Sidenote but I have intro’d legislation to direct the US government to reformulate the US poverty calculation to reflect real life. There are challenges to this, some political - an accurate measure means poverty line/pop will jump & that has implications https://t.co/mePVzOUVTR — PolitiTweet.org

This means there are likely a LOT more poor people in the US than we admit. Policymakers know this, so they try to compensate by drafting some federal policies at 150% of the fed poverty line, etc. But when the measure is SO nonsensical, even 150% of pov line has little basis — PolitiTweet.org
