emails and poverty

Here is a quote from yesterday’s news: The official poverty rate in 2015 was 13.5%, down from 14.8% in 2014, the Census report said. While this is certainly good news please understand that the poverty rate from 1960 to 1965 came down from 22% to 15% and then begin to level out and stayed in that range for 50 years. Recall that the War on Poverty started in 1964 and since that time the country has spent The War on Poverty has cost $22 trillion -- three times more than what the government has spent on all wars in American history. New subject: Sometimes when a person in Washington accidentally tells the truth it is considered a mistake. The release of hacked emails has proven that to be true. What people say in public is not what they say in the “private” emails. I think the use of emails will be on the wane from here on out.
