Inside America's Most Extreme Poverty: Life at the Bottom
Video Overview & Insights
43 million people in the United States now live below the poverty line, twice as many as it was fifty years ago. 1.5 million children are homeless, three times more than during the Great Depression the 1930s. Entire families are tossed from one place to another to work unstable jobs that barely allow them to survive. In the historically poor Appalachian mining region, people rely on food stamps for food. In Los Angeles, the number of homeless people has increased dramatically. In the poorest neighbourhoods, associations offer small wooden huts to those who no longer have a roof.
Because their tax money goes to Israel. 🤣🤣🤣 Not the American people, though.

If we're serious about reducing poverty in America, we should start by looking at where taxpayer money goes. Regardless of who is president, billions of dollars are spent each year on projects, travel, political events, and programs that many Americans believe could be scaled back. Every unnecessary dollar spent is a dollar that can't be invested in helping struggling families. Imagine what could be done if we redirected even a fraction of that money toward affordable housing, job training, mental health care, addiction treatment, infrastructure, schools, and programs that help people become financially independent. This isn't about Republicans versus Democrats. It's about expecting every elected official to spend our tax dollars responsibly and prioritize the needs of everyday Americans over politics and appearances. If we want to fight poverty, accountability and smart budgeting should be part of the solution.

The USA is an absolute mess under Trump!
@jackntwinsThey're not homeless, they're houseless. There is a difference. If you look at how according to the bible life began, no one had a home. The way things are going that's the government plans for all of us. They made a statement once that goes; " You will have own nothing, and you will be happy", think that is where we heading.
@iamsheziegler56521500 euros? It’s America
@Melanie174How is this a developed country?
Africa is way better
I've seen worse.
@ES-mc3ccbeing poor is not an excuse to be dirty... some should be ashamed
@queenjade3hate this world
@milkk3019Almost the same in Europe. You dont get housing when you been evicted. You need confirmation of being debt free etc. The doku is misleading
@2026bkjhkIn the UK a credit check will tell you how likely someone is to keep up payments, also red flags of past 6 years of defaults are included,
@troopersemakulaI slept in my car for four years, and it's exhausting, treating your car like a home helps, keeping it clean, organized, and having a safe sleeping space helps.
@NicoleAnderson-t3i1ka literal shithole of a country, the fact it has ANY power on the world stage is a tragedy and sign of the failure of modern society.
@narupivwhy blame this on Trump? the problems people can't find work is different than being in Virginia and California. YOU said that. need to blame the governors or the mayors in individual states. you can't find a job here, then you go somewhere else. businesses are moving out of New York? why? because of who running it and their policies. you have crime. that's not on Trump. that's on the family. when Obama was in, 2008, the economy crashed. I remember that. there were no jobs for any body. I was homeless for 7 months, lived in my car. Ive been there. oh stop about trump!!!!!!! blaming it on him??? you hate him. keep your opinions to yourself. present the video unbiased without your own feelings. you democrats house illegals and kick veterans out. you house them before you house Americans. an immigrant has to be in the US for five years before they get welfare. democrats give it when they arrive. you put them on medicaid and food stamps and they contributed nothing to this country. you have working people living in that parking lot and they are paying taxes, contributing and then you give illegals a place to live. you use these people money to pay for them. quit going on about Trump. he doesn't do that.
@Gator-atorAnd no housing company will put you on the street for missing one month of rent.We also dont turn off the electric ,gas,water or cable or internet. In Holland you can always talk to the people who run these things and make an arrangement to pay off your debt, like every month some €50 or so.
Every person has the right to do this. And I am getting close to €1100 a month. That is why I am so happy to be born in Holland.
I am a female bass player and drummer from Amsterdam Holland and my country lets no person,unemployed or not,live without medical insurance. If you get money from the state, you are automatically insured for medical problems. I love Obamacare, and that clown 🤡 Trump took it away again. Lets put his ass without medical insurance.
@SandraRuijsI love hearing about the poor people who support Trump 😂
@Local_Bank_RobberWhy does the Government have no housing plan for them? So sad.
@remiafrancis301David needs to clean his place before his kids come over. That’s kind of gross. Show some dignity.
@CDKVSorry but Maria is t living in extreme poverty.
@CDKVWhat is he talking about Euros? This is America
@CDKVTrump's America!
