Poverty in the super power America? The richest countries in the world?
Yes, poverty is a reality in America, just as it is for millions of other human beings on Africa. According to the US Census Bureau, 35.9 million people live below the poverty line in America.
On Aljazeera channel today 7th of Nov, they brought pictures from Newyork city showing many Americans poor living outside buildings in every place they can find for sitting and sleeping and of course without eating or drinking. They wait for someone to bring them a charity or food!!..
-In 2004, requests for emergency food assistance increased by an average of 14 percent during the year, according to a 27-city study by the United States Conference of Mayors.
-Also in this study, it was noted that on average, 20 percent of requests for emergency food assistance have gone unmet in 2004.
-According to the Bread for the World Institute, 3.5 percent of U.S. households experience hunger. Some people in these households frequently skip meals or eat too little, sometimes going without food for a whole day. 9.6 million people, including 3 million children, live in these homes.
-America's Second Harvest, the nation's largest network of food banks, reports that 23.3 million people turned to the agencies they serve in 2001, an increase of over 2 million since 1997. Forty percent were from working families.
33 million Americans continue to live in households that did not have an adequate supply of food. Nearly one-third of these households contain adults or children who eat little and sometimes going without food for a whole day while they see the high spending of war in Iraq.
And that's the way it is, Americans poor see the result:

more high spending for the war. The total of the U.S. taxpayer cost of the Iraq War reached near $ 218 billions,
more poverty to the American nation,
more unemployment,
more inflation,
more and high energy prices,
more killing of American soldiers,
and more hate to the enemy of Iraqi people.
