success like success. That is what America is all about.</p>
<p><em>But some might critique</em>: is success everything? What about God.</p>
<p>Well, even Jesus, when He judges and separates the sheep from the goats, He basis His judgment on accomplishments. On the Apprentice Trump decides based on accomplishments. Nothing wrong with that. Today Rescue Christians threw out one member on our board because he showed zero accomplishments while another remained because he helped to rescue 6000 slaves in six months. Accomplishments is what America is all about.</p>
<p>Now we need to give Trump a chance to do it in order to bring America to make it great AGAIN.</p>

<p><strong>By Theodore Shoebat<br /></strong></p>
<p>Muslims in Syria — all members of ISIS — entered the village of Qaryatain with fire arms, kidnapping over sixty Christians, and also 160 others. Local activists <a href="http://aranews.net/2015/08/isis-abducts-dozens-of-christians-after-seizing-syrian-key-town/" target="_blank">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Daesh (IS) kidnapped 160 Sunnis and more than 60 Christians in the al-Qaryatain town in Homs province on charges of having links with the Syrian regime</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Before the Islamist revolution struck Syria there were 2000 Christians living in the area of Qaryatain, but after the jihadist uprising the majority of them left. ISIS arrived to the town, and after a fight with Syrian forces, won the victory and now dominate the area. Muhammad Shami, a local media activist, <a href="http://aranews.net/2015/08/isis-abducts-dozens-of-christians-after-seizing-syrian-key-town/" target="_blank">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Fierce clashes broke out on Wednesday between Daesh (IS) and pro-Assad forces, ending with Daesh’s control over Al-Qaryatain town on Thursday afternoon</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The head of the Syrian Observatory <a href="http://europe.newsweek.com/isis-kidnap-hundreds-syrian-civilians-331327" target="_blank">recounted</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Daesh [the Arabic term for ISIS] kidnapped at least 230 people, including at least 60 Christians, during a sweep through Al-Qaryatain</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Nuri Kino, the founder of Assyrian advocacy group A Demand For Action, confirmed the kidnapping, <a href="http://europe.newsweek.com/isis-kidnap-hundreds-syrian-civilians-331327" target="_blank">saying</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>250 people are still missing. 1,500 people fled to the churches of Homs, water, medicine, food is needed immediately… They are tired, they are exhausted from fleeing. [Unidentified negotiators] are trying to negotiate and beg ISIS to release them since there are children and women among them who are innocent</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Benjamin Decker, analyst at the Tel Aviv-based geopolitical risk consultancy The Levantine Group, <a href="http://europe.newsweek.com/isis-kidnap-hundreds-syrian-civilians-331327" target="_blank">gave</a> the grim assessment that the chances of the Christians being released are very grim:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I don’t really see a good chance of them being released, whether they are kept in captivity, sold as sex slaves or killed,” he says. “The prospect of their release is very slim … I don’t think we are in a situation where they will be offering a ransom for their release… This was a political intelligence operation to disrupt some sort of governance that was existing in the town before they entered.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A hand written list of the names of the Christians was released and Zaid Benjamin posted it up on his Twitter page:</p>

<p>As Donald Trump said yesterday in the debate:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We Have No Time For Tone When Christians Are Getting Their Heads Chopped Off</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And we really don’t! We have no time for superficial politics; no time for equivocation; no time for vacillation. America should only do one thing and that is rescue persecuted Christians from this hell. But they are not doing this. Over twenty Christians fled ISIS and came to America, only to be arrested as illegal aliens, while the current administration has provided millions of people from Mexico with amnesty. Why can’t the same treatment be given to these persecuted Christians? Because the state does not wish to be an instrument of God, but an instrument of the devil, and so it becomes the diabolical’s acolyte, advancing the cause for the forces of darkness. If Donald Trump wins, I exhort him to do the will of God and fight for the cause of our brethren!</p>
<p>We must have prayer and action, and not be useless servants. Right now our team is trying very hard to get Christians out of Iraq and into a different countries. With God’s help we will succeed. We ask you to please make a donation to help us succeed in this mission.</p>

<div class="pf-content">
<p><strong>By Theodore Shoebat<br /></strong></p>
