What are the figures for native-born white children from two parent households?
The hidden driver???
The mostly unconstitutional $4 trillion government monster machine, that’s what!!
FUGEDDABOUT the debt. KILL THE BEAST!!! The “debt” will take care of itself once you kill the debtor.
The OP is also the “hidden driver” for the US’s unusually high infant mortality rates, and curiously low life expectancy.
The "poor" of the United States have a higher standard of living than the median (or higher) of most countries.
As the (possibly apocryphal) immigrant from India or Africa said, "I want to live in a country where the poorest people are the fattest."
Second, you screw around in school instead of paying attention. You walk the halls, cut classes, fail to do homework or projects, fail to study for tests. Is it a big surprise when you fail the course, and many more like it, with a work ethic like that? What kind of job, besides dealing drugs, can you qualify for which will adequately pay your bills?
Third, we allow zillions of illiterate unskilled illegal invaders to enter our country. Instead of throwing them out at a velocity of mach 10 back over our borders, we spend many millions of dollars allowing them to steal public education, including hiring bilingual teachers and buying expensive bilingual texts for them, allowing them to steal medical care, food stamps, housing subsidies, legal services, etc. Instead of taking advantage of their stolen education, most of those I've seen do not assimilate into American culture, fail to learn English well, stay within their self-made ghettos and generally stay at the poverty level, at which WE pay for their living expenses and suffer crimes committed against us by them.
No mysteries about it, then. Libtard policies at work to impoverish us all, the good Commie way. That's what Bernie would want, that's what imbeciles like Jerry Brown and Comrade DeBlASS want, etc.
Is that what YOU want for you and your family?
This is a less important contribution to poverty than Out-of-Wedlock births.
This isn’t that complicated! Of course, children are poor, they don’t have jobs!
So we should bring back child labor? The word “child poverty” is an obvious liberal tearjerker keyword.
What we call “poor” is above the median for most of the planet. Our poor live better than the average person on earth. Our poor are the first, in the history of mankind, to have obesity as their greatest heath risk. And finally, most of our poorest are going to always be is desperate circumstances due to mental health issues and their own actions (especially addictions). We give houses away to the homeless and most are homeless again within months.
Before getting into the “X vs Y” arguments, can we identify what’s meant by “poor”? I’m all for helping the abject & existentially poor, but anyone living in the world’s economic 70th percentile isn’t “poor”, and anyone suffering from outright obesity (of the too-many-calories kind) isn’t “poor”.
It’s gotta be somebody’s fault.
Might as well blame whitey seems to be the recurring theme lately.
Thank Ted Kennedy. Another great deed done in a drunken stupor.
There’s a Republican President, of course poor children are multiplying.
I had to take a Sociology course in college - 1965 or 66. The textbook was Michael Harrington's "The Other America". During the course I learned that all my life I'd lived "Below the Poverty Line!".
Amazing! I always thought we were middle class.
We had plenty of food & clothing. We had a warm & dry apartment. When I was 13 we bought our first TV and later a used car. I had a bicycle and my paper route provided spending money, sometimes grocery money and I bought some of my clothes.
My parents were divorced, so Mom had to support my sister & I. Sometimes when things got a little tight, financially, we went to live with my grandmother or an uncle & aunt.
But we were not POOR! We were loved and happy and all our physical needs were provided. OF course, I never had a pair of Air Jordans or a PlayStation (not that they'd been invented yet) Most importantly, we knew that we were loved by God.

There is a real profit, of course, but it comes only to those who live contentedly as God would have them live. We brought absolutely nothing with us when we entered the world and we can be sure we shall take absolutely nothing with us when we leave it. Surely then, as far as physical things are concerned, it is sufficient for us to keep our bodies fed and clothed.
much of child poverty comes from the fact over 70% of black children are born to single mothers and raised without fathers. That is one of the most serious problems faced by this nation IMO.
Up until 1980, immigrant children were better off than native born. At that point, chiefly because of the 1965 Immigration and Naturalization Act, the situation reversed. The law made “family preference” a cornerstone of immigration policy — and, as it turned out, that meant a growing number of new Americans hailing from less-developed countries and lacking skills.

Crooked politicians have been breeding and importing troublemakers for 50 years.
Children are poor due to single family homes.
