Having previously explained President Obama's recovery in charts,
we thought words and pictures would be a better indicator of the dire
situation facing so many Americans that get missed by the business
media's spotlight. With 9.4 million more Americans below the poverty line than before the crisis, as The LA Times reports, it's
disturbing to see so many people so destitute - even if they're
working - that they've resorted to selling body fluids to make ends
meet. The going rate for plasma donation, which can
take a couple of hours, is about $25 or $30. But Octapharma is offering
$50 for the first five visits, "when you get that $50, you feel good," one plasma 'seller' said, "I paid my gas bill."
