Poverty in America means something totally different than it does in the rest of the world
In America poor people eat junk food in the rest of the world they eat nothing at all
Poor in America has an Obama phone poor in the Congo has flies covering them
Not even close

Considering our wealth we shouldn't have the levels of poverty that we do.

More consequences of Liberalism. Unbelievable. Businesses and citizens have to file a lawsuit to keep the city from putting up this tent city. This is the future of America with Nancy , Chuck and the gang.


A planned city-sanctioned camp meant to handle the ballooning homeless population spreading through the streets of Washington's capital city is now on hold, after a judge stopped its opening Monday.


Thurston County Superior Court Judge James Dixon granted the motion for a temporary restraining order, saying he wanted to hear more evidence before issuing a permanent ruling on the camp in Olympia after a lawsuit was filed by nearby businesses, The Olympian reported.


“This is not a final hearing on the merits," Dixon said in court. "It would be incorrect for any person to assume — let alone conclude — that this court has or will make a ruling that the city does not have a right or an obligation to continue [opening] the mitigation site."

Before the judge's order came down, city officials had moved roughly 100 people into 73 tents at the site before being told to stop, the paper reported.

The city tried to open the camp after declaring a public health emergency last summer. An estimated 300 tents were scattered between three different sites in downtown Olympia. The camp was supposed to open in a city-owned parking lot.

As we’ve seen tents go from 30 to 300 a couple weeks ago, the city has decided we really want to do something to mitigate this issue,” Olympia’s Homeless Response Coordinator Colin DeForrest told Q13 News ahead of the camp's expected opening.

City officials hoped the new camp would help transition people to a safer environment. The new encampment, called a mitigation site, has a fenced perimeter and room for about 100 tents.

The camp was not a perfect solution, but it was a start "to really mitigate the human suffering and the health concerns that are down here,” DeForrest said.

“The camps are public health catastrophes and are already taxing public safety resources with aide calls, assaults and illegal activities” including opiate abuse, prostitution and violent crime, according to the plaintiffs’ complaint obtained by The Olympian.

The four plaintiffs in the lawsuit, who were listed as John Does in court documents, said they worried about their safety.

Another hearing on the case is set for Dec. 21, when the judge has asked to hear from the city on its communication with the business owners involved in the lawsuit, in addition to other arguments. The judge may also order the plaintiffs to identify themselves, according to The Olympian.

Of course poverty will always exist. But the US ranks at the bottom of most poverty measures vs other top developed nations. We also have far fewer safety nets. We do even worse on child poverty.

We are also ten times the size of the other countries listed. Part of the issue that people don’t want to face is that illegal immigration is a cause of this. People come into the country, take jobs for below minimum wage and don’t pay any taxes into the system. It is impossible to be all things to all people and you can’t begin to address poverty if you have no concept of population growth. Most issues are better handled at the state level, which are about the size of many smaller countries. Streamline the do nothing federal government. Only defense spending should go through the Fed.

You clearly don't understand the concept of percentages and indices to enable statisticians to compare seemingly incomparable figures.

As for states handling poverty - are you high? The states with the highest poverty rates are also the states that rank lowest on education, one of the key things that can lift people out of poverty. They also are states that are some of the biggest recipients of federal aid. Without federal poverty programs people in those states would be in even worse shape. Many of those states don't want to expand medicaid or any kind of health insurance for their most vulnerable - children. Only two of the poorest states have a higher than average hispanic population, shooting your immigrant theory out. https://www.fcnl.org/updates/top-10-...n-the-u-s-1630
