I've been cycling in and out of homelessness for 17.75 years. Here is the headline of today's newspaper entitled "The Arizona Republic"
The article headline: "Poverty Rate Hits 17 yr. high"
(I often take notes when I read the newspaper, here are some excerpts from the article that are particular meaningful and synchronistic to my own experience.)
"behind today's grim statistics are real people who are finding it harder then ever to keep a roof over their head, feed their families, get the health care they need and give their kids a chance at a better life."
The # of 25 to 34 year olds who have been forced to double up with other families and relatives, has increased 25% since 2007.
Since 2006 Maricopa County, AZ Department of Economic Services saw a 59% increase in folks with college degrees (INCLUDING FOLKS HOLDING A PHD) who are asking for economic help of all sorts including food stamps!.
