There's a difference between poor and broke.

Broke is a momentary state of being.

Poor is a permanent mindset.

I prefer the word under funded. Under funded implies that someone is living off of someone else's money.

I'm guessing "under-resourced" is actually replacing "underprivileged," not poor.

I guess technically Mom was poor and we were on food stamps for a few years.

You could argue that we were under resourced since Dad didn't pay child support every month.

No shame in it and a driving factor in my life.

So they're replacing a "privilege" with an entitlement, then. Not too hard to see what the end game is. Privileges are earned. Entitlements get government money thrown at them. Just setting up the case for more wealth distribution via government handouts and the higher taxes that will go along with it.

Democrats only control 1/5 of the government. You are politically correct.
