U.S.A.: Sabotage of Build Back Better plan another act of one-sided class warfare – By Mohamed Hamaludin

01/27/2022 – 12:03 am

– By Mohamed Hamaludin

Poverty in the United States has been so pervasive that some adjunct professors, facing homelessness because of low pay, resorted to sleeping in their cars or doing sex work, The Guardian once reported.

A quarter of part-time college academics were said to be enrolled in public assistance programs such as Medicaid. “They resort to food banks and Goodwill and there is even an adjuncts’ cookbook that shows how to turn items like beef scraps, chicken bones and orange peel into meals. And then there are those who are either on the streets or teetering on the edge of losing stable housing,” The Guardian said.

Also, some teenagers in low-income communities trade sex work for food, according to a study cited in another Guardian story. They “do sex work, save school lunches, sell drugs and join gangs for food,” The Guardian said, citing a report from the Washington, D.C.-based Urban Institute.            Continue reading →

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s expected entrance into the 2020 race is being interpreted by many Democrats as a clear challenge to former Vice President Joe Biden‘s moderate presidential bid.

Making America Great Again? – By Rosaliene Bacchus

Here in the United States, there is a presidential candidate, a businessman-turned-politician, who is leading the polls for his political party. I prefer not to name him; he feeds on media coverage, good or bad. I’ll call him PC. The slogan of his campaign is “Make America Great Again.”

PC promises to resolve the problem of illegal immigrants living in the USA. In his estimation, most of the illegal immigrants from Mexico are criminals. For readers who don’t already know, his solution is to build a wall along our border with Mexico and have the Mexican government pay for it, because they are making lots of money doing business with the U.S. Will building a wall to shut us in from Mexico and the rest of Central America make us great again?

USA Politics: The Triumph of the Right – by Robert Reich

The Triumph of the Right – by Robert Reich

Robert Reich

Robert Reich

Conservative Republicans have lost their fight over the shutdown and debt ceiling, and they probably won’t get major spending cuts in upcoming negotiations over the budget.

But they’re winning the big one: How the nation understands our biggest domestic problem.

They say the biggest problem is the size of government and the budget deficit.

In fact our biggest problem is the decline of the middle class and increasing ranks of the poor, while almost all the economic gains go to the top.

The Labor Department reported Tuesday that only 148,000 jobs were created in September — way down from the average of 207,000 new jobs a month in the first quarter of the year. Continue reading →

US Census reveals growing poverty in the USA

09/15/2011 – 3:52 am

US Census reveals growing poverty in the USA

Published: Wednesday 14 September 2011
More people are poor in America than at any time since the Census Bureau began tracking data on poverty 52 years ago.

Newly published U.S. Census Bureau findings on poverty in the United States shows that the number of poor increased to record highs in 2010, with 1 in 6 Americans being considered poor, and 1 in 5 U.S. Children living in poverty. According to the Census, US Blacks and Hispanics accounted for 54% of the poor with whites at 9.9% and Asians, 12.1%.

Employer provided health benefits also declined, and now under 50 million Americans have health insurance provided by their employers. Democracy Now interviews with Heidi Shierholz, labor economist at the Economic Policy Institute.
