Roughly 4 million people die annually in the USA from all causes. More than 50% of them would have to die from 'poverty' if Bobert's 'millions' would be correct.

The only widely cited guess I have found is that 27 children die per day in the USA from poverty, which makes less than 10,000 annually. If you add the adults you'd be still far from 'millions'.

I think Bobert uses exaggerated figures like that for the effect and we shouldn't read them as an attempt of correct reporting.

But even if the truth is closer to 'tens of thousands' it is a shame.
