The claim by Democrats is their “Covid bill” will cut child poverty by 46%. So now we can track the rapid fall of child poverty down to around 7.8%.
How long until we get there?
Nearly 11 million children are living in poverty in America. Here is how the crisis reached this point—and what steps must be taken to solve it.

Child poverty is describe as someone living in a home where the total home income is less than half the median income in the country. It is a sad situation, but is common to developed (in fact prosperous) nations. I am glad to see it addressed, yet doubtful of success. I just hope they do not come out with a label "the war on child poverty". When you declare war on something, it usually means you have already lost.

Nice decade old numbers, Cletus.
Right on the old numbers. Looks like the Obama years in the interim saw improvement in the 20.5% number as people got back to work, through the years of trump to get to the April 2020 number, until he bungle the messaging on Covid and screwed the economy. Historical perspective are cool, aren't they?
Child poverty rate was 18% in 2016, so Barry didn’t do shit. It fell under Trump.

Nah, only if it goes down.
Obama Rule......credit for anything good, anything bad is someone elses fault.
Nope. Any movement in the near future is based on what a president inherits. The economy doesn't turn on a dime.
I see we are back to the Obama rule......anything bad on Veggie Joe’s watch is because of Trump.
Nope, not what I said. You should go back to school and finish reading compression classes.
Crisis at the border.......on Trump or Veggie Joe?
Crisis at the border??
LOLOL
Is your thread such a monumental fail, you're already diverting from it??
Your diversion aside? What crisis? Why are you clutching at your pearl necklace again, drama queen?

Officials on the border, though, say they have little doubt the surge in numbers, and the return of catch-and-release policies, is a crisis.
