Each day United States' children try to eat, sleep, find restrooms, and clean themselves and their clothes, as well as study, but they are on the streets without homes and often in danger.
With all the chaos in the US, how many other countries or more comfortable US citizens realize that at least half the US population struggles financially everyday. In fact, those who are better off have difficulty comprehending what it's like to be poor or how it contributed to the last presidential election.
The US perspective is "If I'm doing okay, then why can't they?"

I've written several posts on the topic:

Despite statistics, the consensus is still "Poverty must be the fault of the poor, even if they're children." As Dick Cheney often said, "You're on your own."
