Australian economist Steven Kates is unsurprised at news of a record increase in US poverty on President Barack Obama’s watch:
It comes with the stimulus. If you produced goods and services that create no value, there is less product for people to buy. It is precisely this that causes poverty. What else would you expect?

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
