I’m sure it has nothing to do with our continued slide to the left over the past 20 years.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm, looks like a golf club or a Hillerich & Bradsby oh no wait ...it looks like a hockey stick?
Recovery Summer is over?
I travel throughout the world to make a living, and visit the entire spectrum of countries from dirt poor to fabulously wealthy.
Believe me, this country hasn't known real poverty for decades. And, being America, any individual or family has the ability to be mobile and move up in the class structure through their own hard work and determination (for now, anyway).
This crap looks like something the LSM used to but out while Dubya was presiding. What a joke.
We import illegal aliens who come here with no posessions, work for minimum wage, and then wire part of their paychecks HOME and wonder why we have “not erradicated poverty”.
The welfare safety net provides a cruch for those who want to survive at that level by choice.
When you make little and wire it out of the country, you aren’t really hurting.
Provide for yourself first. Those who are unwilling to provide for themselves and are able to do so deserve no support. Legal or illegal.
Absolutely meaningless number. It's the percentage that matters.
Weisenthal knows better.
find Jan 2007 on the graph... that’s when the dems took over
only job they didn’t have was the POTUS. the POTUS does not spend money or set taxes. that’s congress
Yeah, but you can have a car and a microwave and cableTV and still qualify as “poor” in the USA. Kinds of makes the statistics useless.
Poverty my a$$. By who’s standards? A used Mercedes vs a new one? A 40 inch flat screen vs. a 50 inch? A Blackberry vs conventional cell? A 14k gold dollar sign hangin around the neck vs. 10k?
It would be interested to see this by percentage of population, rather than raw numbers. (Since the population is always increasing - I guess yet another “bubble” coming).
Oh ... stoopid me! There it is in percent right on the chart!
What this number actually shows is that as leftist policies take hold, the already wealthy use the government to stop those aspiring to be wealthy from achieving their goals. Make no mistake, fascism and Marxism are not designed to end rich and poor, they are designed to make them permanent.
WOW..this is a much different take than the other media reports that it is the ‘highest since 1994’!
IT IS THE HIGHEST EVER RECORDED IN CENSUS RECORDS!
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
How many cars, TV’s, cell phones, IPODS etc...do these “poor families” own?
Nobody is in poverty here, now in Haiti, THAT’S poverty.
Show me the money!

If you earn $22,025 you are in the top 10.72% of global earners. Maybe Obama will embark on another apology tour for our ‘greed’.
Cue Hollyweird crowd:
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let’s start giving
There’s a choice we’re making
We’re saving our own lives
It’s true we’ll make a better day
Just you and me
