New Poverty Measure

Lot's of media coverage of this. 

What really torqued me off was the American Enterprise Institute (Conservative Think Tank) noting that many "poor" people have Air Conditioning (This is a Luxury in a trailer house in the American South?), Computers (50%), cell phones, etc.  Whats next, denouncing the existence of indoor plumbing as a needless luxury?

On NPR.  Why give S*&$#@%* like that the air time.

What's killing me financially is the transportation cost. And my credit card debt (Where's my bailout?).

The assault on those on the bottom of our two tier society continues.
