Reminds me of a local news about a family that hadn't fixed their furnace because they had no money, but when the camera panned around the living room, there, larger than life was a plasma screen tv. (If that's what those flat screen thingy's that hang on the wall are called?)

That made an impression on our local populace who mailed the tv station to that effect.

This whole article is another example of the bizarre world view (I can't spell weltenschuung) of clueless self styled "journalists" who will repeat ridiculous assertions about poverty like, "studies show that there are 35 million people in America who suffer from hunger, or "40 million below the poverty line."
Most of there people are in debt, not poverty, because of the way they choose to spend.
