44M Americans face food insecurity amid economic growth claims
A U.S. anti-hunger group on Monday criticized the notion that hungry Americans could subsist on positive economic reports amid rising food insecurity.
CEO of Hunger Free America Joel Berg highlighted the disconnect between economic growth and widespread poverty.
He called out the trend of relying on economic indicators when 44 million Americans, including 13 million children, are living in food-insecure households.
Berg also emphasized that economic statistics mainly benefit the wealthy while neglecting structural flaws in the economy.
Despite inflation easing, corporations’ price gouging persists, worsening financial strain on Americans.
Data from the Federal Reserve revealed soaring wealth among the top 1%, propelled by the stock market.
Meanwhile, calls for wealth taxes and wage increases face hurdles in Congress.
