US poverty statistics are irrelevant to this item - it deals with the huge gap in income between the top 1%, the top 10% and the rest of us.<br /><br />As for the US being "a failed, nightmarish society." well, those are your words.<br /><br />ckmCharles Kingsley Michaelson, IIIhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04364694465614330540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-69599845278524424062011-07-24T14:55:19.288-05:002011-07-24T14:55:19.288-05:00Pitchforks: Misleading Rubbish.

Rector and Sheffield explain that U.S. government poverty statistics portray a misleading negative image around the world. Al Jazeera, Iran’s Teheran Times, Chinese and Russian media have latched on to U.S. poverty statistics to depict the United States as a failed, nightmarish society. And nothing could be further from the truth.<br /><br />President Obama plans to make this situation worse by creating a new “poverty” measure that deliberately severs all connection between “poverty” and actual deprivation. Rector and Sheffield say that the goal is to measure income “inequality,” not poverty—giving the President public relations ammunition for his “spread-the-wealth” agenda.<br /><br />BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-84615265734779082782011-07-23T23:01:38.222-05:002011-07-23T23:01:38.222-05:001 If by See: Bad news, bro.

So far, we've seen marked police cars around Baltimore with the camera arrays. The idea is that warrants and stolen vehicles will be identified in real time. However, they won't be using them to figure out where you are--that's what your cell phone is for.OSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454944574511999653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-62441372670012507192011-07-23T23:00:38.384-05:002011-07-23T23:00:38.384-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.OSRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09454944574511999653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7806136543904112143.post-20710300241601595582011-07-23T15:02:14.227-05:002011-07-23T15:02:14.227-05:00One if by See:

And nice of Mr summers to have already prioritized recovery.
