What a joke The Hill has become
Manipulation of data.

Very soon the US is going to go belly up. The infrastructure has already been destroyed in many ways. Soon there will be more hungry children than you can count. Along with almost everyone else. The borrowing game is so nearing the end.
Child poverty? Is there a widespread problem with the way parents handle their allowance?
