Middle Class

The President held a press conference today but before the questions he touted the improvements in the economy using numbers but according to polls the average person does not feel the improvements. In every speech he expounds on his concern for the middle class and that is the very group whose income has declined every year since he has been in office. In his years in office the rich have gotten richer and the gap between the middle class and the rich has widened. He brags about the number of jobs created but doesn’t mentioned that many are part time and most are low paying. He brags about the 4% GDP in the last quarter but fails to mention that the percentage of people working is the lowest since 1979. Once again he feels that if he just talks about his concern for the middle class that will somehow make things better. Even his middle class supporters now realize that words alone will not do the job. The only ones who haven’t figured this out are those in the national press who continue to re-mouth his words.
