BBMW - Your comments are incredible. I don't have time to address the all here but I would remind you that we're talking about people living in poverty which encompasses more than just the. They do not always correlate. What about the underemployed and other working poor?

Your comments regarding the unemployed living under a bridge are astonishing. In this economic climate it takes people more than 6 months to find jobs. That surf the system observation is bullshit. This is not a case of motivation it is a case of lack of opportunity.

As for SS it will continue to exist in some fashion. They may raise the retirement age, or eliminate the payroll tax ceiling, but it will continue to exist. The idea that people will work until they die of old age is politically non-viable.
