I live in Maryland near DC and I'd say it is kind of difficult to see poverty, besides some homeless people carrying signs here and there.
You see some Hispanic and other immigrant families cramped into small houses, but that's not exactly poverty. There is virtually no white or Asian poverty at all in this area. There are also a lot less ghettos and blighted areas in DC compared to what there used to be a long time ago.
Come to Texas. 3.8 million people in Texas fell below the official poverty line between 2016 and 2018. Pearland, Tx is where I live and the most common racial or ethnic group living below the poverty line in Pearland, TX is White, followed by Hispanic and Black. Our local food bank gives food to those in need. There are also churches that have food banks.
There are good cities and bad cities for poverty.
Bad include Laredo, Tx; Pharr, Tx; Brownsville, Tx; San Juan, Tx and San Benito, Tx
I must live in a different world from the Democrat candidates because I do not see any poverty and doomsday scenarios that the Democrat candidates describe. If they're fighting against this current economy, I'd say that is a losing scenario.
Seriously? Do you have your head buried in the sand?

Go to Columbia heights or take a ride through the cities. You will find the homeless and poor. You simply don’t get out and about.
I guess you don't work in the public school district of a quasi-rural former mill town with an opioid problem. I see poverty. Poverty is 7 and his name is Kayden. He likes Minecraft and eats granola bars from the snack shelf in the front office. Poverty is 10 and her name is Olivia. She likes going on the swings and wears mittens from the lost and found.

You must live in a different world from *everybody*, because I'm sure both sides of the aisle see poverty in many places.

So, when a democrat says there is poverty all over, a Trumpie comes around and tells us there is no poverty.
But when describing Los Angeles or Chicago or St Louis, they will tell you there is poverty all over the place.
Poverty is relative. Even people living on the street here often do so from choice or from self abuse, which certainly can be argued is a choice as well. Compare that in the poverty of places in the third world where children with no limbs beg for change in the street.
I think it safe to assume that many of the people that are poor in the U.S. have a better chance of having access to resources to help them vs. those 3rd world children.
