  • There are 37.9 million Americans living in poverty, accounting for 11.6% of the total population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
  • The number reported by the Census Bureau is based on the official poverty measure, which has remained virtually unchanged since the mid-1960s
  • As a response, the Census Bureau developed the Supplemental Poverty Measure in 2011 as an improvement over the existing measure.
  • But some experts say that even the SPM falls short of accurately measuring poverty in the U.S.

Instead of just writing "Americans", I suppose it would be instructive to also give a racial profile of the 37.9 million peepur or 11.6%.

African Americans living in ghetto?
White Americans
Asian Americans?

AFAIK, there is an imbalance in opportunites in a country that is supposed to be a land of milk and honey that attracted so many peepur from various countries to its shores.

And if you are white, you have advantages.

as Thomas Jefferson said.................

''if the American people ever let the control of their currency fall into private hands, their descendants will end up poor and homeless''

Whites and Asians have the lowest poverty rate with both at 8.6%. Blacks (17.1%), Hispanics and Others (16.9%) are at the other end.

So the ugly truth is out. Certain groups are clearly discriminated. Well, you know, BLM. Black lives matter.

You see, there are certain peepur, let's call them CCP ibs for accuracy and precision  Big Grin , who upon seeing your thread will right away sing the PRC national anthem and scoff at the US.

That's too simplistic lor. 

As a matter of fact, the US has a seemingly intractable domestic problem of racial discrimination, and if one compares China with the US, he is in fact comparing China with only the discriminated groups in the US.

I thank every god I know that here in Singapore, we don't have this...

rich then many start to become poor. then too many poor. eventually civil war to redistribute wealth.

Not just China. Countries with a long enough history will go through it. Korea, France, Russia etc that I know of. There should be many more that I am not aware of. They don't have as many revolutions as China due to China's long history.

The Hispanic and others poverty are normally from the illegal immigrants. Staying in US.
As for the blacks poverty, it is a long story. Even Obama cannot help.
