More Unbelievable Propaganda in Katrina's Wake
FOX News ^ | September 20, 2005 | Bill O'Reilly

Again, here are the facts. Black homeownership is up 2 percent under President Bush. Poverty spending is significantly higher under Bush than it was under Clinton. Educational spending for poor school districts is higher under Bush. And the poverty rate stood at 13.7 percent halfway through Clinton's tenure. It is 12.7 percent halfway through Bush's two terms.


My lord, someone like you who has some smarts listens to FOX??? From Bill O'Reilly, the perv? Why? So you don't have to give up your tax cuts? So you can believe that Bush is for real? I don't understand you people.....steeped in ignorance and myth.

BTW the povery rate was high when Clinton tookover from Bush.........it declined almost every year of his presidency. And Fox loves to use the midpoint of Clinton's presidency as their base year when any fool knows that Clinton's policies were just then kicking in and things improved dramatically after that.

Here's the true story...........poverty levels have increased every year for the past 4 years of the Bush administration. He has been the worst president for the poor in a long, long time. In the meantime, he has helped concentrate more of this nation's resources into the hands of the rich. And you defend this hee haw?! You should be ashamed!

That increase, reported in the much-anticipated annual Census Bureau study Tuesday, surprised many analysts who had expected the number to drop along with unemployment.
