Chad Schuldt again parrots the lies form the left. As I stated in my previous posts, many use statistics incorrectly. Here is that statistic that Schuldt used:
The percentage of the U.S. population living in poverty rose to 12.7 percent from 12.5 percent in 2003, as 1.1 million more people slipped into poverty last year, the Census Bureau said in its annual poverty report.
Jon Schaff corrected Schuldt’s mistake:
If I were a left-wing ideologue who reads all news through the prism partisanship, I might try to make some hay out of today's report on the rise in poverty. But luckily I am not an ideologue and I also know where to find poverty statistics from the US Census Bureau. The rise in the annual poverty rate is a minuscule .2%, from 12.5 to 12.7. If one looks at historical averages 12.7% is pretty good. If one looks at the last 20 years of data the average annual poverty rate is 13.23. If one takes the years of Bush budgets (2002-2004) the average yearly rate is 12.73. If one looks at the eight years of Clinton budgets (1994-2001) the average annual rate is 12.86.
A left-wing ideologue could simply be listed as the lying left.
