Comments on: Poverty Drops But Ranks Of Uninsured Grow

First Significant Dip In U.S. Poverty Since 2000; But Number Of Uninsured Increases To 47 Million

The reason the poverty level has dropped is because all the people who were in the poverty level are now in a new level "Help I''ve Fallen And I Can''t Get Out"!

So... from what I see this means families are making more money, which means less need/ability to obtain federal funding/assistance. Employers are cutting back on health insurance, because it''s too expensive for even them to afford. This means the families just above the poverty line now can''t get assistance, but they sure as heck can''t afford health insurance. Awesome.

I would never put myself at a poverty level

[michellem99-2009]

I don''t smoke..I don''t drink...I won''t buy them.. I am on meds for health reasons...Have you priced them...CIGERETTES/BOOZE/BEER/WINE..Too costly. I have never smoked,never drank..I don''t need them. I never had children..I felt no need for a baby no matter how cute..They are demanding and costly..I belivev in sterilise them before a bsby ever is born..cold no alot are abused,killed,dumped in foster care. There are poor who do raise their children..it can be a hardship...should there be a limit of the number of children or fix the tubes...This is something as a poor person they have to think about..WELL YES AND NO.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO many SELF-CENTERED GOPig EXTREMISTS on board. This board has become an extension of the Rush Limpball Hour, sposored in part by the BRAINDEAD BIGOTS of the USA!

The liberal bias of the mainstream media cracks me up! They can''''t report any good news without negating it with bad news, even if the good and bad news have nothing to do with each other.

They simply can''''t bear the thought of reporting anything good happening during the Bush administration, so they have to throw something bad in there as well.

How about, "Unemployment hits all time low - but pitbull attacks on humans increased this past year".

Why do you dems keep pushing socialism? And you call us republicans communists! Seriously, you are so confused.

No, we call you Repiglicons Nazis or Fascists, which are both about the same, or self-centered bigots. Regardless, fact is that you self-centered pigs are nothing more than a regional party of the original Confederate States, plus maybe Kansas and Utah. Not quite enough for your regional party to win any federal elections in any of our lifetimes. Americans hate extremists, and thats all you GOPigs have to offer the USA these days.

I read another story that noted that incomes had actually declined a little over 1%; the lower rates of poverty in families was strictly due to more families having more members working (a higher percentage of families having husband and wife or older children still living in the house working - in many families now, the older children can''t get a good enough job to afford their own place so they stay at home with parents).

I wonder why CBS (mainstream media) would not want us to know that.

And on another issue; I do notice an extreme number of comments from certain persons; as if they have nothing else to do all day than stay on certain pages. Being a computer old-timer (1979) and remembering the old BBS days, we used to have a lot of traffic from people posing as adults insisting they could send high voltages over phone lines, etc. and were caught out to be children. If you aren''t a child, quit acting like it;comment and move on with your life.
