Social crisis in America: Thanksgiving 2011
Social crisis in America: Thanksgiving 2011
By Naomi Spencer 24 November 2011
Millions of Americans face extraordinarily grim living conditions this Thanksgiving: hunger, homelessness, joblessness, ever deeper and more pervasive poverty, and lack of heat, all compounded by devastating budget cuts and the destruction of the social safety net.
Virtually every measure of social health bears evidence of a significant rise in economic distress. The poverty rate has soared over the past several years. Officially, 49 million people, more than 16 percent of the population, are living in poverty—set at little more than $22,000 for a family of four. The federal government, compelled to acknowledge that its income threshold is unrealistically low, recently estimated that 98 million Americans were living at or just above the poverty line in 2010.

THE NUMBER OF ILLEGALS IN OUR COUNTRY IS CALCULATED TO BE MORE THAN 40 MILLION.
THE MEX INVASION & OCCUPATION IS SAID TO DEPRESS WAGES FROM $300 TO $400 BILLION PER YEAR, AND COST TAX PAYERS IN EXCESS OF $130 BILLION IN SOCIAL SERVICES.
HOW "CHEAP" IS ALL THAT "CHEAP" MEX LABOR? CALIFORNIA ALONE PUTS OUT $20 BILLION PER YEAR IN SOCIAL SERVICES TO ILLEGALS.
