feh...730 bucks a year? BS!
Food stamps pay around that in a month. You could work one day a week at McDonalds and blow that away.
If we threw in the calculated value of schooling, per child - in many countries, education is a cash outlay - we'd find the some really useful information about the "poor" of the United States. On the other hand, all reasonable people know that most of the per-pupil cost contributes nothing to the child's education, so maybe we can leave that out!
There is no possible way to even put a roof over your head for $60 per month. What number of these people are criminals or participate in the underground economy. If public assistance isn’t going to the poorest and neediest, than it’s time to take able bodied men and women off the public assistance rolls and tell them to get an freakin’ job and pay taxes.
Michelle: sixteen vacations and counting.
Let them eat Kikes...
BS....They’re not on the street...and that means more than $2 a day for a start. Any kid in school is getting more than that in free food. And he/she ain’t naked.
Are most of them here illegally?
“More than 1.46 million families in the U.S. are living on $2 or less per day, a new study found.”
“Two dollars or less per day translates to about $60 per person, per month.”
WOW... That means there must be 1.46 million ONE person families! I didn’t that one person was considered a family.
This must be public school math skills at work!
A single homeless person would have a hard time living on $5 a day.
They certainly couldn’t afford to smoke.
n 2011, nearly 50 percent of the households were headed by white non-Hispanics
****************
That settles it. They can no longer claim calling Obama the food stamp president is racist.
... not counting Food Stamps, Section 8, Wic etc...
or criminal or other unreported income.
what a headline LOL!
Wasnt there an article this morning counter these facts on how rich our poor peoples are? I forget the title . . .
Ridiculous.
A single American would find it very difficult or impossible to obtain adequate calories alone, on $2.00 for a single day, assuming they had access to a kitchen, stove and refrigerator.
To do it homeless would be pretty much impossible, to succeed at it for a long period of time is impossible.
A can of Pork and beans has 385 calories, a 12 oz. can of Bacon Spam has 1080, a 99 cent Breakfast Jack has 290 calories, to keep finding 2000 to 3500 calories a day for $2.00 in America would be quite a challenge, and they are claiming “families”.
The figures are so rediculous that one might expect the IRS to take an interest...sarc...
This is more Unicorn flatulence from the “expert” spinmasters.
Living on $2.00 per day would be easy for me if I never had to pay for anything like food,clothing,shelter,medical care,child care,and transportation.
No problem,no problem at all.
This “study” is a crock.
Don't know of a lot of one-person households. And they're only counting public assistance programs that give out cash into this mix. So, WIC and EBT and free cell phones and free school breakfast and lunch and lowered rent and utilities and free healthcare don't factor into this equation. In other words, it's all smoke and mirrors.
BS. 400/mo TANF money, 800 Food stamps, 1000 housing, .80 a day for daycare, free gas cards and bus passes, 40/month electric, 20/internet, free cell phones. Why work? Hell, they are living better than me. I starting to think im the one screwed up in the head.
feh...
