  • Why do these news stories always sell bigger government. The poverty rate in the US was falling from it's creation in 1776 until the late 1960's when these programs calcified poverty and the rate has not changed much since the "great society" was started. If it weren't for politics these programs would have been canceled as failures an other (better) things would have been tried.

  • who can afford to support 7 children? solution to poverty: DON'T HAVE CHILDREN THAT YOU CAN NOT AFFORD TO SUPPORT!

  • 0:50 (no offense cuz I'm fat ,too) she doesnt seem to be hungry without free food am i right? :D

  • This concern isn't new. Even if its just one kid there is something wrong.

  • If you are even $3 above their exact number cutt off they wont give u any assistance at all. Thats where my family currently is. We are $50 above the poverty line and they will not help us at all. My wife was a preschool teacher for 6 years, lost her job & has been looking for a job for 2 years and Nothing. .

  • STRAIGHT OUTTA COMPTON

  • Anchor babies!! Jeez go figure

  • ads freezing up my puter

  • USA is actually not a very advanced country. 

  • Tragic.

  • This video answers its own question! the poverty is driven by the lack of state support! financial support for families that means something! they are the forgotten population that the state has chosen to sweep under a very big carpet! its always these people who are the first to suffer even though they had nothing to do with the credit crunch

  • stagflation from the bust of 2007 and 2008 and the loss of certain jobs is causing this mess

  • Poverty in USA? talk about poverty in africa..

  • @laqin007

    the niggahs in africa have like 20 kids but the parents cant even feed them selfs..

  • @laqin007 America is a first world country though! no one would be at all surprised to see scenes like this in Africa!

  • DONT HAVE FUCKING KIDS YOU FUCKING DUMB PEICE OF FUCKING SHIT GOD DAMMIT WHAT THE FUCK WERE A FUCKING CONDOM AND DONT HAVE KIDS YOU CANT AFFORD

  • I worked for the sixth largest US corporation that in the last four out of five years they were in business paid NO TAXES AT ALL. When I attended some senior management meeting, a frequent subject was EUGENICS. Eugenics is the "culling out" of the species to make a master race and was used by the NAZIS to eliminate minorities and people they didn't like. They rationalized their actions in all sorts of ways just like conservatives do today.

  • @exenrontexas Hi Just a quick FYI. Eugenics were actually "created" in the United States. We taught the Germans how to do what they did. Our scientists and medical personal took the science to Germany for Hitler. We were already using the processes here to cull our herds of "undesirables" long before the Germans did. Don't take my word for it. Look it up. I personally know some mentally retarded people that were sterilized as young people and don't even know it. True.

  • @doinkusamongus I agree with you and I have heard that from other sources and I also heard that one of the early supporters of eugenics was Prescott BUSH and he was involved with the exportation of the idea to Germany through his business partner, Fritz Thyssen, who just happened to be the wealthy German industrialist who financed Hitler's rise to power. The roots and true purpose of the conservative movement is in social Darwinism or survival of the fitest. It is an anti-Christian view.

  • Why more child poverty? CONSERVATIVE GREED. Many conservatives claim to be Christian, but their actions speak far louder than their words. Jesus will not know them.

  • @exenrontexas OR CONDOM SALES WENT DOWN AND HIGHSCHOOL DROP OUTS WENT UP

  • @exenrontexas These Conservatives are hypocrites of the worst kind! exspousing their faith on one hand whilst on the other hand they are chocking off state aid to the poor and voting against programmes that would benefit those in need!

  • @katakisLives I agree but it is even deeper than that. Social Darwinism is strongly supported by conservatives and for many years. Prescott BUSH was the initial backer of EUGENICS in America and exported the idea to Germany. They believe in the "culling out" of "defective" humans. That is what conservatives are doing today. Jesus fed the poor, healed the sick and did not judge them. That is the opposite of the conservative mantra.

  • @exenrontexas Exactly! they hide behind religion to give their cause legitimacy often posing as champions of the people when in fact its all just smoke and mirrors! the poor can drop dead as far as they're concerned, I've heard of this "social Darwinism" these guys are motivated by sinister goals.

  • use condom u mexican!!!!

  • man if my word counted as much as some one who matterd shit would be less fucked up but shit would be better because no one like my logical thinking but dosnt mean there nothing gunna be shoved up your ass

  • Perhaps a family including seven overweight kids with a trace of a Spanish accent loading into their late-model SUV does not reinforce the message CBS wanted to send on childhood poverty. If anything, it will agitate those against immigration and those citizens who need public assistance, but are too proud to beg. Could this video be a subtle backhanded attempt by CBS to gain sympathy for Republicans?

  • can't afford to have kids? DON'T HAVE ONE.

  • Wow. Kids look like they probably just came over the border.

