U.S. Poverty Rate at Record High

So what is happening to the USA?  Why do we seem to be falling and failing in so many areas?  Why can't a high school graduate spell or read anymore?  Why can't college grads get a job anymore?  Why is everything made off our shores?  Why did we lose our credit rating?  Why is our poverty rate skyrocketing?  Where did our manufacturing sector go?

Number of Americans in poverty hits record high

The number of Americans living in poverty rose to 46.2 million last year, nearly one in six people, according to the US Census Bureau's annual report.

The 2010 data shows the poverty rate at 15.1%, from 14.3% in 2009. The number of Americans without health insurance also rose slightly to 49.9 million.

The poverty rate was the highest since 1983, and tied with the level in 1993.

AND HERE COMES THE LIBERAL ANSWER IN THE ARTICLE FOR THE HEART OF THE PROBLEM:

Reacting to the data, the Children's Leadership Council, an advocacy group, said: "The rising numbers of children living in poverty is a direct result of the choices made by political leaders who put billionaires before kids. America's children should be our top priority."

You see friends, to the liberal mind, all of the problems of children living in poverty has everything to do with those stupid Republicans favoring billionaires over kids.  In their mind it has NOTHING to do with premarital sex and out of wedlock pregnancies, it has NOTHING to do with the welfare system which has actually made the number in poverty grow, it has NOTHING to do with people turning from God, it has NOTHING to do with the fact that we ignored what the Bible says, "If a man won't work he shouldn't eat", and it has NOTHING to do with broken families sending broken children to public schools and expecting the teachers to deliver a good outcome to the children.

It's all the fault of rich people.
