Another Reason we Need a Change in the White House

DC Family Homelessness Is On The Rise

WASHINGTON (AP) — When Janice Coe, a homeless advocate in Loudoun County, learned through her prayer group that a young woman was sleeping in the New Carrollton Metro station with a toddler and a 2-month-old, she sprang into action.

Coe contacted the young woman and arranged for her to take the train to Virginia, where she put the little family up in a Comfort Suites hotel. Then Coe began calling shelters to see who could take them.

Despite several phone calls, she came up empty. Coe was shocked to learn that many of the local shelters that cater to families were full, including Good Shepherd Alliance, where Coe was once director of social services.

Just another example of the utter failure of the Obama administration.

Can't go with unemployment numbers falling, ditto job growth rising, ditto stocks rising. Oh, I know: there are more homeless!

Personally, I blame the banks for this. Instead of working with homeowners to save their homes, they would rather put them on the street and hold on to empty bank-repossessed homes.

Or it could be because Obama is a communist.

Can't believe you have the gall to trumpet 7.8%. Did you see how few actual jobs were created?

Yes...Enough to put the LIE to the claim that "He's lost more jobs than he's created."

Glad to see he was finally able to overcome the load of elephant-poo that the Idiot Son left behind.

I look at the trend, coming out of a severe economic crisis. The unemployment trend is down and has been for some time now. Watch if Romney gets elected and it continues to go down to 7% and Fred will be on here crowing about how great it is.

Thanks to Hank Paulsen and the shrub for that. They set it up so the banks get the full value of the loan from taxpayers when they foreclose. What's their motivation to work with homeowners?

For Every Person Added to Labor Force, 10 Added to Those Not in Labor Force
A new chart from the minority side of the Senate Budget Committee details the fact that, since January 2009, for every person added to the labor force, 10 have been added to those not in the labor force. Here's a chart showing the dwindling labor force:

Actually I am more of a pessimist than that. With increasing debt levels in both Europe and the States, declining growth rates in Asia, I think whoever wins will have to maintain a steady hand on the tiller just to keep us from foundering. I think Romney has a better chance and the experience to do this.

Per Grady. looks like HuffPo lied to LJ again.

Nice chart based on calculations made by some staff member of Republican Senator Sessions. Can't get anymore official and nonpartisan than that.
