How could America, one of the richest countries in the world, tolerate a crisis of poverty? Claims are published that ~10 to 17.8% of our people are suffering in dire poverty.
If you hear something like this, you have to wonder why the government doesn't lend a hand. But wait, different levels of government have lots of ways to help. If vast numbers of people are barely surviving, why don't they sign up for food stamps? It's confusing.
What do the numbers mean?
