Lately, as I drive around this city, Iâve been noticing people driving in a dumb manner, and itâs starting to tick me off. Please help us all out, by driving with some common sense, you donât need to use that cell phone, girlfriend. Please stop driving and looking at yourself in the rearview mirror while at the wheel.

We need to stop seeing ourselves as responsible for saving other nations form their internal political uprisings and disasters and start facing domestic realities, the first of which is that poverty and hunger persist right here in the USA, every day, not just after Katrina: The official poverty rate in 2004 was 12.7 percent, up from 12.5 percent 2003. Poverty rates remained unchanged for Blacks (24.7 percent) and Hispanics (21.9 percent), rose for non-Hispanic Whites (8.6 percent in 2004, up from 8.2 percent in 2003) and decreased for Asians (9.8 percent in 2004, down from 11.8 percent in 2003). From the most recent trough in 2000 both the number and rate have risen for four consecutive years, from 31.6 million and 11.3 percent in 2000, to 37.0 million and 12.7 percent in 2004 respectively. For children under 18 years old, both the 2004 poverty rate (17.8 percent) and the number in poverty (13.0 million) remained unchanged from 2003. The poverty rate for children under 18 remained higher than that of 18-to-64-year olds (11.3 percent) and that of people aged 65 and over (9.8 percent). Both the poverty rate and number in poverty increased for people 18 to 64 years old (11.3 percent and 20.5 million in 2004, up from 10.8 percent and 19.4 million in 2003). The poverty rate decreased for seniors aged 65 and over was 9.8 percent in 2004, down from 10.2 percent in 2003, while the number in poverty in 2004 (3.5 million) was unchanged.

This marks a near reversal in attitudes from the beginning of 2001 when 65% of workers were satisfied and 33% were dissatisfied.–A majority of workers are now [under the Bush regime] more worried and concerned (54%) rather than hopeful and confident (43%) about achieving their economic and financial goals. –They overwhelmingly reject President Bush’s Social Security proposals.Two in three (65%) workers say that the country is headed in the wrong direction when it comes to retirement security.
