America didn’t have a problem “hiding” from it’s “deep poverty problem” when Obama was president.
Where was this a$$hole eight years ago? Or six years ago? Or four years ago? Or two years ago?
Oh, that's right, there was no poverty in the United States until mid-January 2017...
Well, yeah, but that’s because ObaMao and lots of other elites housed and fed all of those poor people at their own expense.
I suspect that most of them are illegal aliens, not Americans.
Yep. They were imported from Mexico.
People living in real third-world poverty also rarely report having their utilities cut off - mostly because they've never had any utilities that could be cut off.
How many of those alleged 5 million “Americans” are actually Americans and not illegals? I’d guess very few.
You mean the dirty tent cities where people take a piss or a dump on the road?
$4 is preposterous. I seriously doubt that you could buy enough calories to prevent starvation. That would be a box of cereal and no milk.
Take it from someone who regularly visits Portland, Seattle, San Fran, and L.A., it’s true.
I regularly travel about 1/2 the country in the west and south- east to west- and see obesity not famine. I take that as a good indicator, albeit not 100 % conclusive.
RE: Take it from someone who regularly visits Portland, Seattle, San Fran, and L.A., its true.
And how much in welfare, food stamps, Medicaid, housing assistance etc. will they be eligible for?
Why do they not apply for these?
How many have been sold the lie that the gov’t would take care of them?
How many are drug addicts who would otherwise be capable of supporting themselves?
As long as the bottomefeeding “democrats” continue to import third world poverty into America in order to beef up their voter base of retards, there is going to be a lot of “third world poverty” in this country. It’s not rocket science. If we are going to import poverty into this country, I don’t want to hear about “da po’ folks”. You can’t pour gasoline on a fire and expect to put it out.
Not really. A McDouble, which may be had for a $1 provides half the calories you need for a day:

Ok, so you don’t starve. But you’ll freeze to death without shelter and heat.
$4 is still preposterous. You cannot survive on that unless you have other sources of income not being counted...as the author posits.
Probably - and mostly because they ARE Third Worlders, bringing their poverty and squalor here.
That’s because we can no longer hold people who are mentally ill. Most who are on the street fall into this category. They refuse toxin together help.
Does this ostensible sub-$4/day income include welfare or not?
