Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this: The estimated 1.8 percentage-point increase in 2009 is the largest year-to-year uptick since the U.S. started calculating poverty figures in 1959.
This news came out a few hours after Obama held his press conference telling everyone not to worry, that the recovery is booming......
Tell all your liberal friends !!!
Those are pretty telling statistics...should be used in campaign ads...
It’s news only when a Republican is in the White House.

I don’t know.
First time I’ve ever heard of poverty in a Democrat administration.
I wish I could claim so.....
I’d rather be the party of no than the party of a poverty of ideas.
Stupid is as stupid does.
Except for LBJs “war on poverty” (yeh...like that really helped)/sarc
