The United States, such as having the world's largest economy, the number of fronts, is a global leader in above. However, here in the United States, is one area that has been given the general wealth, but rather does not distinguish itself: It has one of the children's poverty rate is the highest in developed countries.
As well as the economy continued to recover from the Great Recession, 1 of 5 children is in the food stamps , the US Census has revealed. Before housing crash, 1 in 8, received a federal food aid.
This gloomy statistics recovery reflects the or have failed to reach the family to the lower end of the economic spectrum. The stock market is at a record high and the richest has reached to 1% will be owned on a path by 2 016, most of the world's wealth many to struggle to continue to put food on the table of American family.The United States currently, children's defense fund, according to the children's advocacy groups, has the second highest rate of child poverty in 35 industrialized countries.
That is "shameful distinction," the group said in a new report . "Many of the countries with fewer resources, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, the Czech Republic, Hungary, the United States will be able to do a lot in order to reduce the poverty of children clearly including the Do not instructions, have a lower poverty rate. "
U.S. CENSUS BUREAU
The only industrialized countries with a high poverty rate?Romania, still the country have begun to create a middle class just now and are struggling to emerge from the brutal decades under communism.
About 15 Millions of US children is about $ 24,000 the official poverty level or less of life for a family of four, found children's defense fund. The children of the United States, on the one hand there is a multiple of the possibility that children of color is poor as white children, there is a 20% chance of being poor.
"It's shocking, it does not have to be this way," Caroline fichtenberg, the research director of children defense fund, told CBS Money Watch. "It is located in our economic interests in order to solve the poverty of children."
There is a cost to the United States of the high rate of poverty of children, the defense fund of the children said. Many work more than one job to make ends meet - - because it has a financially strapped parents are fewer resources and a short time, they are talking, are less likely to spend time reading to their children.Hunger and not only lead to food insecurity is also on the health problems, higher chance of obesity, and poor student high school presses their profitability, they are less likely to graduate.
"Adding the cost of productivity due to the poverty of children's loss and extra health and crime is up to about half trillion dollars a year, or 3.8% of GDP," the report pointed out.

Food stamps are just one of the cost. Marriage recession is receiving the 2007 food stamps, the last year before the start of the rate of children living with their parents in December, the child of food and support program of $ 9 million compared to 16 million, to provide the benefits, on the other hand, the same period has doubled in that, the census said.
The findings, come rich and in the concern of the increase from the United States in the growing about gap economists and policy makers between everyone. The top 1 percent of the capture-income people all of the income gain , according to the Economic Policy Institute, for a while was completed in June 2009, at least half of all the profits of the other 22 states capture, in officially 16 states recession since left the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the think tank.
Hit in order to reduce the poverty rate of the United States, the fight against "poverty, which was initiated by President Lyndon Johnson in the 1960s, has been" successful, recession, the hard lot of the lower-case-middle-income households.
"Why have a sense we we have been economy has changed that stepping on the water, have less work than pay enough to get by" fichtenberg said. "We on, we have stagnation of wages, all of the advantages, have become the top 1%. come out of the recession, the children was the first and last to benefit. "
The main theme was of President Obama to boost the middle class of wealth State of the Union speech last week. His proposal, with additional tax money will be used to fund the benefits and tax cuts of education for middle-income earners, to eliminate the loopholes that raise the capital gains tax, benefit the wealthy families It is included.
Increase the earned income tax credit for the reduction of poverty, such as low-income among American children, can be achieved through measures such as raising the minimum wage, the defense fund of the children said. These and other policy measures, it is possible to reduce the poverty rate of children of 60% of the country, the group said.
"By more investment to protect children from poverty, the United States can re-join the ranks of peer countries," the report and to reduce the points out. "60 percent of the United States of relative child poverty rate, Germany and in line with the country, such as Switzerland, it puts the United States, to reduce the poverty of 9.2 percent the United States of children from 23.1. "
They correspond to the period in which the tight loss or financial situation of revenue, necessarily so that it does not lead to dependence on government handouts, many of the advantages of the social safety net of government help the family, fichtenberg is added It was.
