Today's NY Times editorial about growing poverty across the USA is worth reading. Orange County leads all NC counties and our state with disturbing numbers of 1 in 5 of us now at 100% of poverty. The nation's numbers are 1 in 7. We exceed the state's number by 1.7%. Poverty only leads to more hunger and homelessness. "The portents going forward are not good."
