Summary
Newsweek is reporting that the United Nations investigation of developed countries around the world finds that poverty in the United States is now so widespread and severe, with over 40 million Americans below the poverty level and many of them living without basic sanitation or enough food and without any access to healthcare, that large parts of America are functionally as bad as or worse than many Third World countries.
Republican policies and 40 years of Reaganomics have turned America into a “sh*thole country.” Americans know this, and the vast majority of them think that wages should be increased, healthcare should be expanded, education should be free, and the federal government should undo Reagan and Clinton’s destruction of LBJ‘s safety net.
Book Club reading from Thom Hartmann's "The Crash of 2016: The Plot to Destroy America--and What We Can Do to Stop It" and Ocean Robbins' "31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World"
