We do not have starvation in this country, but we absolutely do have hunger. The fact that someone isn’t starving doesn’t mean that their hunger doesn’t matter!
Heard again today say that “the economy is good.”When 93 million Americans are near poverty, the economy is not “good.” When 13 million children are hungry, the economy is not “good.” When 100,000 children are homeless, the economy is not “good.” Good for but a few is not “good.”

Good if your rich, good if you own stock, good if you own a corporation. Most people in America do not follow under these categories. It’s time to change the metrics on how we measure a ‘good’ economy.