<p>After Bobby Jindal cut off funding for Planned Parenthood in Louisiana, and Texas forced the diabolical organization, now other states are following this righteous precedent, defunding and placing the genocidal feminist cult under criminal investigations. New Hampshire (a blue state!) just cut off funding for the sinister group, and so has Alabama; and Florida is placing it under criminal investigation. I did a while video on this great news, with commentary and all:</p>
<p><iframe width="600" height="440" src="http://shoebattube.com/player/embed_player.php?vid=1027&width=660&height=440&autoplay=no" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe></p>
<p>Four Florida Planned Parenthood clinics are being investigated, and this is all as a reaction to the videos that have been coming out, revealing the selling of organs by the sick organization. God bless those Christians who made these videos. Their videos have sparked such controversy that they may (God willing) just commence a turning point that would lead to the utter abolishment of infanticide, which is purely human sacrifice to Mammon, the god of the selfish and useless feminists who have done nothing for this society except convince women to an evil haughtiness and murder and abandon their own families.</p>
<p>The governor of Florida, Rick Scott, said:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The videos are pretty disturbing…So the right thing to do is to let the public know we are responding by doing an investigation to make sure they are complying with the law. It’s against the law to sell body parts.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Florida Agency for Health Care Administration (ACHA), <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/breaking-surprise-inspections-catch-3-planned-parenthood-clinics-doing-ille" target="_blank">declared</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>We will take immediate actions against these three facilities for performing second trimester abortions without a proper license</p>
</blockquote>
<p>New Hampshire will be cutting off from Planned Parenthood a $650,000 tax payer paid fund that was suppose to be given to the nazi organization. Instead, the The Executive Council of New Hampshire, with a 3-2 decision, determined that the money will be give to three health centers. Councilor David Wheeler <a href="https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/new-hampshire-deprives-planned-parenthood-of-650000-in-taxpayer-funds" target="_blank">stated</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>You can’t divorce what’s going on nationally from Planned Parenthood of Northern New England… and we need a real investigation.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Christopher Sununu, member of the New Hampshire Executive Council (and a “pro-choice” advocate), stressed on the pertinence of an investigation and that “investigations into potential criminal activity on both a federal and multi-state level have convinced me to withdraw that support. …This is not about pro-choice or pro-life. I am pro-choice</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Although Sununu (a Syrian Christian name by the way), states that he is pro-choice, his decision does indicate and reflect a shift of sentiment in the United States in regards to abortion, and this can be attributed to what these videos have revealed. Its like a bunch of Germans who like Hitler seeing the death camps for the first time: people, even under the most evil of influences, can change once the fullest manifestation of evil — the destruction of human life — is presented before their eyes.</p>
<p>Alabama also decided to cut off funds for the demonic Planned Parenthood. The governor of Alabama, Robert Bentley, sent a letter to the damned group informing them of his termination of state funds being sent to them. The governor <a href="http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/08/07/ala-governor-to-cut-state-medicaid-money-to-planned-parenthood/" target="_blank">said</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The deplorable practices at Planned Parenthood have been exposed to Americans, and I have decided to stop any association with the organization in Alabama. As a doctor and Alabama’s governor, the issue of human life, from conception to birth and beyond, is extremely important. I respect human life and do not want Alabama to be associated with an organization that does not</p>
</blockquote>
<p>The Scriptures warn us about the gluttons. St. Paul writes of them as such: “whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame—who set their mind on earthly things.” (Philippians 3:19) Look at all of these hellish women working for Planned Parenthood and you will notice that they are ugly gluttons; they are fat off their own indulgence, rejecting the love of God for the evils of the devil, and leaving themselves as slaves to the self. Look at this picture of this wretched Jezebel, working for Planned Parenthood, speaking nonchalantly about selling the corpses of unborn martyrs while stuffing her far ugly face with food, and you will see the face of a glutton:</p>
