Children of 1 to 5 of the United States is dependent on food stamps
























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 .

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."
