>> That chart that you posted is not the reality.

Okay, so you've made the claim. But you haven't proved it.

>> I have a friend who is a psychologist. She sees this woman who is in her 70s. Worked all her life and now is living on SS and food stamps and whatever other welfare benefits she's entitled to. My friend noticed over time that she was getting thinner and thinner. She asked the woman what was going on.........the woman told her that its hard to keep her food budget with the amount food stamps provides and she runs out of stamps by the end of the third week and must subsist on what's left in her fridge. I looked up what a single person gets on food stamps......it was either $180 or $200 per month. That may be enough in MS or AL but its not in the PNW. My friend now gives her food for that last week each month.

Yes, there are real cases where people don't have enough money. The point is that what the Left has done over the last 50 years has done nothing at all to improve the situation; poverty is no less frequent than it was before the so-called War on Poverty, for which we've spend trillions with no meaningful improvement. That's trillions that future generations will not have to avoid their own, more serious poverty.
