One in six Americans now officially poor as poverty rate climbs to 27-YEAR high
Well, to their credit they *did* say they were going to invest in the poor, and it looks like they are getting a good return: poor is going up - a lot! Why, they might even double the poor, making for a fantastic 100% return on their investment.
The quickest way to double this “historical” number is to import twice the poverty we’re importing now. States need to offer more handouts and more “DREAM Acts”. Amnesty is on the way. Our “poverty” numbers are going to go out of site! The whining from the ‘RATS is going to become unbearable for the taxpaying American however.
Since these are Census numbers, that one in six AMERICANS figure is a lie. The Census clowns pimped the illegal aliens hard to get them to participate.
