this section bothered me the most.
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.

Nah - I can see by your sig line that you don't know your right from your left.
Those are both VERY G.O.P. sentiments. I'm proud of ya!
Anyway, "poverty" is a misused ter,m I won't go into the politics that are clearly behind this nonsensical statistic, but keep in mind that my household income (yes, mine) is only $300/month above Federal poverty level standards for our family size. And we do fine.
It's all a matter of how you manage. unfortunately, some of the "working poor" (which the NICOfam and I represent) are poorly equipped to manage their income, and they make poor choices - Which only exacerbates the problem.
But the left-leaners, in their quest to absolve EVERYONE of their personal responsibility for their condition, would have you believe that this is SOMEHOW the government's fault.
I don't see how that can be? I have paid between 3 and 6% in taxes for the last 5 years. What's the government got to do with it?
Get a second job, take some classes, improve yourself and your situation - But for God's sake, quit crying.
