According to the AP story from the U.S. Census- the percentage of people (reporting to be) in poverty dropped from 12. 6% in 2005 to 12.3% in 2006 (didn't the around quarter-million Katrina-displaced/povertized Gulf residents count?).
OK - that was the "good" news.
The bad news is that now- according to America's Very Own Census bureau- the NUMBER OF AMERICANS WITH NO HEALTH INSURANCE INCREASED- TO A STAGGERING 47 MILLION PEOPLE.
Imagine just ten percent of that number- 4.7 million people- marching on Washington and demanding change.
Speaking of change- gotta check under some sofa cushions- peace-out....
