Go search boortz.com on Google and find Neal's fine essay on what constitutes "poverty" in the US. Those officially below the poverty line have a roff over their heads, indoor plumbing, air conditioning, cable to their color TV, cellphones and a car.

And the "go to bed hungry" stat you hear, well if Trump is too lazy to ring for a servant to fetch him a sandwich and he goes to be hungry BY CHOICE, that how the "milions go to bed hungry" stat is counted.

I'm not for people to be in misery or go hungry, but a lot of the liberal "guilt trip" they try and lay on us is bogus.

They keep playing a commercial on my satellite radio (one of those "public service" ads) about the poor kids who are forced to eat ketchup soup (?!) because there's not enough money for anything else. Never mind the fact that I can buy 2 cans of tuna for the price of a bottle of ketchup, given the numbers of shelters and soup kitchens and food stamps and free food at DSS and other places, how anyone can even suggest that someone would "have" to eat ketchup soup for dinner is just ridiculous. And sadly, I'm sure some bleeding hearts believe that tripe.
