I guess Donald Trump will solve this by deporting immigrants and bringing manufacturing and coal back.

I guess posting an article on the extreme poverty in California, liberal utopia, is just disingenuous.

You should have read on to the part about Alabama, conservative utopia.

TRUE: California has the nation

Politifact: TRUE: California has the nation’s highest poverty rate, when factoring in cost-of-living


"If you look at the official poverty measure in California, we’re about average with the rest of the country," Mayes said. "But if you use the supplemental poverty measure, we are in the lead. We have the highest poverty rate in the nation -- higher than New Mexico, higher than any of the southern states, Louisiana, Alabama, higher than Idaho."

Every country has their drug addicted and mentally unstable poor...the US is no exception. I just got back from 2 weeks in the financial district of London and drugged out street people were sleeping on the streets passed out there too.

Give me a BREAK! This issue has nothing to do with politics! Just skimming down through the article, it’s easy to see these are examples of losers! Drug addiction, prostitution, unfit parenting, and plain old laziness!
People make horrible choices and one bad decision after another, expecting a different outcome. Or- expecting to guilt the rest of us. Ridiculous!

Surprised you didn't blame the "globalists." Trump supporters blame bankers for the opioid crisis.

"I guess Donald Trump will solve this by..."

Why didn't Obama and the dem controlled Congress solve it when THEY were in charge?

Oh, wait, this just came to be when Trump was elected.

It is amazing the stories many on the left come up with blaming Trump and the repubs and TOTALLY IGNORED the issue when the dems were in control!

Wait, this CAN'T BE, "We are in Los Angeles," the liberal run la-la land and they tell us they CARE about the down trodden soooo much.

Their policies and programs are to help and IMPROVE EVEBODY.

And Ca is the Utopia capitol of the world.

Where was Obama the last 8 years before Trump?


500 million taxpayer dollars lost just on Solyndra, which was deemed a good investment. With that kind of financial acumen and having Jon Corzine as a trusted go to guy in matters money, the country would have been cleansed of E-poverty.


Okay so let's quantify the E-poverty and see if it got worse or better in the last 8 years, 20 years. Where is it going and what have done to get it there? Question is, should we do more of the same or change tactics?