  • It's a cycle. The more intelligent people in a population tent to have less kids and the less educated ones almost always have higher number of offspring. So this is more of a problem with balance. Basically we need more working individuals to pay tax and give out welfare checks. Do not get me wrong. I do not support welfare and anything like this but it's something that happens naturally. If lower class people stop having 7 kids then our population will no longer grow. Basically economy helps

  • Does it make me a bad person for cracking up when the kid said I want to be an FBI agent?

  • No money and have 7 kids? What do they expect? Expect others to feed your kids? C'mon...

  • @benkenser It is somewhat perplexing why some of the poorest families seem to have the most children! I think that part of it is that if you are at the bottom of society will few prospects there isn't much else to do than have children! when you are poor everything suffers including education.

  • @benkenser You don't know this familie's past! So be cool!

    An other thing, with all that is happening today.. with the economics you could be the next one starving!

    I bet 20% is a conservative number I'm sure that it's more higher than that... just look at the number of foodstamp given!

  • @benkenser

    yes thats one of things i could NEVER understood about poor people.I mean its okay to be poor simply because not everybody can be rich , but why the hell they all have more than 2 kids even they very KNOW that they are even then struggeling , i will never get that!

  • And 2011? why do they live in poverty? because your Government wants it that way, it would rather bomb an innocent child in Iraq than give an American child a good life.

  • child poverty? Um... every child is poor because we have laws that prevents them from ever getting a job. dumbasses. How do you people think our grandfathers survived the Great Depression?

  • It's not rocket science, just look back for the past 3 years to see why it spiked so much.

    Also, how dare you imply that poverty stricken children will likely be unemployed adults! Nice way of feeding into the class system.

  • Try no good jobs for parents-quite simple

  • This world is going to hell in a handbasket, courtesy of Wall Street, Big Buisness, Oil Corperations, and Defense Contractors. We need another revolution.

  • @mr19932001 dude it's not anyone buy their own fault for having 7 kids

  • @Theiammadmad It's not their fault they want a large family. Back in the day, people were actually able to afford to have large families, then 1981 came along and the assalt on the middle class began thanks to Reagan, Wall Street, Big Buisness, Oil Corperations, and Defense Contractors. R.I.P. to the middle Class of America: 1945-1980.

  • Rich man says: Well, that's not my problem, that's not my child. Who fault is it to have a child that you can't take care of?

    Poor people: I'm sorry but times are rough and I am trying my best to do what I can for my family. =(

    Rich man says: Well, I have the resource that can help you and your family out but I'm not gonna go out their and announce it because then I would have to help everyone else.

    Solution: ??? [REPLY]

  • @ernesdee2o916 No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. AESOP

  • All this while the US government rebuilds other countries! SMH!

  • Damn dude, fucking breaks my heart. Stupid ass politicians fighting each other raising taxes making life too expensive to live. Kids shouldn't suffer, no fucking way... thanks to these groups, they don't make front page news... but are my heroes.

  • =( very sad news indeed.

  • Trickle down economics is working Republicans?

  • @drrx8 A high tide raises all ships? yeah right! trickle down economics is a fantasy concept that has no bearing in reality!

  • hahaha this is what happen when u vote republican. Thank Based God i live in Maryland

  • Welcome to the New World Order!! People wake up!!!

  • stop having kids jees

  • @ristoril 6 siblings... *facepalm*

  • @ristoril

    you mean to say stop having sex .... mmmmm.

  • @opAir01 lol that will never happen

  • I CAN'T BELIEVE THE COMMENTS THAT YOU "ALL" HAVE SAID. THERE HAS "ALWAYS" BEEN POOR PEOPLE IN THE USA. YES I'LL SAY WE DO HAVE A LOT OF IMMIGRANTS, BUT WITH THAT SAID LOOK IN THE MORE RURAL AREAS AND OPEN YOUR EYES BECAUSE THERE YOU'LL FIND A LOT OF PEOPLE THAT ARE STARVING. OUR GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN AND STOP GIVING MONEY TO EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD. I WOULD HOPE YOU WOULDN'T DENY FOOD TO ANY PERSON THAT IS HUNGRY, ESPECIALLY A CHILD.

  • @doggiemom144 That was a great comment! What I want to know is why our government is giving money to every country? When our country is in debt? They are giving money away that we don't even have.

  • @shyanndreamcatcher And it usually winds

    up in the hands of crooked politicians!

  • Now days it better to live in a RV The cost of living is not as much..

  • Greedy and self--absorbed freaks that would rather watch a poor person suffer than give them a hand up!

  • how about 10% have 80% of all US assets...its dog eat dog and a jobless market is making matters worse...american families need to come to the conclusion that NOBODY GIVES A DAMN!...you study hard and spend through the nose for college in hopes that it will help you find a decent job but there are no guarantees that will happen...in today's economy if you don't have parents who did the right thing and saved or connections YOU ARE SHIT OUT OF LUCK!