<div id="attachment_83602" style="width: 845px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/melissa-planned-parenthood.jpg"><img alt="Fat glutton, Melissa Farrell. May she rot in hell " class="size-full wp-image-83602" height="484" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/melissa-planned-parenthood.jpg" width="835" /></a>
<p class="wp-caption-text">Fat glutton, Melissa Farrell. May she rot in hell</p>
</div>
<p>So many people in this country need righteous and noble punishment, and there are no leaders willing to transform the system into a sheath in which the sword of justice can be efficiently placed, and from which it can be swiftly moved. What we need is a leader like Eglon who killed the gluttonous tyrant, Eglon, and when he stabbed him “the hilt went in after the blade, and the fat closed over the blade, for he did not draw the dagger out of his belly; and his entrails came out.” (Judges 3:22)</p>
<p>God willing the measures that these states are taken will escalate in intensity, and through some divine intervention, infanticide will be abolished and punishable by death. A righteous ruler who will shatter the altars of Mammon to which these evil people have sacrificed millions of infant, that is what we need! “Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins.” (Pslam 7:9)</p>
<p>We have to prepare our minds and intellect for this spiritual war that we are in. This is why I made a 2-disk DVD series on teaching the warring spirit of the Christian Faith.</p>
<p>For too long Christianity has been watered down in our modern day as a pacifist faith with no inclination of fighting evil. But is the Church here to be weak and useless? This shocking and riveting two disk DVD set lecture series, passionately shows how Christianity is not here to be feeble, but for warfare, to be militant against tyranny and the forces of darkness.</p>
<p>You will not be dissatisfied after watching this lecture, and Bible studies will forevermore never be the same again.</p>

<p>To me, what Trump responded to Jeb Bush seals the deal for my vote for Trump as President telling him that “We have no time for tone when Christians are getting their heads chopped off”:</p>
<p><iframe src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2XpMunULobY" width="660" height="415" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<h1>WE HAVE 24 HOURS. THIS CHRISTIAN WHOM YOU WILL VIEW HERE WILL HAVE HIS HEAD CHOPPED OFF IN 24 HOURS FROM NOW. THE CLOCK IS TICKING.</h1>
<p>I <a href="http://shoebat.com/2015/08/06/video-muslims-kidnap-christian-man-and-say-that-if-egypt-does-not-release-terrorists-from-prison-in-the-next-two-days-they-will-slaughter-him/">posted a video last night</a> while the debates were going on. The footage was being deleted by social media and it was difficult to obtain even from Middle East sources. The video had ISIS showing one Christian named <em>Tomislav Salopek</em> from Croatia. So few were who watched it. Why? It’s because folks would rather watch the beheading, only <em>after the fact</em>.</p>
<p>Just hearing his voice is heart wrenching:</p>
<p><iframe src="http://shoebattube.com/player/embed_player.php?vid=1025&width=660&height=440&autoplay=no" width="660" height="440" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"></iframe></p>
<p><a href="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/isis-ch-copy.jpg"><img alt="isis ch copy" class="aligncenter wp-image-83573" height="363" src="http://shoebat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/08/isis-ch-copy-1024x508.jpg" width="732" /></a></p>
<p>ISIS says that if Egypt does not release Islamic terrorists in the next 48 hours from prison that they will behead him. Please watch the video above, in which Tomislav speaks in English about his two children and his wife, Natasha.</p>
<p>Tomislav worked for a French geoscience firm. The Croatian government is “making all the efforts to resolve the difficult situation of the Croatian citizen T.S.,” <a href="http://www.cnn.com/2015/08/05/us/isis-croatian-hostage/" target="_blank">said</a> the Croatian Foreign Ministry on Wednesday. Where is the U.S. from all this? No where to be found. Obama abandoned Egypt and only Trump can fix this. We are loosing all of our allies. While Obama is doing nothing about it, Trump, had he been in office would have done what he said “to get the job done”.</p>
<p>This is why politicians need to go and we at <em>Rescue Christians</em> thank God for Donald Trump, the best man for the persecuted Christians. Folks say that he is “very wealthy” and Jesus said some things about “the rich man”. Indeed He did. But He also chose to be buried in a rich man’s tomb: Joseph of Arimathea because Arimathea honored Christ’s martyrdom and so must we honor Trump for his stand on the Christian martyrs.</p>
<h3>REMEMBER 24 HOURS, THE CLOCK IS TICKING. IMAGINE IF THIS WAS YOU?</h3>
<p>We need to be a nation of prayer WITH ACTION. We must take action to assist our brethren. Right now we have a team working to help save Christians from getting beheaded in Iraq. Wish we could get a president to aid with a military contingency. Please help us with this mission.</p>

<p>As it becomes ever more clear that income inequality will be a defining issue in the upcoming presidential race – if not the defining issue – conservative economists and pundits are pulling out all the stops to persuade us that there's no there there.</p>
