With one of every seven Americans -- and 20% of all U.S. children -- now officially impoverished, the nation is finally back to the official level of poors last seen during the 1992-1994 recession.Unofficially, the number is at least twice that high, as "experts think that people who are getting by on as much as twice the official poverty line should nonetheless be considered poor." In either case, things are terrible but they're also getting much worse.
