"I think you dropped something!!"

This is beyond depressing.
I don’t feel one iota for them as a state. They have picked and chosen to live like this through what they have elected to government and coddling the equivalent of several large cities worth of illegal immigrants.
I know that the people that can leave are or have.
To see poverty and misery on this scale is just gut wrenching to see and when the checks stop coming the bloodshed will be biblical, just horrific.
More than 6 million fewer in Mexico are now living in poverty.
They have pics of people picking up food. Out of 4 pics, 1 is white and 3 have Mexican surnames.
It just gives California government an excuse to promote stealing more money from the haves to hand it over to the have nots.
I saw that...Had to be sure to find one white couple. Also, those vans they have sure look nice...Hmmm.
Not after food stamps, welfare and all of the other handouts they get.
Do you remember the article that said a family of four earning $29,000 lives better than a family of four earning $59,000, due to all of the government handouts?
"I think you dropped something!!"
“More than 6 million Californians now living in poverty”
Well, there’s only one solution: increase taxes and redistribute the wealth to those who need it most!
I would add the “sarcasm off” tag, but this is EXACTLY what they’re going to do.
What defense is sarcasm against the inevitabilities of leftism?
While I believe California is largely infested by liberals (actual citizens) in their heavily populated areas of SF, Oakland, LA, etc., tying an ambiguous ‘poor’ connotation to an even more ambiguous description of ‘the group’ is even more specious. I’d be willing to be, a majority of the ‘Californians’ they say are ‘poor’ are, in fact, illegal aliens - undeserving of any public welfare.
If they are starving here, then go the hell home. We don’t want you here. You add no value to our stewpot.
obama needs those votes.
How many illegally came to California from south of the border with nothing in their pockets and applied for aid or even have a cash paying job that they then use to wire money back home?
Exactly! If you count those things those counted as poor are sometimes better off than those that don’t qualify for help.
Unless you’re one of “Holder’s People”, in which case your food stamps count as income:
snip-”Instead of using passé measures of creditworthiness such as, say, credit history and having an adequate income, ACORN convinced lenders to adopt “more flexible underwriting criteria that take into account the realities of lower income communities.” Henceforth, some banks serving inner cities would accept “less traditional income sources such as food stamps.”

If you’re living on more than world median income ($2/day) you’re not poor.
The “poverty line” is 20x that.
And when you reward lawbreakers, with countless handouts, how can the numbers of those people increase?
Like you, I just don't get it. /s
I wonder how that economic genius Paul Krugman feels about this?

Yeah, so do I. /s
Good point.
