Nice Little Third World Country
The BBC is reporting that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) is warning the US over high poverty:
The US has been warned about its high poverty rate in the International Monetary Fund’s annual assessment of the economy.
The fund said about one in seven people were living in poverty and that it needed to be tackled urgently.
It recommended raising the minimum wage and offering paid maternity leave to women to encourage them to work.
The report also cut the country’s growth forecast for 2016 to 2.2% from a previous prediction of 2.4%.
Do the people in the Congress and Executive care that international organizations see the US this way?

He’s Baaack!
After looking at the people running for the Republican nomination for Senate in Florida, apparently a whole group of people decided that Marco “No Clue” Rubio who said he hated the job and had one of, if not, the worst attendance record in the Senate, has filed to run again.
On the Democratic side you have Congressmen Patrick Murphy [Blue Dog] and the ever entertaining Alan Grayson with the world’s worst collection of neckties.
It apparently occurred to Rubio that he was going to have to find a job and he panicked.
