Mickey Kaus has alerted readers to a change in the way the federal
government figures the poverty line and that new way so alters the formula
that we will never be able to show any improvement in rates of poverty going
foward. Worse, the new formula stops measuring strict want and instead

Poverty remains one of the most pressing problems facing the world; the
mechanisms through which poverty arises and perpetuates itself, however, are

poverty may have particular psychological consequences that can lead to

“The short-term weakness in the capital market is a reflection of long-term
