THIS is/was OLD-BUT IMPORTANT NEWS!
"Census: 48 Million Americans Now in Poverty" and was in Democracy Now yesterday,Â
Newly released census data indicates that the number of Americans living in poverty is millions higher than previously known. Under a new revised census formula, one in six Americans, or 48 million people, lived in poverty last year. The census shows a growing number of people over the age of 65 who are struggling in poverty due to rising medical costs."

Believe me and David DeGraw, there are even more impoverished Americans than that.
