Dear
Santa:
In terms of child poverty, the United States ranks
36th out of the 41 wealthiest nations.
There
are 2.5 million homeless
children in the US,
an
all-time
high. 65%
of US children live in a home that receives aid from the federal
government. 45%
of US children belong to low income families.
45%
of African-American children in the
US live in “areas of
concentrated poverty” (slums).
The
average American is 40%
poorer today than before the recession, and 20%
of US households
will be
able to eat Christmas dinner
thanks
to food stamps, about that many more courtesy of various food banks
and charities.
Enjoy yours.
The
Fundamentals:
A seasonal history lesson: According to the book of Matthew, Jesus
was born in 4 BC. Luke holds out for 6 AD. John doesn't adhere to
any of the timelines described by Matthew, Mark or Luke in tracing
the Messiah's life. To add to the confusion, the genealogies
of the Christ
child as
portrayed
by Matthew and Luke are completely different.