<p>The middle class, they say, has been doing just fine over the decades since 1970. In fact, they've done great. If American politicians felt comfortable about cribbing a catch phrase from the British, you might be hearing echoes of Harold Macmillan's 1957 slogan, "You never had it so good," on American airwaves. Of course, that might undercut Republicans' argument that it's time for them to take over the White House, so maybe not.</p>
<p>Then what's the goal of these efforts to prove that inequality is a myth? It's to justify those policies that have been widely blamed for inequality. These include tax cuts favoring the wealthy, union-busting, and the reclassification of employees as independent contractors.</p>
<p>So let's take a closer look at these studies. The most prominent author is Martin Feldstein, who was Ronald Reagan's chief economist and is now a professor of economics at Harvard. In a recent commentary, Feldstein urged his readers not to "lose sight of how well middle-income families have actually done over the past few decades." Their gains, he asserted, have been concealed by "misleading statistics that grossly understate these gains."</p>
<p>Feldstein cites government statistics showing that "the real incomes of those at the middle of the income distribution [that is, the median income] have increased about 50% since 1980." He says the increase is even higher if one expands the definition of income beyond cash wages and includes near-cash benefits like food stamps and in-kind benefits like health care," and subtracts federal taxes, which have fallen for middle-income taxpayers from 19% of pre-tax income in 1980 to 11.5% in 2010.</p>
<p>Finally, he wants to add gains in the standard of living, largely from the wonders of the Internet and lower prices for appliances. "If the gains have been worth just 1% a year, over the past 30 years that would cumulate to a gain of 35%."</p>
<p>A few points: first, by defining the "middle class" as those earning the median income, Feldstein is putting his thumbs on the scale. If you define this group demographically, as two economists from the St. Louis Federal Reserve did recently, what were once thought of as middle-class households have slipped well down the income ladder.</p>
<p>What about benefits and taxes? Feldstein seems to think that food stamps are a middle-class entitlement. Under federal rules, however, the maximum gross household income for food stamps for, say, a family of four, is $31,000. Middle class?</p>
<p>Healthcare costs, of course, have been rising; those obtaining employer-sponsored insurance have been consistently shouldering more of the premium cost, while in many cases benefits have been shrinking. And out-of-pocket payments have run well ahead of inflation over the years. Americans spent $25 billion out of pocket in 1970, according to government figures; by 2013, that figure was $339 billion, more than half what it would have been if it rose by the same rate as consumer inflation.</p>
<p>Feldstein's figure for gains from technology are particularly nebulous. How does he know they're worth 1% a year? How does he account for the fact that access to advanced technology declines as one slips down the income ladder. According to the Pew Research Center, for instance, 91% of households with income of $75,000 or more had access to broadband Internet service. For households earning less than $30,000, the figure was 52%.</p>
<p>Taxes? Feldstein employs a familiar sleight-of-hand by limiting his analysis to federal taxes, which are still progressive. Factor in state and local levies, and the middle- and working classes are getting socked. The average share of family income paid in those levies was sharply regressive overall, according to the Institute on Taxation and Economic Policy. The lowest 20% of households, earning $19,000 or less, paid 10.9% of their income in state and local taxes. For the middle fifth, it was 9.4%. For the top 1%, it was only 5.4%.</p>
<p>Another widely noted study by Robert Z. Lawrence of the Peterson Institute for Economic Analysis argues that since overall labor income has kept pace with productivity, the crisis in middle-class incomes has been misunderstood. Lawrence acknowledges that there's a widening gap between productivity and compensation, but says it's only appeared since 2000, not the 1970s. He acknowledges that "production" workers have suffered over the long term, but says it has little to do with the ebbing of worker bargaining power thanks in part to the weakening of unions, and more to do with the rising cost of goods and services such as housing and education.</p>
<p>Lawrence makes several adjustments to statistics to support this conclusion, but one key to his method is to track all income, from CEOs down to the factory floor. As several critics have noted, if you do that it's not surprising that income has kept pace with productivity. The issue isn't whether productivity produces income; it's who pockets the income.</p>
