Again...crockett I am not making any "excuses" for the right.
How the hell do you come to that conclusion? I haven't mentioned Pres. Obama until I finally took your bait and told you that I did not blame him for high unemployment.
I have repeatedly said over and over and over that the plight of Native Americans in New Mexico has nothing to do with the direct actions of any current office-holder and everything to do with the atrocities that your beloved Federal Govt. rained down on native Americans 150 years ago.
As for the general population of New Mexico...no, they aren't getting welfare checks.
They do however have 507,000 people on Medicaid (compared to 5 million in New York).
They actually have 49,000 people getting welfare checks in New Mexico. Far too many. But those are the numbers.
These numbers were all racked up by a Democrat Governor by the way. Bill Richardson. And a totally Democrat controlled state house and senate.
I do NOT blame that governor. You apparently do.
And if you read a bit, you will find out that "yes" that 10% of American Indians being in real poverty does indeed move the dial on New Mexico's overall average.
That's how averages work Crockett. You could have 100 people. 30 of them make 100,000 , 30 of them make 50,000 , 30 of them make 25,000, and 10 of them make nothing.
It averages out to 52,500
Those aren't actual numbers and the percentages are off too...(more people in our country make NOTHING than just 10% because they live off of local, state, and federal govt)
But I'm just reminding you how an "average" works.
I'll say it once again for your obssession: I do not blame Obama, I do not blame Bill Richardson, I do not blame the current female Hispanic governor of New Mexico.
I blame the entire SYSTEM that ignores the people and is used by lifetime/career politicians.
Fuck the Republicans. And Fuck the Democrats.
Now that I have for the umpteenth time in the discussion very plainly told you this...I suppose you will once again tell me that I am attacking Obama and making apologies for Republicans.