  • When you can't get a job, and the economy is bad. The price of food and gas is going up. People are getting laid off from their jobs. People loosing their homes, and loosing there cars to repos. I don't think people planned for this to happen when they had their kids. They had jobs and the economy wasn't like it was today. So, to blame them for having kids is wrong. This problem is not going to just hit poor people, it is going to hit everyone, so rethink your comments.You people need to wake up

  • I can't believe anyone could

    pose this question!!! The answers:

    are so obvious...immigration from

    poor countries, huge families, job

    losses, the recession, the white collar

    crooks in real estate, S & Ls, Wall

    Street, rating agencies, etc. Doubt

    there's much child poverty in the Hamptons.Trillions swindled and who's

    in jail besides Madoff? Wonder why?

  • @Jeanne90275 if we had a fair system and lived in a free country where drugs weren't illegal, i don't think immigration would be a problem and both south of the border and US economy would be prospering...but you hit the nail on the head even though much more could be said.

  • Please don't have kids if you do not have a stable income. However, a lot of these people are having kids as a tool to exploit government benefit ! Sadly, but true... Lazy people are just lazy no matter what you look at it !

  • i dont necessarily hate illegals

    just those who POP kids to get welfare

    I FUCKING HATE THAT

  • @RayWilliamJohansen lets not be ignorant and pretend all other races including white is pure as the driven snow because fact is some whites act just as irresponsibly and expect welfare to foot the bill.

  • @chingon711

    i agree but its worst when illegals do it

    but yes

    you make a strong point

  • lol the USA is turning into a third world country. at least the people havent given up on their dreams.

  • @DeWellstein

    FUCK NO

    im poor but i live a ten times better than the people in mexico

  • @RayWilliamJohansen actually, people in mexico have more U.S. cash than you do... richest man alive, NO... A MEXICAN NAMED CARLOS SLIM?? It couldn't be, fucking AA rated POS... suck it slow you poor faggot.

  • @LosAngelesWeedSmoker

    lol he is not 100 % mexican

    he is also middle eastern

    and there are tons of millionairs in the USA and billionairs

    PLUS why do you think a lot of mexicans come to the USA

    and im mexican to

    so please go suck a dick or fuck your dad

    whatever gets you wet

  • @RayWilliamJohansen He parents are Lebanese, he was born in Mexico stupid ass... HA HA HA! You WANNA be Mexican, but you ain't... you just you're American, so which one is it dick rider riding some famous guys nuts, ha ha ha!

  • @RayWilliamJohansen i know i know, but still the USA has seen better days.

  • @DeWellstein

    yeah i miss those days...especially the 90s

  • @DeWellstein

    DAMN YOU BILL CLINTON

    you just couldnt keep it on your pants

  • @RayWilliamJohansen lol, what?!!

  • @DeWellstein

    he was doing a good job but had to leave office early because of the whole monica lawinski.kiki

    affair

  • @RayWilliamJohansen sadly that's how we men are. Our dicks come first. :D

  • govt reason to steal children americans are really blind to what in politics is really going on...

  • Send them back to Mexico , No more poverty here

  • @NB5BHVL

    or cheap fruit prices

  • @RayWilliamJohansen The fruit is not so cheap when you realize the we taxpayers spend $6-$8 thousand per pupil per year;

    more if the child has special needs. The ones who benefit are the people who hire illegals

    as cheap labor...nannies, gardeners, maids, housekeepers, hotel workers...the list goes

    on and on.

  • @Jeanne90275

    i agree with that

    but thats why i am in favor of deporting

    illegals who dont work in the AG business and by that i mean

    picking vegs. fruits with your hands and stuff

    americans can be maids, gardeners, house keepers etc

    but not many

    well a lot of illegals work in ag related jobs

  • @jeanne @ray Good luck getting "them" people working on the service industry. A slim chance, boy. I used to go a DC where most of the people (dock lumpers) lasted only two weeks, and then quit. Some white, some black, some asian, but a whole lot o' mexicans unloading my 53' trailer (I get to talk with em a bit). Dunno why, but the gov't must raise the minimum wage, uphold the Constitution, take away them taxes and go after the criminal banksters and scumbags at the public office!

  • STOP FUCKING HAVING BABIES THEN!i should feel sorry for the parents?

  • @MrYonomequejo

    i agree with you

    even though i am mexican

  • @RayWilliamJohansen I agree that huge

    families are no longer affordable. I am

    university educated with a good job, but

    there's no way I could adequately house,

    feed, clothe, and educate through college,

    6-8 children, even with my parents' help.

  • horrible reality.
