the article states that 33% of the severely poor are under 17??what does that mean--is someone in high school working at mcd's on the weekend considered severely poor--how about if that severely poor youth has parents with six figure income--is he still severly poor--this article tortures the facts unbearably--26% increase since 2000--sounds unrealistic at best--completely fabricated is more like it--and money doesnt really tell the tale--20,000 in nyc is pocket change--20k in central pa or the midwest gets you a nice home and life--just more bush bashing so youll feel guilty enough to let hillary "take those profits" and grow her big govt--but we've thrown hundreds of billions at this since the great society was supposed to fix it--guess it didnt work
