Almost half of US families can't afford basics like rent and food

join the NG, they will pay for your tuition and fees, guarantee you 4 years in the same town, as long as you're passing your classes, pay you $800 a month during school, and you'll get to keep your 6k of pell grant money. So you'll be getting paid 1k per month to go to college. and still be free to get 12k per year of college loans, if you like. I suggest, tho, that you avoid doing so and just live in a minivan, at least until you have your RN license and that $25 an hour job as a nurse. You can work it part time, go to school full time, keep that NG money coming, keep setting up those boarding houses that clear you 20k a year each.

This CNN video and article whines about how nearly 51 million American households are on the verge of starvation and homelessness.

Many of these folks are the nation's child care workers, home health aides, office assistants and store clerks, who work low-paying jobs and have little savings, the study noted. Some 66% of jobs in the US pay less than $20 an hour.

$800 per week before taxes. I guess that’s why Pelosi called the recent tax cuts bread crumbs. When one only makes $3,200 per month before taxes, a hundred or so more in the pocket just doesn’t seem like much to someone who lives in a million dollar plus compound, has lots of servants [making their miserable wages] and rides around in limos and private jets.

Notice that the CNN experts don’t suggest anything to improve it.

This should be one of the things Democrats run on.

Cuz we know Republicans simply don't give a flying fuk.

Look at Appalachia. The 10 poorest counties in America are 98% white. Many people living there don't have running water or electricity. But they vote Trump/GOP. Because for them, it's all about race.

Only 15% of tax cut went to raises for employees. 60% went to share holders. The rest went to automation to get rid of workers! The deficit that shrank every year under Obama, is exploding under Trump, causing massive inflation!!!

It's because those of us who work are taxed up the ass to support those of you who don't.

Welfare families have a better standard of living than the working class can afford..and the working class pay for it.
