As the Standard of Living Sets….

Posted on September 14, 2011 by George Ure

The US Census is telling us stuff we already knew, but when it comes in a PowerPoint people don’t seem to doze off as fast as when it comes along as raw data. Certainly seems to be the case with the latest “Income, Poverty, and Health Insurance” report released Tuesday. One main feature? One person in 6.6 is in poverty. Oh, one other thing: Our standard of living is heading guess which way?

2. Poor people don't contribute to political campaigns.
Hence, they have no voice in the political process. Whoever claims campaign contributions are free speech is a bullshit artist.

3. My state has the 3rd highest rate of "food insecurity"
starvation in other words, in the nation. I am horrified.
