The media for US homes in 2010. 49445. Dollars less than fifty granite. To feed it and cloak room and entertain and -- roof over the head of an entire year family. A 2.3 percent decline from 2009. Meanwhile the number of people living in poverty. Is that a 52 year highs and that's only because they've only been keeping records for 52 year exactly so it may be even more than that but -- A number of people. Living in poverty is approaching fifty million in the US and they define poverty. As it's kind of a complicated. Yeah formula it's a -- mix up but. -- -- Get it dead but I think it's about for a family of four was -- 21000 dollars or something you have for family for -- a sold. And individuals like 111000. -- That's a lot of people have been below that poverty line who lot of people not bring in home fifty grand for an entire family yeah. Now on the world wide scale were amongst the riches richest people anywhere but. You know we don't live in Cambodia or -- Places like that you know when and then on the other end of the scale we have some people that are doing quite nicely thank you yes well I haven't what is that number -- -- smaller all time together. The -- may be getting richer -- the -- rich. Which brings whatever time I talk about a tax cut or whatever I think there's a big sigh of relief from that middle class. Because they need every extra dollar they can get to fifty grand enough for our entire family filed. And most people -- make its fifty day. Most families not people. Doesn't this month is a now dead as the entire family not -- -- guys if you had to add new and fifty and mom maybe 25.

I feel like we are only a hair above the poverty line. You know folks however much money you make. I find that's how much money you spend whether you make twenty grand or 200 grand. The more you make the more you spend you get a bigger rounds to get a nicer car -- eat better meals you take bigger vacations. It's amazing how the end of the month almost nobody has any money -- and always feels like they're struggling to survive. Even as they make more which is -- please why -- -- I've got all kinds of money they'll be all right but they've probably got a massive mortgage a huge -- narrowed. And very little money in the bank if at all to even have a savings account. Very interesting more than half of American families now make it less than 50000 dollars combined. Household income.
