UN Report On Poverty Blasting Trump Has One Big Problem
Much like so many reports of kids fenced in at illegal alien detention centers….oh, look, here’s a new one, saying they were handcuffed and beaten….that seem to have occurred during the time of the previous White House occupant, Trump gets blamed for things that he didn’t do. He wasn’t POTUS at the time. Here’s another
(Fox News) A recent United Nations report blasting President Trump and America in general for harboring “contempt” and “hatred for the poor” is based on highly inaccurate data that can’t easily be used to compare the U.S. to other nations.
The U.N. report’s main contentions read like an attack on the Trump administration by the Democratic Party: America has 40 million poor people, including 18.5 million who live in extreme poverty; U.S. policies regarding the poor are “cruel and inhuman;” the Trump tax cuts aren’t working and will worsen inequality; and the U.S. needs to spend less on defense of our nation and more on social programs.
But, wait a minute: the U.N. report’s main contentions are based on the U.S. Census Bureau’s official poverty measure data for 2016 – the last full year of President Obama’s second term. So it would be absurd to say that private citizen Donald Trump had any responsibility for the many shortcomings of the Obama administration or any other administration in power before he became president.
The U.N. might as well blame Trump for causing the Great Depression – before he was born.
An even bigger problem with the report, especially given that the organization attacking American policy is the U.N., is that the Census Bureau data for 2016 isn’t accurate and can’t be used to compare U.S. anti-poverty programs with programs in other developed nations.
Wouldn’t this be what was referred to as an “inherited problem” from the day Obama took office in 2009 to at least his re-election in 2012? The media at the time the report was released at the beginning of June were hot to trot to Blame Trump, with headlines like
- America’s poor becoming more destitute under Trump: U.N. expert
- Trump’s ‘cruel’ measures pushing US inequality to dangerous level, UN warns
- Trump Policies Highlighted in Scathing U.N. Report On U.S. Poverty
- U.N. report details ‘extreme poverty’ in U.S., slams Trump policies
- Blistering U.N. Report: Trump Administration’s Policies Designed to Worsen Poverty & Inequality
The Washington Post had an honest (mostly) article on the report, noting that the safety net programs were failing before Trump was elected. Regardless, so many others were blasting Trump policies for data from the Obama era.
