　　What you are about to see is more evidence that the growth of poverty in the United States is wildly out of control. It turns out that there is a tremendous amount of suffering in “the wealthiest nation on the planet”, and it is getting worse with each passing year.

　　The following are 21 facts about the explosive growth of poverty in America that will blow your mind…

　　下边列出必定震晕你们的美国爆炸性增长贫困21个事实...

　　#1 The U.S. Census Bureau says that nearly 47 million Americans are living in poverty right now.

　　#1美国人口普查局说美国目前近4700万人生活于贫困中。

　　#2 Other numbers from the U.S. Census Bureau are also very disturbing. For example, in 2007 about one out of every eight children in America was on food stamps. Today, that number is one out of every five.

　　#2 美国人口普查局页非常令人不安。例如，2007年，美国每8个孩子就有一个不得不领取食品救济券。2015年，这个数字上升到每5个孩子就有一个不得不领取食品救济券(20%)。

　　#3 According to Kathryn J. Edin and H. Luke Shaefer, the authors of a new book entitled “$2.00 a Day: Living on Almost Nothing in America“, there are 1.5 million “ultrapoor” households in the United States that live on less than two dollars a day. That number has doubled since 1996.

　　#3依据凯瑟琳·J·艾丁与H·卢克·塞佛，书名为《一天2美元：在美国几乎一无所有的生活》的作者，美国目前有150多万个家庭生活于“极贫”中，每天生活费少于2美元。美国这样极贫的家庭总数自1996以来增长了一倍。

　　#4 46 million Americans use food banks each year, and lines start forming at some U.S. food banks as early as 6:30 in the morning because people want to get something before the food supplies run out.

　　#4 每年有4600万美国人使用食品银行，美国某些食品银行早上6:30就开始排队，因为这些人希望在供应完前吃到一些食品。

　　#5 The number of homeless children in the U.S. has increased by 60 percent over the past six years.

　　#5 过去6年，美国无家可归孩子总数增加了60%。

　　#6 According to Poverty USA, 1.6 million American children slept in a homeless shelter or some other form of emergency housing last year.

　　#6 依据《贫困美国》，美国总共160万无家可归孩子去年住在一个无家可归避难所或者某种形式的救援居住处。

　　#7 Police in New York City have identified 80 separate homeless encampments in the city, and the homeless crisis there has gotten so bad that it is being described as an “epidemic”.

　　#7 纽约市警察在市里发现了80处无家可归者营地，

　　#8 If you can believe it, more than half of all students in our public schools are poor enough to qualify for school lunch subsidies.

　　#8 你是否相信，美国公共学校中一半以上学生贫困到有资格获得学校午餐补助。

　　#9 According to a Census Bureau report that was released a while back, 65 percent of all children in the U.S. are living in a home that receives some form of aid from the federal government.

　　#9 依据美国人口普查局一段时期前公布的报告，美国所有孩子的65%生活在获得联邦政府某种方式援助的家庭里。

　　#10 According to a report that was published by UNICEF, almost one-third of all children in this country “live in households with an income below 60 percent of the national median income”.

　　#10 依据联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)公布的一项报告，美国所有孩子几乎三分之一生活的家庭收入低于美国国民平均收入水平60%以下。

　　#11 When it comes to child poverty, the United States ranks 36th out of the 41 “wealthy nations” that UNICEF looked at.

　　#11 在儿童贫困方面，在联合国儿童基金会(UNICEF)分析的41个“最富裕国家”中美国排在第36位(倒数第5位)。

　　#12 The number of Americans that are living in concentrated areas of high poverty has doubled since the year 2000.

　　#12 居住在严重贫困聚集区域的美国人数，自2000年以来增加了一倍。

　　#13 An astounding 45 percent of all African-American children in the United States live in areas of “concentrated poverty”.　　#13 美国所有非洲裔儿童的显著45%生活在美国严重贫困聚集区域。

　　#14 40.9 percent of all children in the United States that are being raised by a single parent are living in poverty.

　　#14 美国儿童总数的40.9%生活在贫困的单亲家庭。

　　#15 An astounding 48.8 percent of all 25-year-old Americans still live at home with their parents.

　　#15 已经25岁的美国人总数的48.8%仍然与他们的长辈生活在一起(译注：没有经济实力分开生活。)

　　#16 There are simply not enough good jobs to go around anymore. It may be hard to believe, but 51 percent of all American workers make less than $30,000 a year.

　　#16美国现在已经没有足够的好工作了。可能难于相信，美国工人总数的51%每年收入少于30,000美元。

　　#17 There are 7.9 million working age Americans that are “officially unemployed” right now and another 94.7 million working age Americans that are considered to be “not in the labor force”. When you add those two numbers together, you get a grand total of 102.6 million working age Americans that do not have a job right now.

　　#17 美国政府承认工作年龄段有790万美国人现在“正式失业”，但是还有9470万工作年龄段美国人政府考虑为“不属于劳动力”。你将这两个数字加在一起后，结论是美国工作年龄段现在没有工作的美国人总数为1.026亿人。

　　#18 Owning a home has traditionally been a signal that you belong to the middle class. That is why it is so alarming that the rate of homeownership in the United States has been falling for eight years in a row.

　　#18 拥有自己的房子传统讲是属于中产阶级的特征。美国拥有自己房子的美国人比例已经持续8年一直在下降令人警觉。

　　#19 According to a recent Pew survey, approximately 70 percent of all Americans believe that “debt is a necessity in their lives”.

　　#19 依据最近Pew调查，所有美国人大约70%相信“借债”成为他们生活中的必须。

　　#20 At this point, 25 percent of all Americans have a negative net worth. That means that the value of what they owe is greater than the value of everything that they own.

　　#20 目前，所有美国人中25%的身价为负值。这意味着，他们的借债总额大于他们拥有的一切价值。

　　#21The top 0.1 percent of all American families have about as much wealth as the bottom 90 percent of all American families combined.

　　#21 美国最富裕0.1%家庭的拥有的财富大约等于底部90%美国家庭拥有的财富总和。

　　#22 美国与其他高收入16国51健康项目比较结论：美国人寿命最短、国民健康最差

　　美国国家健康研究院(NIH)要求国家研究理事会与医学研究院召集专家组，对美国健康劣势的潜在原因进行审查，2013年1月公布了他们的审查报告，包括美国国民健康一系列方面与其他16个高收入国家国民健康数字比较结果及其结论：美国人寿命最短、国民健康最差!

　　If we truly are “the greatest nation on the planet”, then why can’t we even take care of our own people?

　　如果我们真正是“星球上最伟大的国家”，那么为什么我们甚至不能照顾好自己的人民?

　　Why are there tens of millions of us living in poverty?

　　为什么还有数千万人生活于贫困中?

　　Perhaps we really aren’t so great after all.

　　可能我们真正并非那么伟大。

　　It would be one thing if economic conditions were getting better and poverty was in decline. At least then we could be talking about the improvement we were making.

　　经济状况如果不断改善而且贫困在减少是一回事。这种情况下我们还可以谈论我们正在做出的改善。

　　But despite the fact that we are stealing more than a hundred million dollars from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day, poverty just continues to grow like an aggressive form of cancer.

　　但是，尽管我们每天每个小时盗窃未来代美国数百万美元，贫困依然像恶化的癌症那样继续增长。

　　So what is wrong?

　　到底什么错了?

　　Why can’t we get this thing fixed?

　　为什么我们不能解决这种问题?

　　Tell us what you think we should do as a nation to solve this problem by posting a comment below…

　　请在下边留言告诉我们：你认为美国作为一个国家应当这么做才能解决这个问题?
