poverty news

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Poverty in the United States is spreading from rural and inner-city areas to the suburbs, according to a study, a situation that can worsen as the economy confronts what may be a protracted recession.

"While the case studies in this report point to unique factors that accompanied rising poverty in each of these communities, the negative consequences ring familiar across places, big and small ... African American, white, Latino and Native American."

-> any news about the death of the american dream makes me happy. Although, I don't know what protracted recession means. It's probably the same thing as stagflation. Does this mean it's impossible to become rich now?

-> I hope the rich loose everything, and become just as ghetto as me! I'm the only one who really understands loss and suffering on such a fundamental level. Money only destroyes relationships in the first place.
