Perhaps Biden will try to get his boss to stop sabotaging the American economy and jobs? So people can escape the poverty being forced on them by the “transformation” of USA into a (third- world tin- pot dictatorship).

Isn’t that about how much Vice President and Dr. Biden give to charity each year?

If they are that worried about it maybe they should get Slow Joe to donate a little more to charity.

I think that a new religion will be the Biden family’s next step:

No one in the US eats on $1.5 per day and most of the poor have nice TVs and cell phones. The cost of living in these other countries like India is extremely low due to the low wages. So the whole exercise is a pile of BS

If they want to help the poor then lower taxes and grow the US economy. Then people will have more jobs and those that already have jobs will have more money for charity

Hey, not hard to do if you can go and catch a dozen fish with a $.99 pack of soft plastic lures that lasts for several months. I caught enough crappie in April to last us most of the summer and used about half a dozen jigs.

Throw in a few taters and lettuce salad makings and we can live on $1.50 per day easily. Just waiting for the tomatoes, turnips, cucumbers and other veggies. $.75 of leaf lettuce and turnips is enough for several seasons.

His group funds programs in countries such as Kenya

So Biden, the VP of the US, shows alliance to other countries such as Kenya - while the administration he is apart of - are taxing Americans into poverty and other Americans to stay in poverty. And with business' either closing or down sizing because of obamacare that they pushed through w/o reading it AND against the will of the people.

UnAmerican is the only way to describe this administration and all it's ilk.

I don’t claim to know economics, but I believe the standard of living is different in these 3rd World countries, so $1.50 might actually go farther than here. As for this country, the social programs — and charity spirit of the Americans — make $1.50 a day a moot point.

People like Biden have an amazingly simplistic view of poverty, for which there is no silver bullet because it has different causes — bad luck, mental illness, corrupt governments, poor distribution, etc. Unfortunately, some things like war, hunger, cancer aren’t easily curable or resolved.

There might be a childish appeal behind quiltmaking, pink ribbons, OWS demonstrations, but ultimately they’re all kind of sad.

"Hunter Biden, chairman of the board of World Food Program USA, is living on $1.50 worth of food for five days. Beau and their mother, Jill, are participating for one day."

One day? Fasting for one or two days a week ($0) has its advocates for both weight control and longevity.

I doubt most people subsisting on $1.50 have the same food prices as people who live in developed countries.

It’s always a laugh riot to watch rich people slumming.

As if it meant anything at all.

Wow. I eat from very nearly twice that much money spent here, in the USA, while that amount goes much further in poor countries. Biden and family are out of touch with America.

Maybe they’re just saving up to buy a shotgun and some shells.
