poverty in the usa
Published Jul. 3, 2009Views: 1211
Why do most folk speak of poverty worldwide and then speak of poverty in the USA as if it's similar? I've traveled to some poor countries, seen the poor in the USA, and searched the internet for poverty stricken areas of the world. I conclude that the ONLY country in the world where the poor are FAT(comparatively speaking) is the USA...why is that?

"Missouri Republican Cynthia Davis has opposed subsidized school lunches for poor children in her district saying that "hunger can be a positive motivator."
See? They're just being positively motivated in the conservative GOP tradition.

But the poor in our country do eat far better than the poor in others.
