WASHINGTON - The nation's poverty rate rose to 12.7 percent of the population last year, the fourth consecutive annual increase, the Census Bureau said Tuesday.
Read that again. Poverty increased every year Dubya has been in office. Says something about Dubya's policies.
And lets keep in mind that a family of four was considered living in poverty last year if annual income was $19,307 or less. For a family of two, it was $12,334. How the hell do you live on THAT? If the poverty line was ever moved to what it should be the percentages would be much higher. Of course it is not in any politician's best interest to report ACCURATE poverty figures so they'll never do it.
