About Me:
 
More than thirty-seven million Americans live below the official poverty line (which is now $21,203 for a family of four), and more than 13.3 million children are poor in this country. Inequality has reached record highs it is greater than at any time since 1929. Growing portions of the nations wealth have been concentrated in the possession of a small fraction of households, while a full 30 percent of us are trying to get by on incomes less than 200 percent of the federal poverty line (or about $42,000 for a family of four). Well before the current crisis, 6 million low income households were paying more than half their income on rent and utilities, or lived in severely substandard housing. Over the course of a year, more than 35 million people in 12.6 million households could not always afford adequate food. Now, increasing unemployment, high prices for gas and food, and a continuing foreclosure crisis are putting growing numbers of families at risk, exacting a high moral and economic cost on all Americans. The problems faced by economically struggling people have been exacerbated by lack of affordable child care, health care, transportation, and other structures necessary to make sure work pays; dangerous predatory lending practices; barriers to unionization; cuts in social spending; and exclusionary politics at all levels that hobble meaningful public participation and accountability in government.
