12% of #Americans live in poverty according to the governments own published statistics.
43 million live with such extreme #food #insecurity that they regularly have to miss meals.
66% of Americans live #paycheck to paycheck without any savings to fall back on, including those earning more than the median wage.
60% of #bankruptcies are caused by unpayable #medical #debt.
But apart from those things, everything is going very well....
