The U.S. Census released its 2007 report yesterday. Probably the best news item is that we have fewer uninsured than last year. The bad news is that the poverty rate is the same--12.5 percent of all Americans live in poverty. More than a third of all people who live in poverty are children (35.7 percent to be exact). If you happen to be a child who lives in a single head of household headed by a female then about half of you are in poverty. What are we doing as a nation? We know that growing up in poverty has implications for a lifetime. No matter how strongly we feel about the opportunities for "pulling yourself up by the bootstraps" and "grabbing the American Dream." The fact of the matter is that it is really tough if you don't have any boots or any dreams to begin the journey. I know that this is a hard nut to crack but we have to do it. The Annie E. Casey Foundation as well as my friends at the Northwest Area Foundation are two national philanthropies that have taken on this issue. Every religious organization, community foundation, or civic group should too. This is the issue of our generation.
It's so lucky for me to find your blog! So shocking and great! Just one suggestion: It will be better and easier to follow if your blog can offer rrs subscription service.
