Nice post, SA. I have many reactions, ranging from 'Sigh' to '@#$%%$^&' to 'we have met the enemy and he is us' to 'Isn't it the pits when someone brings facts and data into a discussion'. What is clear, IMHO, is that the status quo or doing nothing is no longer an option.
Yep, unfortunately, maps like that, expose the good, bad and the ugly. I personally think, the numbers are way underreported. The survey claims about 11 million, I believe 30 million more realistic! Clearly a strain on states social services. And yes, way overdue to be addressed!
One of my main concerns are people not being tested for infectious diseases (TB) etc.! There hasn't been one word uttered, or spoken in congressional debates on this issue.
