I found out that tonight there is a documentary on PBS called "Waging a Living"
An excerpt from the synopsis:
"If you work hard, you get ahead. That's the American Dream in a nutshell — no matter what your race, color, creed or economic starting point, hard work will improve your life and increase your children's opportunities. Yet, this widely held dream is out of reach for an increasing number of working Americans.
Roger Weisberg's alarming and heart-wrenching new documentary, 'Waging a Living,' puts a human face on the growing economic squeeze that is forcing millions of workers into the ranks of the poor. Shot in the Northeast and California, the film profiles four very different Americans who work full-time but still can't make ends meet. Despite their hard work and determination, these four find themselves, as one of them observes, 'hustling backwards.'"
This looks like a very good, very important documentary that all Americans should see because as I've pointed out before, people are struggling in this economy. I urge everyone to watch this documentary!

Even the official propaganda outlet of the Democrat Party (The New York Times) has to admit that the percentage of Americans living "in poverty" was unchanged over the last year. So, where are these "millions" of workers being "forced" into the ranks of the poor?
