Not poverty in terms of dollars per day, poverty in terms of access to any kind of services at all.... starving to death with no access to water or medical care, no chance of shelter, etc, etc, etc... At one point, after the army, I was homeless for about 7 months with no family or friends to help me, and yet, having lived in a bunch of places around the world, I can tell you that people in the US have no idea what poverty, as the rest of the world know it, is like.
