we make the top (or bottom) ten

"The metropolitan areas around Saginaw, Mich., and Flint, Mich., have some of the worst poverty in the nation. Although per capita incomes are higher, the percentage of the population living below half of the poverty line is near 10% in both cities, and 15% of the populations are on food stamps. Other cities in the region are not far behind as manufacturing jobs continue to disappear."

No college educated offspring of most people I know stay in the area. Mostly they can't figure out why anyone does. So sad.

Tell the lazy bastards to get off their butts, get out and find a good job with health benefits.
That is the Republican health plan , besides not getting sick and dying quickly if you do.
