The US has been warned about its high poverty rate in the International Monetary Fund's annual assessment of the economy.
The fund said about one in seven people were living in poverty and that it needed to be tackled urgently.
It recommended raising the minimum wage and offering paid maternity leave to women to encourage them to work.
The report also cut the country's growth forecast for 2016 to 2.2% from a previous prediction of 2.4%.
Slower global growth and weaker consumer spending were blamed.

Shut the heck up, IMF.
I am warning you that socialists without biblical morals will go to Hell without God.
If we executed the poor, the IMF would be happy?
They forgot to mention: .... and vote 'Rat/Hitliary.
How about we just keep the money we send to the IMF and use it at home? A lot less poverty automatically.
Pay people under the age of 30 currently on public assistance $1,000 to be sterilized
OK, include them too: IMFexit!
We still have poverty because the politicians spend money to make them dependent on them so they get their votes. Free cell phones for deadbeats. Explain that, other than buying votes. Money is not spent to end welfare, but to extend it. SInce Obozo took office, transfer payments are up 31%. My SS check: 0.1%. Term limits is sounding better and better.
-— what a bunch of dribble, Adam Smith the great Classical Economist must be rolling in his grave. We are ruled by globalist fools.
A great many of those who live in poverty don’t have jobs and pay for those working has bees suppressed by illegal alien labor and runaway H1B visas.
Well, see, the elitist morons in Europe want our welfare dollars to go to THEIR poor, not ours... to them, our poor are expendable cannon fodder.
The real picture though included two roomates, some support from my folks and had finished grad school.
In my case, poverty was temporary. Yet these pinheads expect I would perpetually be in poverty making no allowance for upward mobility.
wait...the IMF is absolutely right and to address the situation, we are going to KEEP funds scheduled to go to the IMF, to address our own poverty needs.
Of course, you will now have to go to the other member countries to make up the IMF shortfall.
Thank you for pointing this out to us.
Make America Great Again
Kill the IMF
So when’s Ovomit gonna help the brothers? I think they’re getting tired of waiting nearly 8 years. At least they got a phone. They can eat that, right?
“...still time to get it back but if these Hillary supporters don’t wake the f up we are finished.”
About time for a Fedxit.
Bring it on. We will not be intimidated. Flee our country. We are pissed.
Oh, come on. Everybody knows we are importing it to beat the band.
“The report also cut the country’s growth forecast for 2016 to 2.2% from a previous prediction of 2.4%.”
Hmmm...was it “unexpected”??
The system is probably rigged to tank the economy immediately after the Trump election. That, I expect. Following in the fine tradition of Obama, Trump can blame Obama over it for a long time. At least 7 years, I would think.

Real simple response to this... Oh you didn’t get your latest check from US? We’re sorry we’ll be giving it to our citizens from now on.
