Poverty is Getting Worse

All indications are that poverty is not only getting worse, it is approaching third world status in many areas. To aggravate the problem actions and agencies which in the past alleviated the misery - such as unemployment insurance, medicare, access to higher education, and social security - are now being dismantled or diminished. The chances to climb out of poverty are diminishing and there is a sophisticated effort to portray poor people as lazy moochers off of society rather than hold policy makers of both parties accountable.

This is not the result of an accident or natural disaster. It is the result of decades of government policy by both democrats and republicans.

This will have disastrous consequences as we head towards a more and more unequal society. For verification see reference 2 on economic graphs and the below references.
