Re: "Poverty in America" -- Big Numbers / Little Hardship
The article is ridiculous. Data obtained from organizations like "Heritage", "Acton" and similar are as much reliable for the understanding of the reality in the modern America as was the newspaper "Pravda" (the main official journal of the USSR) for understanding the life realities in the former USSR.
When speaking of poverty, one has to take into account not only what one nominally possesses, but also how much indebted he is.
