There is a presentation on booktv about Alissa Quart, who has written "Squeezed: why our families can't afford America" interesting talk on why it costs so much to just live here, could be found interesting by those who are living close to the poverty line and work two jobs.

I live in poverty..and I find nothing interesting about it..

OK, you just shoved the fact that I am liberal and poor in my face. It just hit me that anyone who is poor, like you and me, would know all about this phenomenon, we live it. This is part of the problem, we see this stuff, relate to it and forget we could have done a better job of writing it. Thanks, I knew I would learn from you. I will be listening.

@dalefvictor actually I'm a Social Democrat..thing that irks me is the pontification of the writers..

@Charlene you hit it on the head, thanks, describes exactly what I thought but did not know the word.
