U.S. Poverty Rate Rises to 12.7 Percent - New York Times

That's six million more Americans living in poverty now than when Bush took office in 2000. Total number of Americans now living in poverty: 37 Million

The last time the poverty rate was this high -- 12.7% --- was 1993, just after W.'s dad left office.

Like I've said -- now is the time to be very, very rich in the U.S. Everyone else is losing ground.