@JeffBrown-pb5qrSo this is what making America great again is like? The land of the free Not and justice not ! Corruption in government paying judges off to escape justice truth and all things that the law should abide by there constitution what constitution? And that’s why Obama said why don’t we have a free health care system like Australia does. And who want to make America great again only the super wealthy look out for themselves they don’t care about the rest of the people their getting the benefits not the people who need it like the quote in the series in the West wing best quote that speaks the truth- https://youtu.be/fJh9t9h6Wn0?si=eRhKwBDNCeIuN6yf
@hippyamigo3You would think a few of these people would get together and try to get an apartment together to be able to afford it. They seem reasonable. Our culture just doesn’t believe in people living together to survive.
@margaretpatton376As ugly as divorce is, it has to get even uglier and you fight that ex spouse if yours for half of everything. I don't care how painful and exhausting it is. The first lady has an incredible resolve to survive yet sentenced herself to living in a car because she chose to give him everything. NEVER EVER do that.bEVER.
@Michele-f5u#vanlife .......
@willn8664This people here speaking like the rent system in Europe is so much better… I am a single mom in 🇪🇸 and I cannot find and apartment to live… I have a Job, always have… I live in a smaller city that has a shit tone of empty apartments and yet no one will rent to me because the laws here says that if I don’t pay the owner cannot make me and cannot kick me out, and they still have to pay the mortgage and the utilities bills so they rather have the house empty… I don’t apply for any government program because I do work…. And lets not even start on the prices….
@BarrieFamilyTVThe first lady , her complexion is too beautiful for a homeless woman, and what is this discussion of euros if you are showing people in US cities?? 🙄🙄🙄🙄
@Jasmina-r1t6iImagine if the billions spent on destruction were invested in dignity. We could have built homes instead of bombs, hope instead of fear. But the White House remains the White House—untouched, untroubled while millions of Americans are left with no house to call their own. This isn't just policy; it's a moral failure painted in red, white, and blue. Very painful post.
@lionelshivaNot true about everyone can find a job . For example age discrimination.
@mallorys549The United States of America, a land of immense contradictions – I’m glad to be Italian. We have a public healthcare system that’s amongst the best in the world and a social welfare system for the poor; no one ends up on the streets. I’ve been to the US several times – the scenery is wonderful – but I could never live in a country where one day you’re filthy rich and the next you’re poor and homeless. God Bless and help these people🙏💖 very sad to watch
@iosole7668Have a good day, he is disgusting
@karensmith733That poor woman, how could they get the wrong address, unprofessional
@karensmith733And they call this yje best country in the world, what a joke
@karensmith733I think ang 6G is yun SATELLITE Mobile yun hindi na gagamit ng cell site nag testing na ang Globe at Smart. Si Globe ang partner niya is Starlink
@SenyorArvinThere are 47 million people homeless in America today. And criminal president wants to take away food stamps. President Johnson put that in place to fight poverty. Not person collect look they dont need. I just don't understand.
@mareeosborne5560"But for the grace God go I"
@mareeosborne5560I was born and raised in poverty from Appalachia...
Unless you have a disability, mentally or physically then you have the opportunity to do whatever you want. Most people are too lazy to improve themselves or are stupid and have children prior to achieving financial success then in turn are supported via gov.
Why do you keep saying denos instead of money our you in mexico
@ValeryMiller-m5iLove how this channel is definitely anti Trump
@AtticusSmoIt's about the US but he keeps talking in "euros"?
@Nrod1332Ps the West is turning into a 3rd world country!! Edit though Trump has spent billions on illegal wars, a reflective pool + a bullet proof ballroom. Who voted for that?? WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND WHY ANYONE WUD VOTE 4 TRUMP, dumm as a stump!!
@lolabelle4959In the UK tenants claim squatters rights + takes 6 to 2 yrs to get them out. Alot play the system + move in without any intention of ever paying rent!!
@lolabelle4959Capitalism is failing us
@Neutralm1lfhotelWhy are they saying euros if this is America? Just curious!
@TheDankestWormDue to the high cost of living I'm pretty sure the rate of poverty would be going up. Rents are way to high - people can't afford to live. Right now, I've not been as poor as I am at 68 yrs old - not been this poor in years due to my rent being so high. I live in a little dumpy apt that rents for over $1400. Please help the homeless. And don't look down on homeless or low-income people!
@MuseCircuitStudioHer own race (or any race for that matter!) and she's going to be that way and call the cops to take away their little home - so bad, so shameful! Good people care about others!
@MuseCircuitStudioA very good documentry!
