I happened to be reading this article about the horrific state of personal finances in Detroit, when this graph caught my eye. Notice the last item.

Earlier this year President Obama said in his State of the Union address, “Anyone claiming that America’s economy is in decline is peddling fiction.”
This week Obama said that his administration has created a “more durable, growing economy” with “15 million new private-sector jobs since early 2010”.

Just one week from now tens of millions of families could go to bed hungry.
