(Before It's News)

Despite hyped up rhetoric claiming they care about the skyrocketing number of poor in the US Congress goes on summer recess without taking action.

With the 2012 elections coming up in November, the economy seems to be on everybody’s mind.

Senators claim they want to focus on jobs, but lawmakers have already gone on their summer break and have taken little action in the creation of jobs and stimulating the economy in the last couple years.

This as the latest census data is the worst in 50 years showing nearly 100 million Americans now living in poverty and 60 minutes reveals a record number of American families are now living in cars.

So does Congress actually care about this issue? Nicholas Carnes of Duke University explains.
