Mad Cow disease still has another year or so before it respawns in the news.
It seems to crop up every 3-4 years.

Stop drinking liberal Koolaid.
Even during this war, there is a lower ratio of recruits that are poor. The median household income of recruits were 35-40K over the last three years. Of household incomes of 18-24 year old recruits, less than 14% of the recruits are in the lowest 20% income. 23% of recruit come from the highest 20% household incomes.
Its mostly kids from rural states with no future except a life of Truck Driving.
No I guess 35-40k isn't quite "poverty", but I think most people would consider a 40k household to be "the working poor."
The working poor is at $20,000 a year. People like Wal-mart employees, Illegals working crops, maintanance, laundry workers, thise sort of spots.
I make just over 40 a year and you don't see me looking poor. I own a 2000 sqft house with a 4 car garage on 10 acres. I own 7 horses and can feed them all year long with no crimp in my budget. I own a 94 nissan pickup and a 2000 Jeep Sahara.
How many poor people do you see running around with that.

Considering that the price of food, cars, gas and consumer products in the US are usually a good deal lower than in most european countries, then 40K isn't bad. But take that 40K and move to say, Norway, and you would find yourself seriously struggling to maintain the same quality of living.Infact it would be impossible.
This is purely academical, of course, since wages in Norway are higher.
Exactly. I'm in the ok zone where I live currently. Say I wanted to move to Burley (smaller rural area) with what I make. I would be living like a king there since the cost of living is way lower in that area. If I move to Cali, I would be lucky to have a 1 bedroom apartment.
