Some interesting numbers about America in the 21st century

Paul Buchheit of DePaul has made a few interesting - and depressing - calculations based on what appears to be solid numbers:

1.138,000 Kids Were Homeless while 115,000 Households Were Each Making $10 Million Per Year
2. The Average U.S. Household Pays $400 to Feed and Clothe Walmart, McDonalds, and Other Low-Wage Workers
3. As $30 Trillion in New Wealth was being Created, the Number of Kids on Food Stamps Increased 70%
4. Despite the Decline in Food Security, the Food Stamp Program was Cut by $8.6 Billion and the Money Paid to Corporate Agriculture
