And if you believe that, I have some secure resort property that I want to sell you in Liberia!?
?Now, do you want to hear the real truth - The figures speak for themselves!!?
34,800,000 Americans live in poverty! Oops, no $2000 a plate political fundraisers for them!
12,200,000 of our nation?s kids also live in poverty.
The number of people (Americans) living in poverty since 2001, is up by a whopping 1,400,000!
?I know, I know, it was the other guy?s fault!??
But look at the bright side - a huge chunk of rock (Asteroid QQ47), 2/3 of a mile wide, may, according to some astronomers, someday slam into the Earth! Now if it hits in the right place, the problem of poverty may be eliminated in one blinding flash!
Hey, and for the record, for those of you who have not seen the gigantic hole in the Arizona desert, outside of Winslow, that little gem (Asteroid) was only a hundred yards or so across, or so they say! The one that caused a mass extinction, on the other hand, when it impacted off of the Yucatan Peninsular long before mankind put in an appearance, was far, far larger!!
Getting back on track, I find it amazing that with all of the political jive being shoveled around, our own nearly starving kids (12.2 Million worth), have to take a back seat to the demands of other (foreign) nations?! It is my opinion that: ?Concern for the rest of the world is laudable, but taking care of our own (FIRST) is (or should be) mandatory!!!!"
And remember this, those brave, young American kids out there in harm?s way, are now being threatened with combat pay cuts! Should this occur (God Forbid), the numbers of Americans suffering in poverty will climb dramatically! But hey, to quote Marie Antoinette and a few in politics: ?If our people have no bread, then let them eat cake!??
ADDENDUM - I just got one of those advertisers (pleas for funds) in the mail, and if the figures on it were correct, it would seem that one out of every five "AMERICAN KIDS" go to bed hungry, each and every night!? "Great job oh noble politicians!!"
