Summary George magazine discovers that the booming economy has hurt America's invisible poor. In a road trip into the backyards of George W Bush and Al Gore, Maharidge found working people as desperate as the homeless. He found hunger in country houses that has a deceptive middle-class look, single mothers waiting in line for free food despite holding multiple jobs and a border town in Texas with unpaved roads and homes without running water.
