The Washington Independent: Defining Poverty

    "Federal actions cannot substitute for federal action" I've been to New York and I have been to LA and I have been several places in between. you can't tell me that New York is a different beast. But to say that a blancket program given by those idiots in Washington can come up with some amazing program to save the poverty is silly and unrealistic. 7th of income to food now a days huh? how much goes to cable and cell phone bills? How about when you go and measure for poverty you discount stupid purchases like you spent 150 dollars on basketball shoes for your 3 kids...we're going to add 450 to your income because you spent is stupidly.
