Then again, how much were you making at 19 years old?

Its called making a point. You fail at your attempt to spin.
WASHINGTON — The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Barack Obama’s watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.
Census figures for 2009 — the recession-ravaged first year of the Democrat’s presidency — are to be released in the coming week, and demographers expect grim findings.
It’s unfortunate timing for Obama and his party just seven weeks before important elections when control of Congress is at stake. The anticipated poverty rate increase — from 13.2 percent to about 15 percent — would be another blow to Democrats struggling to persuade voters to keep them in power.
“The most important anti-poverty effort is growing the economy and making sure there are enough jobs out there,” Obama said Friday at a White House news conference. He stressed his commitment to helping the poor achieve middle-class status and said, “If we can grow the economy faster and create more jobs, then everybody is swept up into that virtuous cycle.”
Interviews with six demographers who closely track poverty trends found wide consensus that 2009 figures are likely to show a significant rate increase to the range of 14.7 percent to 15 percent.
Should those estimates hold true, some 45 million people in this country, or more than 1 in 7, were poor last year. It would be the highest single-year increase since the government began calculating poverty figures in 1959. The previous high was in 1980 when the rate jumped 1.3 percentage points to 13 percent during the energy crisis.
Among the 18-64 working-age population, the demographers expect a rise beyond 12.4 percent, up from 11.7 percent. That would make it the highest since at least 1965, when another Democratic president, Lyndon B. Johnson, launched the war on poverty that expanded the federal government’s role in social welfare programs from education to health care.
Demographers also are confident the report will show:
_Child poverty increased from 19 percent to more than 20 percent.
_Blacks and Latinos were disproportionately hit, based on their higher rates of unemployment.
_Metropolitan areas that posted the largest gains in poverty included Modesto, Calif.; Detroit; Cape Coral-Fort Myers, Fla.; Los Angeles and Las Vegas.
“My guess is that politically these figures will be greeted with alarm and dismay but they won’t constitute a clarion call to action,” said William Galston, a domestic policy aide for President Bill Clinton. “I hope the parties don’t blame each other for the desperate circumstances of desperate people. That would be wrong in my opinion. But that’s not to say it won’t happen.”
Lawrence M. Mead, a New York University political science professor who is a conservative and wrote “The New Politics of Poverty: The Nonworking Poor in America,” argued that the figures will have a minimal impact in November.
“Poverty is not as big an issue right now as middle-class unemployment. That’s a lot more salient politically right now,” he said.
But if Thursday’s report is as troubling as expected, Republicans in the midst of an increasingly strong drive to win control of the House, if not the Senate, would get one more argument to make against Democrats in the campaign homestretch.
The GOP says voters should fire Democrats because Obama’s economic fixes are hindering the sluggish economic recovery. Rightly or wrongly, Republicans could cite a higher poverty rate as evidence.
Democrats almost certainly will argue that they shouldn’t be blamed. They’re likely to counter that the economic woes — and the poverty increase — began under President George W. Bush with the near-collapse of the financial industry in late 2008.http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/business/7196931.html

I’ve been looking at real estate in Cape Coral. I’ve seen a lot on freshwater canals. Can you actually get to the ocean from these canals. I looked at them from google earth and it looks possible if you draw a map of the maze of canals. However, I don’t know if the bridges where the roads go over the canals are too short to drive a boat under. Can anyone help me out with this?

I know that if 2 realtor’s or broker are involved that the commisson is split between them. Half going to the seller agent and the other half giong to the buyer agent. Know i have been told that a person should never have to pay more than 10,000 total in broker fees. which then would be split between the two agents. This does not include other fees like title company ect. I’m just interested in the broker fee part. They usally charge a percent of the sale 6% to 8% –but I would like it to be know more than 10,000 max. So sombody that has delt with this tell me what you think. Home buyer–Home seller- from florida or even Realtor that works in Florida. By the way property is in Cape Coral Florida it is land only and is a triple lot. Should sell between 100,000 to 180,000–so if the fee for a broker say was 8% for the sale the broker fee would be 8,000 to 14,400 which of course the higher number is what some realtors are telling me is to high of a fee to pay anybody. Please help.

I used to live up North on east coast. So I don’t know much about sw Florida. Can veggie plants be grown sucessfully outdoors (say like in Cape Coral or St. James City), or should they be done in large pots and kept by windows under shelter? Would too many “bugs” or the bad winds or downpours destroy the veggie plants if they were done outdoors? I don’t want to look like an idiot doing vegetable plants outdoors around here if it really is’nt possible to keep them alive well out there or keep them from getting broken. Vegetables like: big beef tomatoes, big bell peppers, yellow squash and eggplant.
