Poverty Rate: One In Six Americans Now Living In Poverty
http://californiaexaminer.net/


In 2010 there were a record number of people that were considered to being living in poverty. It hit its highest level since 1993 with forty-six million people in the United States living below the poverty level. It has risen for the third straight year to hit fifteen point one percent in 2010 and is the largest since the government began keeping records in 1959 and the highest among developed countries.

The government considers that the poverty line in the United States is twenty-two thousand, one hundred and thirteen dollars a year for a family of four including two of those members being children. Children under the age of eighteen are suffering from the highest poverty rate at twenty-two percent. This census data is also shown that there is a decline in how many people have employer-provided health benefits in the form of insurance with the uninsured just below the fifty million mark.

Although the recession officially ended in 2010 the jobless rate went from nine point three percent to nine point six percent. It all boils down to the fact that there is deterioration in the job market which is causing incomes to drop, the level of poverty to rise, and people are losing their health insurance and there appears to be no relief in sight.

The highest poverty rate can be seen in the southern regions of the United States with an increase in poverty rates for blacks, Hispanics, and non-Hispanic whites but not a significant difference for Asians. It breaks down to fifty-four percent poverty rate for Hispanics and Blacks together, twelve point one percent poverty rate for Asians, and nine point nine percent poverty rate for whites.

Despite being one of the richest countries in the world, the United States’ standard of living is marred by persistent poverty and inequality (both in wealth and income). These issues are aggravated by the fact that, due to the highly capitalistic nature of the U.S. economy, the government does not provide as many services to all its citizens as other rich and not-so-rich countries do (like universal healthcare), which directly affects the poor above all. In that sense, for example, while the percentage of people considered to be “poor” in France is the same as in the United States, any French citizen can enjoy top-notch healthcare without any financial woes, which only those who pay for health insurance in the U.S. can. Because of their higher equality, people in countries like Denmark or the Netherlands tend to show more uniformly that they are all (or, rather, almost all) satisfied with their lives or that they are “thriving” rather than “struggling” (something Gallup periodically asks of people in different countries), whereas there is a more marked difference in the U.S., where a relatively high percentage of people decidedly respond that they are “struggling” and dissatisfied with their lives. -- http://listverse.com/

Sealed daw pero klaro jamong gatubod ang laway
Nga gatan-aw sa rebonded nga buhok ni Inday.
Ajo kang ilawog sa bajot nganong kintahay
Wa matubag ni Inday ang imong pangindahay.

Winston Churchill

from Churchill’s Feline Menagerie
by Fred Glueckstein

The Prime Minister’s best-known cat during the war years was a big grey named Nelson. During a dinner at Chequers, the American war correspondent, Quentin Reynolds records Churchill as saying: “Nelson is the bravest cat I ever knew. I once saw him chase a huge dog out of the Admiralty. I decided to adopt him and name him after our great Admiral….” It was a cosy family dinner, Reynolds continued: “Churchill scarcely mentioned the war. Our first course was smoked salmon and twice, when Mrs. Churchill was not looking, the Prime Minister sneaked pieces of salmon to Nelson.”

Hmm, to put things straight, it's a puzzle which has first to be solved before it achieves the right to become an irony...

Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the T.V.'s dead and gone
I may be lonely but I'm never alone
and the night may pass me by
but I never cry

I Never Cry
by Alice Cooper


If there's a tear on my face
It makes me shiver to the bones it shakes me babe
It's just a heartache that got cought in my eye
and you know I never cry I never cry

Sometimes I drink more than I need
Until the T.V.'s dead and gone
I may be lonely but I'm never alone
and the night may pass me by
but I never cry

Take away take away my eyes
Sometimes I'd rather be blind
Break a heart break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone

'Cause that's all I've got give to you
believe me babe it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin it ain't never been tried
and you know I never cry
and you know I never cry
and you know you know you know you know
I'll never cry, I never cry

Break a heart break a heart of stone
Open it up but don't you leave it alone

'Cause that's all I've got give to you
believe me babe it ain't been used
My heart's a virgin it ain't never been tried
and you know I never cry
and you know I never cry
and you know you know you know you know
I never cry, I never cry
