While it’s no surprise that nearly 50 million Americans live below the poverty line, new statistics from the US Census show that almost 100 million others are counted as low-income citizens, making half of the population of America officially poor.

The latest figures out of the US Census Bureau show that in addition to the 49.1 million Americans who fall below the official poverty line, those that rake in enough to be between that level and the income equitable to double it fall into a new “low-income” category, which counts an additional 97.3 million people. Altogether, that clump of nearly 150 million Americans living in dire economic standing accounts for around 48 percent of the US population.

And they say Europe has problems. ;)

Quick to hide their own problems by showing some else's problems. They are worst! Oh yeah? You're shit too but instead of talking about them maybe fix your shit.

Yeah, but the idea of pointing out our problems doesn't help them in any way. They just try to make us look worse. :/

Yeah but if the Euro fails the economy will collapse & will cause another recession. I don't want that but we should invest in helping the poorest of people which include governments by removing tax from the lowest earners.
