"...The number of people living in poverty rose by 1.3 million to 35.9 million people, or 12.5 percent of the population, up from 12.1 percent in 2002.

The rise was more dramatic for children. There were 12.9 million living in poverty last year, or 17.6 percent of the under-18 population. That was an increase of about 800,000 from 2002, when 16.7 percent of all children were in poverty...."

It's just pathetic and shameful to live in a country where Presidential candidates spend millions of dollars slamming eachothers war records and debating over all the stupid shit they do, when almost 20% of the kids living in this country don't have access to decent housing, healthcare or any of the other basics they need for simple survival.

It's getting harder and harder these days to actually say the words "Proud American"
