Boy if this isn't the biggest crock of feces I've ever heard.

[La Enchiladita]

I could probably be judged among the "working poor" but I am content with what God has graced me. Contentment itself is a form of wealth.

[goldstategop]

I thought that's changed now that the Democrats are back in charge of Congress? Silly me. More Drive By/MSM doom and gloom and talk of soup kitchen lines.

[IronJack]

Ah, the class warfare card. It's always been a winner for the socialist crowd. I expect we'll be seeing more of it in the runup to the 2008 elections.

[HenpeckedCon]

The solution is obvious, raise taxes.

So were individuals who made less than $5,080 a year.

WTFO? My kid makes more than that, at a part-time job.

"The percentage of poor Americans who are living in severe poverty"

I wonder what the percentage of well-to-do Americans living in severe poverty is?

[Lizavetta]

So the War on Poverty, with all the trillions spent, hasn't done shit.

Why is it that the libs were crying failure, quagmire, and pull out approximately 1 week after we went into Iraq, yet 4+ DECADES after WOP, their only talking point is for 'more money'?

[D-Chivas]

They all have cell phones, cars, cable TV, and are 150 pounds overweight...

A family of four, with two children and an annual income of less than $9,903 -- half the federal poverty line -- was considered severely poor in 2005. So were individuals who made less than $5,080 a year.

Perhaps people who are only earning 9K a year you should not be having children. Just a thought.

[engrpat]

Our local news (DFW area) was discussing the high number of poor and someone stated the obvious...the vast majority were here illegally.

I have been saying for several years that we have lost the war on poverty and should just give up.

[ditto h]

It's Bushes fault.

[NCLaw441]

And the poorest city in the country is the nation’s capital, Washington, D.C., with 10.8 percent being severely poor.


And who controls this city, as well as nearly every large city in the country?

Consider the source: "Center on Budget and Policy Priorities".

This is a left-wing socialist organization, frequently quoted by Paul Krugman of the New York Times. They specifically exclude all consideration of government funding (welfare) to make the "poor" look as if they receive no support at all. BS squared, perhaps cubed.

[PISANO]

Severely poor in America =

two cars OR one fairly new SUV + XBOX 360 or equivalent + a 36-42" HDTV + Cell phones for anyone over the age of 8 + Satellite or Cable TV + DVD Player + IPODs + HS INTERNET + all the Food & Drink that is necessary to maintain a weight of 200 lbs or more + a roof over your family's head + heat in the winter and AC in the Summer and FREE MEDICAL CARE!!
