  Poverty Rate Rose Sharply in 2009, Says Census Bureau

  The report said that 44 million people, or one in seven residents, lived in poverty in the United States in 2009, the highest rate since 1994.

Fascinating graph. They admit it under counts badly. It does not correct for inflation. Crank that on and we really are in the depths of depression.
