The dismal statistics continue to mount in Obama’s America.

The Census Bureau reports:

The number of children receiving food stamps remains higher than it was before the start of the Great Recession in 2007, according to the U.S. Census Bureau’s annual Families and Living Arrangements table package released today.

The rate of children living with married parents who receive food stamps has doubled since 2007. In 2014, an estimated 16 million children, or about one in five, received food stamp assistance compared with the roughly 9 million children, or one in eight, that received this form of assistance prior to the recession.

The agency notes, “Of the 73.7 million children under 18 in the United States, 38 percent have at least one foreign-born parent (28.3 million).” It also reports the share of children who live with one parent only has tripled since 1960, from about 9 percent to 27 percent.

CBS reports the only industrialized country in the world to have a higher poverty rate is Romania.

“It’s shocking, and it doesn’t have to be this way,” Caroline Fichtenberg, director of research at the Children’s Defense Fund, tells the news network.

“It’s in our economic interest to address child poverty.”

Despite the numbers, CBS rates Lyndon Johnson’s war on poverty “successful.”

This news comes on the heels of a Washington Post report claiming the majority of public school students are “in poverty.”

“The Southern Education Foundation reports that 51 percent of students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade in the 2012-2013 school year were eligible for the federal program that provides free and reduced-price lunches,” according to the paper.
