I doubt it. The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) modified its statistical assumptions. 504,000 gave up looking for a job therefore were removed from the unemployment statistic. And despite the rosy picture painted by the media, food stamp usage continues to rise:
It has been reported that 1 in 6 Americans are on the program and lines up with the above graph. Those of us with family members unemployed know first hand how this unemployment picture sucks wealth out of the family structure to help provide food, shelter, and clothing to the unemployed. In the meantime, those in power enjoy their delicacies and social functions without regard for the children who are crying in their pillows. More Americans could qualify to get food stamps but don’t because of personal pride of not accepting handouts. The rich seemingly get richer as the middle class dwindle away. Since the world has become such a complex environment, the guilty can hide from the populous but not from Our Heavenly Father, Thankfully! HIS Righteous judgment will take care of the perpetrators of the widespread injustices to HIS children.
