BTW the Obama Administration developed a new poverty metric that's been published alongside the official poverty line since 2011, with lots of improvements from the official one, and lo, here's the difference: www2.census.gov/library/publ...

I'm glad we've got several dozen grown-ass adults going "AMEN TO THIS TRUTHINESS!!" [of a rich guy napking mathing a New And Improved Poverty Line at 135 thousand US Dollars] like it's 2003 and they all *know* Saddam has the WMDs.
