I agree with you that if Americans are living in squalor there will be
a populist reaction. But Americans aren't living in squalor. The average poor person in this country has housing with air conditioning, multiple TVs, a car, an xbox or other game console, a washer & dryer, a dishwasher, etc, etc, and is more likely to be overweight than malnourished. None of this is to say poverty is not a problem and we shouldn't do more to lift people out of poverty, but I don't think we're going to have a populist uprising because of people living in squalor.
