This is what rhetoric does. It makes the circumstances of citizens worse. Rhetoric is empty, like gossip.

An estimated (click here) 14.5 percent of American households were food insecure at least some time during the year in 2012, meaning they lacked access to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members. The change from 14.9 percent in 2011 is not considered statistically significant. The prevalence of very low food security was unchanged at 5.7 percent...
On Saturday, October 19 from 9AM-1PM, the Janesville City Council in partnership with ECHO and the Janesville Salvation Army will hold a food drive at local grocery stores. Individuals wishing to contribute non-perishable food items are asked to visit one of the grocery stores listed below on to drop off their donation from their home or from the store:
• Woodman’s Food Market, 2819 N. Lexington Dr.
• Daniels Sentry, 2822 E. Milwaukee St.
• Daniels Sentry, 2501 W Court St.
• Pick ‘n Save, 1717 Center Ave. # 100
• Schnucks, 1501 Creston Park Dr.
• Basics, 1711 Lodge Drive
During this event, City Councilmember and volunteers will be present at each store from 9AM-1PM to collect the food. All food items collected will be distributed to the food banks administered by ECHO and the Salvation Army. This event is also an excellent way in which to interact with your Councilmembers.
During the spring “Big Give” food drive, the Janesville community generously donated more than 3,800 pounds of non-perishable food items and over $800 in cash donations. The amount collected made approximately 7,700 meals for Janesville area families....
Evidently, the local food drive isn't enough to handle the hungry and homeless.

Homeless Children? Until 2017? Really? And Paul Ryan has been in the US House since 1999? WHY?

JANESVILLE — The Janesville School Board (click here) at its meeting Tuesday will consider approving two grants, one to help homeless youth and another to bolster the district's tech program.
The district has received the Education for Homeless Children and Youth grant each school year since 2005-06. The proposal, if approved by the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction, would be for three more years with the district receiving a maximum of $50,000 per year, according to the written proposal.
The grant would be awarded in June 2014 and continue through July 2017....
Democrats need to get serious about these people. If Janesville is in bad shape, I can only imagine what the rest of the state looks like. This is Reince Priebus baby. Wisconsin. How long are the Democrats going to allow this level of poverty to build in that state.
See. It is all statistical. Janesville is a larger city with an economy so if there are problems in Janesville, the rest of the state ain't doin' so good either.
I applaud the citizens of Wisconsin and Janesville for addressing the issues of poverty in their community, but, they are losing the battle.

The percentages of Wisconsin children living in poverty (click here) and whose parents lacked stable employment both showed significant increases in 2010, according to a new report that compares state trends in children's well-being.
The increase translates to about 248,000 children living in poverty in 2010 compared with 2005, when 177,800 in Wisconsin were considered below the poverty line, based on the 2012 Kids Count Data Book. The report, published annually by the Annie E. Casey Foundation and released Wednesday, groups an index of 16 indicators into four categories including economic well-being, education, health, and family and community.
The report also finds that 402,000 children had parents who didn't have stable jobs in 2010 compared with 2008, when 287,000 parents didn't have secure employment.
"Wisconsin is still a great place to raise a family and a great place for kids, but if we want to continue to be able to say that, we need to pay attention to these trends," said Bob Jacobson, speaking for the Wisconsin Council on Children and Families, whose Kids Count project was financed by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. "Clearly, we're losing ground to many of these states on many indicators."
Wisconsin ranked 18th in both the health and family and community categories in the study. The health category had a smaller rate of children and teen deaths in 2010, from 24 per 100,000 compared with 33 per 100,000 in 2005, the report says.
Jacobson said that while Wisconsin had held steady in some of its rankings, such as children with health insurance, other states are improving faster. In the family and community category, children living in high-poverty areas in the state tripled over a decade.
The report ranks the state 10th in education, which is largely due to having the lowest percentage nationally - 9% - of high school students not graduating on time compared with a high of 44% in Nevada for 2008 and 2009....
If Reince Priebus loses Wisconsin, he loses his job. He was given the RNC Chairmanship because of Wisconsin in 2010. The Democrats have a lot of reason to move this state back in the other direction. The poverty level is escalating year after year.