<p>The trends are indisputable that an increasing share is flowing to the very top: supervisors and executive ranks. Production and nonsupervisory workers have been consistently shortchanged since the 1970s. That distinction disappears if you put all compensation in the same pot. As economist Dean Baker of the Center for Economic and Policy Research put it, "progressive economists had long known that the story of wage stagnation was overwhelmingly a story of redistribution among workers, from factory workers and retail clerks, to doctors, bankers, and CEOs...The fact that average compensation had kept pace with productivity was hardly news to any of us."</p>
<p>These are reasons why you should be wary of declarations from conservative think tanks that middle-class incomes have doubled over the last thirty years. These arguments are designed to make middle-class Americans believe that they're not suffering as much as they thought. But the middle class probably knows better.</p>

<p>America has experienced "gush-up" rather than "trickle-down." The shame is on the adherents of unregulated free-market capitalism, who have assaulted us with the message of "winner-take-all" wealth over the common good. George Will perpetuates the neoliberal myth by quoting one of his idols, John Tamny: "Income inequality in a capitalist system is truly beautiful...it provides the incentive for creative people to gamble on new ideas.."</p>
<p>But in the realm of reality, there are many reasons for embarrassment:</p>
<p><strong>1. Just Because They're Rich, Billionaires are Trusted to Design Our Education and Health Systems</strong></p>
<p>Bill Gates leads the way here. He got rich in questionable ways from technology, and as a result much of America feels he's qualified to be a great humanitarian. Because of his corporate-endowed foundation, says Arundhati Roy, Bill Gates can "find himself designing education, health, and agriculture policies, not just for the U.S. government but for governments all over the world."</p>
<p>In addition to Gates, education "reformers" include Mark Zuckerberg and his fellow billionaires Eli Broad and Michael Bloomberg and Rupert Murdoch and the Walton family, none of whom have much educational experience, and all of whom are promoting education reform with lots of standardized testing and little accountability to the public.</p>
<p>In agriculture, wealthy western philanthropists decide the future of African farmers from a corporate point of view, with a sense of disdain for traditional methods of small farming.</p>
<p>Much the same in health care, with World Health Organization director Margaret Chan summarizing the role of money in global decision-making: "My budget [is] highly earmarked, so it is driven by what I call donor interests."</p>
<p><strong>2. A Prime Destroyer of Low-Income Homes is Awarded for His "Contributions to Society"</strong></p>
<p>As part of the 2015 New York University's 183rd Commencement, hedge fund billionaire John Paulson received an award for his "Outstanding Contributions to Society." The commencement program addressed him: "..Your influence is felt throughout broad sectors of society..your commitment to..a better quality of life for people across the world."</p>
<p>In 2007 Paulson had conspired with Goldman Sachs to create packages of risky subprime mortgages, so that in anticipation of a housing crash he could use other people's money to bet against his personally designed sure-to-fail financial instruments. His successful bet against American households paid him $3.7 billion.</p>
<p><strong>3. As America Adds $30 Trillion in New Wealth, 6 Million More Kids Go on Food Stamps</strong></p>
<p>The number of children on food stamps grew from 9.5 million in 2007 to 16 million in 2014, at the same time that U.S. wealth was growing from $52 trillion to over $83 trillion.</p>
<p><strong>4. 40% of Food Wasted.....and 40% of Households Food-Insecure</strong></p>
<p>According to Feeding America, almost 50 million households, or about 40 percent of American homes, experienced food insecurity at some point in 2013.</p>
<p>At the same time, the Natural Resources Defense Council estimates that 40 percent of food in the United States goes uneaten.</p>
<p><strong>5. Graduate Students Work 6+ Years for a PhD, then Need the Safety Net to Survive</strong></p>
<p>Businesses need less high-tech workers than just 15 years ago. Netflix, for example, serves 57 million customers with less than 2,200 employees, and much of the photo processing once done by Kodak with 145,000 employees is now done by Instagram with 13 employees.</p>
<p>Available jobs are well below the skill levels of college-trained adults. According to the New York Federal Reserve, 44 percent of recent college graduates were underemployed in 2012, holding jobs that are normally held by high school graduates.</p>
<p>New college graduates face their worst prospects in academia, where adjunct teachers now make up over 3/4 of instructors. One-quarter of part-time college faculty and their families are enrolled in food stamps or one of the other public assistance programs.</p>
<p><strong>The Greatest Embarrassment</strong></p>
<p>That would be Congress itself: Allowing Americans to go without health care. Blowing off jobs bills. Ignoring infrastructure. Privatizing education and other public needs. Doing nothing about student debt. Cutting the IRS even though every hour of auditing returns $9,000 from large corporations. And on and on and on.</p>