"We have a culture focused on the responsibility of the individual, and we are fully agree with it, we are all in the same boat," children from poverty it's to everyone's benefit in order to lift the, she said. "Children are born they are, please do not choose their parents or." By AIMEE PICCHI MONEY WATCH January 28, 2015, 2 twenty-three PM

Jerry "Moonbeam" Brown since taking office to the governor in January 2011, California state has developed an unusual recovery from the brink of economic collapse. Consider some of the results of Brown stellar. From 2013 of the 2014 fiscal year, the Treasury is expected to display a $ 4.2 billion budget surplus [from the deficit of $ 6 billion in 2011 from 2010]. Once unstable stabilization of the housing market. When the job creation program that holds the unemployment rate to about 8.5% (although still high, from 12.5% down in 2010). Some of these achievements, (temporary) by the administration of Governor resulting from the imposition of tax increases and spending cuts.
Annual GDP of some 1900000000000 dollars, California, critical importance to the United States of the Golden State, and even more to reflect the world economy, the world (of almost the same as the economic output of India and Italy) 8 It has been ranked as a place of economic power. Indeed, Brown (running three times for the president, were all failed) shoo - and, if he chooses to return to Sacramento, re-election, you need to in order to come in November .
However, California, famous state mansion in Beverly Hills, glittering Hollywood star, Malibu beaches, palm trees and stunning Golden Gate Bridge, is, deep, hiding a dark secret - it is, the highest poverty rate of the country I'm waiting. Latin and, the largest single ethnic group in the now of the state - According to the Bureau of Statistics, of the California 380,000 people (23.8 percent from 20-year low of 12% increase in maximum in 2006 ,,) nearly a quarter one is the poverty line or less of life, bearing the brunt of such deprivation. According to the California Public Policy Institute (PPIC), at least 60,000 households in the state, the federal poverty level (in the case of about $ 23000 a family of four) live on less than income. Not only the poverty rate, is very high for Latin, also, what is lacking in the diploma of the African-American and universities. According to the report, are living in poverty in the state (one-third of their total number) 5 million Latino.
Los Angeles Times, poverty view item costs of the count while 23.8 percent of, such as, among other factors, including the benefits of tax credits and government, by the different Census Bureau is a measure of the official poverty rate Description childcare to have arisen from a "supplemental poverty measures," not only outside of the pocket medical expenses, (which tend to be very high in California) housing costs.
Regardless of the measurement method, the poverty rate in California is now, more than even the endemically deprived conditions, such as Mississippi and Louisiana. This "alternative" measures, some of the 16 percent of Americans, or on the basis of about 50 million people, currently living in poverty. "Are working on most of the poor families in California," PPIC says. "Most of the poor people in California live in working families. In 37.3 percent of the poor families, the members of at least one of the family I am working full-time, someone is working in part-time in another 25.6 percent. "
Ann Huff Stevens, poverty research center director of the University of California, Davis, in particular the cost of housing in the city of California, soaring, both for the more traditional measures of the determination of the "Alternative" based on the scale, poverty spread that explains the majority of the higher poverty rate. "And Nevada and Florida of housing costs is ... anywhere not to this extreme close", she said in an interview. "It is, it is important to note that California is a very expensive state, this is the main to make our poverty rate jump from slightly higher than the national average in the official index of the number 1 it is also important supplemental measures to keep in mind that it is a factor. "
(At 165,000 square miles, it is as much to occupy the real estate and Iraq) Given the huge size of California, the poverty rate is intrastate significantly change - from 7.2% of the low in the San Mateo County (high-tech hub of Silicon Valley home) high-to-30 percent of Merced County, with vigorous suffering from the Central Valley at the time of the housing collapse. Based on the absolute number, Los Angeles County, the largest population of people trapped in poverty is home - some 1.8 million, the total of 30% of the state.
Basically, inland regions depressed and rich coastal areas - economists, in a recent meeting of the California Economic Summit, lecturer reported that it has heard the story of "two California". But, significant was enacted by Brown (However, if necessary) in spending and welfare cuts, California, still account for a staggering one-third of all welfare recipients in the whole of the United States there - but it has about one eighth of the country's population. Estimated economists, the income gap has become almost higher in California than any other state - and burned down the middle class, expanding lower class, and 1 thriving elite of percenters.
