I have read that the "Well-Being-Index" of the "Gallup 1000-Institute" showed dramatic figures:
In 2008 9% of the Americans said that that they faded the problem that they weren't able to buy enogh food, during the last year. In 2011 19% of the Americans said that they faded the problem that they weren't able to buy enogh food, during the last year.
During the same time this percentage decreased from 16 to 6 % in China.
These figures mean that the wealth in China is growing, but becreasing in the USA. According to official figures of the census - unbelievable - 46.2 million people (15 % of the adults and 22 of the children) are living below the poverty line.
What is your opinion ? Do you think this is true ?
