Poverty as a mass phenomenon is back. The statistics are starkly different to europe.About 50 million Americans have no health insurance, and more people are added to their ranks every day.
More than 32 million people receive food stamps
13 million are unemployed
The homeless population is growing in tandem with a rapid rise in the rate of foreclosures, which were 45 percent higher in March 2009 than they were in the same month of the previous year.