"The unemployment rate is still huge. We have cut the housing. We have cut the head start [childhood education program]. We, we cut the nutrition program," Ron Haskins, co-director. of the Brookings Center on children and families in the Los Angeles Times, "and now it's .... food stamps will be displayed in these [poor] numbers next year."
Women's Economic Agenda Project (WEAP) was accused in parallel with the reduction in workforce housing, electricity, poverty high of California to the cost of the increase in health care. Or of Californians one-fifth - - WEAP that lack any kind of health insurance was further pointed out that there are some 6.5 million. About triple the minimum wage at the time - in 2008, it is determined that the national low-income housing Union which it is living in the average two-bedroom apartment in California, one, you need to earn $ 24.01 per at least time.
A. Colin Cameron, professor of economics at UC Davis, a substantial portion of the high California poverty, reflects the large number of the state of immigration. "Although many of the immigrants are paying well educated and high-skilled low, there is also a poor English [skills] have been many are immigrants," he said. Or of the total population of foreign-born residents country of 4 minutes 1 - indeed, more than 10 million immigrants and the PPIC, California, according to, it has a lot more than any other state. In 2011, 27% of the province's population, the United States rate of about double the (not just mainly Latin America, Asia) foreign-born was. Nearly half of California's immigrants (47%) are naturalized US citizens, another 26% have several other legal status. However, according to the Department of Homeland Security, about 27 percent of California's immigrants are not documented.
On the other hand, the tendency towards a bifurcated society of California has permeated decades. Before "nearly 30 years, [the I] is, despite its egalitarian and upper mobile pride, state suggests that it has evolved into nots bilayer society have a person-held, and CA I wrote a book about the future, "Dan Walters, Sacramento Bee newspaper." Unfortunately, I wrote in, us it is the media and political elite of the state and has become a thing of the reality and Texas might sneer at the other states that lack a mild climate and scenic attributes, they are Texas' poverty rate in just two-thirds of California, be aware that there is the Iowa please of 3 minutes 1. you can not eat the ocean view. "
Poverty is probably emerge as a major theme in this year's gubernatorial election campaign in California. Neil Kasshukari, played a major role in the bank bailout of the federal government, who, because he is former US Treasury officials announced to run for governor as a Republican, failed to alleviate the poverty of the state, Brown ( have criticized his estimated challenger). "Unacceptable under the present circumstances, '' Kashukari is told in a speech at the announcement of California State University, his candidacy for the highest office of the state." Governor Brown is able to claim "comeback of California", the truth is that he has forgotten the hundreds of thousands of California families who are struggling. "
Rep. Tim Donnelly, also is a favorite of the Tea Party, which will run for governor, Brown failed to deal with how to try to be "repeatedly he is to get the state back to work, return to prosperity in California want was. "and said," pensions and $ 64 billion, "not only the $ 24.9 billion" wall of debt in order to pay for the workers of the state, "as well as $ 80 billion needed to cover the teacher including, other liabilities, 330 billion US dollars, "Skyline" of - the Republican Party is also, retirement health care, which points to a large debt crisis of the state.
California GOP (the party of the state in the current serious decline) also address was criticized Brown for his recent can not be referred to the poverty in the "state of the state". But last year, in an interview with National Public Radio, by Brown to describe it as unskilled immigrants in large quantities quote ", inside out of charm and prosperity of the incredible California", the poverty rate It was taken up. However, it does not soothe the Brown of the opponent, the right or to the left.
Ellen Brown is running for state treasurer under the Green Party banner, lawyer, public Bankers Association president, and is, Brown of austerity budget for the elderly and disabled people, the payment of welfare, poor people health care, and it is cut sued to have the bottom of the profit for the workers of the state has been reduced in size, the school district in need of cash to hold the exorbitant interest rates about 300 percent via a bond has been reduced to borrow. "California is already by raising the sales tax of hurt far more poor people than the greatly reduced or rich a service that has been cut to the bone, you will not be able to solve the budget problem," she wrote there. "We are fighting on top of the pie remains too small."
However, UC Davis Stevens is also optimistic while cautious about the near future of the state. "I she said please" Do not expect it to be significantly worse in the future is poverty in California for several years. "In the same way as the rest of the country, the state is from the great recession, slowly, seems to have recovered."
