How Poor Are America's Poor? Examining the "Plague" of Poverty in America

excerpt:
Immigration and Poverty

Unfortunately, any effort to reduce the number of poor persons in the U.S. will be partially offset by current immigration policies. Each year, immigration (both legal and illegal) adds hundreds of thousands of new persons to the nation's poverty count. Overall, first-generation immigrants and their minor children account for nearly one-fourth of all poor people in the U.S.[37]

excerpt:
Conclusion

The living conditions of persons defined as poor by the government bear little resemblance to notions of "poverty" promoted by politicians and political activists. If poverty is defined as lacking adequate nutritious food for one's family, a reasonably warm and dry apartment to live in, or a car with which to get to work when one is needed, then there are relatively few poor persons remaining in the United States. Real material hardship does occur, but it is limited in scope and severity.

FEMA Won’t Help Republican Leaning Town Devastated by Tornados Clean Up

While sleeping in my bedroom at night especially during heating season the room is dry and I wake up with dry mouth and thirst during sleeping hours.

I do not have a humidifier to put humidity in the air. Do not feel like buying one either.

The other day I thought of an idea to put humidity in the room. I took a household pail yesterday and put about 4 inches of water in the bottom. Then took a small hand towel and moistened it in the water and draped it over a wooden rod which lays on the rim of the pail leaving the bottom of the towel in the water. The towel hanging  in the water acts as a wick.

It has been there about 24 hours and the towel is still wet and the water in the pail looks like it has used about one pint or so of water.

I awoke about 4:30 am and did not have a dry mouth and thirst The air feels more humid and does not have that dry heat feel.

Where President Obama's Promise Zones Can Meet Rand Paul's Economic Freedom Zones

Income inequality is the name of the political game in 2014.
excerpt:
In this way, specific zones can benefit from strategic, targeted government funding in the areas it needs it most.

I see President Obama's face on the tv pushing the promised zones.
I see Pelosi bitch!in about the rich today.

All out media blitz by the dems to cover the Obamacare disaster.

The big news of the day is Walmart offers cheaper and better health insurance policies to their employees. Something like $139.00 month. I doubt if big news is going to cover that.

Obama is still speaking with his staged participants in the background.
