Were it not for the source, it would hardly be news to learn that the United States can’t take care of its most needy — that it may be the richest country, but it is also increasingly, appallingly, unequal in how its wealth and opportunities are shared. When the various dimensions of human security are examined, critics have long noted that the U.S. falls short, whether in treatment of children, poverty rates, income gaps between rich and poor or even life expectancy. All this has been amply documented in annual reports of the United Nations Development Programme.
