First here's the nature of reporting about the new poverty numbers by the 'mainstream media'.http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/almost-1-in-6-americans-living-below-poverty-line-2354789.html
In case you hadn't considered it, the picture in that report is the worst of the worst. It would be foolish(!) to think that the average person living below the poverty level in America lives in conditions anything like that. Check out the next link for clarification.
'The Media' reports sound really, really bad don't they? Yeah, well they have a motivation to make it seem that bad. It's funny how information can be manipulated to serve a political purpose. Check out the facts behind those numbers here:

Be very, very careful swallowing what The Media serves you in its so-called news. Develop a habit of looking behind the information they spin to you and find out the real facts for yourself before you make rash judgements based on what they say.
