		<description>Re: The high cost of poverty. What a load of cr@p that article is. A few quotes:

- &#039;The rich have direct deposit for their paychecks&#039;. Really? I didn&#039;t know there was a minimum income to join a bank....oh wait, there&#039;s not.
 
- &#039;The real estate is higher&#039;. Really? I beg to differ. I am a City Planner by trade so I&#039;m well aware of real estate costs.

- &#039;I didn&#039;t have the money and no source of getting money&#039;. How about a J-O-B!

- &#039;But how are you going to get in a house if you don&#039;t have any money for a down payment&#039;? Even in today&#039;s climate you can get a 100% loan with just okay credit. And for a measely 3.5% down with $hitty credit.

- &#039;I ride the bus to get to work,&quot; Nicholas says. It takes an hour. &quot;If I could drive, it would take me 10 minutes.&#039; ...or maybe 20 minutes tops if you got a bike.

...and I could go on with the &#039;poor me&#039; quotes and inaccuracies but I&#039;m sure the intelligent folks on this site will note the rest of the bunk. 

This is the biggest load of guilt ridden, biased, unresearched garbage I&#039;ve read in a long time. Ms. C do me a favor and keep this junk on your blog and off one my my favorite places to kill a few minutes and learn something....that is something worth while.

		<description>Oh no! I can&#039;t seem to get the link to the &quot;girls in science&quot; article to work.

I can&#039;t wait to read it. I read one almost a year ago bemoaning the disproportionate amount of young women attending higher education institutions compared to a dwindling number of young men - &quot;gynoversities,&quot; they hollered. It&#039;s all so very poetic and quite amusing, no?</description>

		<description>&quot;Wealthy people donâ€™t realize that the poorer you are, the more you pay for just the basics.&quot;

Oh, they *realize*... they just don&#039;t *care*.</description>
