More Than Half Of American Schoolchildren Now Live In Poverty from the Huffington Post
"For the first time, more than half of U.S. public school students live in low-income households, according to a new analysis from the Southern Education Foundation. Overall, 51 percent of U.S. schoolchildren came from low-income households in 2013, according to the foundation, which analyzed data from National Center for Education Statistics on students eligible for free or reduced-price lunches."
The "no surprise" piece of this comes from the fact that we have one party that is absolutely, positively committed that poor people will get NOTHING to alleviate their poverty. Indeed, the GOP seems to mark as a seminal victory when they can make the lives of these people worse. -- Nuggetsman
