UN finds 'extreme poverty' in the USA : Comments

By Russell Grenning, published 17/7/2018

The report deliberately excluded from any consideration of the more than $US1.2 trillion of annual cash and in-kind redistributions to low-income US citizens.

Trickle down economics and its finest hour!

And bound to head further in the same direction due to the blinkered recalcitrant, intransigent ideologues, who are blind to the facts and the prime part they play in the very, going backwards, result!

A ruinous war would fix it and all while massively improving the bottom line of the weapons and armament industries, sending their profit curve into orbit. Along with any prospect of our future as a species?

Not for nothing is it writ large, a fool never learns!

The corrupt United Nations is very good at 'finding' all sorts of things 'wrong' with the West; not so good at calling out the equally corrupt and barbarous Third World that it toadies to.

So you're not finding fault with the reported stats ttbn, just those who have highlighted it?

TALK ABOUT, HEARTLESS CALLOUS INDIFFERENCE OR i'M ALRIGHT JACK!

Were that you stood in those 12.5 % or so, shoes!

Repeat earlier comment!

Meanwhile why not do a search on the book The Other America by Michael Harrington, and the general topic poverty in America.

It seems that he was unaware of the fact that in rural areas in America people dig their own wells for water and provide their own septic system for sewerage. Even the rich must do it. No government is going to spend taxpayer's money digging a sewer line for twenty or fifty kilometres to serve one house.

Just like we do here in Tasmania , and anywhere else "rural " that doesn't have mains water.... ie geographically , most of Australia ! Somehow , I don't consider myself at the bottom of the world's financial heap ..
