America’s Descent into Poverty | Economy In Crisis
The United States has collapsed economically, socially, politically,
legally, constitutionally, and environmentally. The country that exists
today is not even a shell of the country into which I was born. In this
article I will deal with America’s economic collapse. In subsequent
articles, i will deal with other aspects of American collapse.
Economically, America has descended into poverty. As Peter Edelman
says, “Low-wage work is pandemic.” Today in “freedom and democracy”
America, “the world’s only superpower,” one fourth of the work force is
employed in jobs that pay less than $22,000, the poverty line for a
family of four. Some of these lowly-paid persons are young college
graduates, burdened by education loans, who share housing with three or
four others in the same desperate situation. Other of these persons are
single parents only one medical problem or lost job away from
homelessness.
