It's been pointed out that the basis for the poverty measurements in the US are skewed. There are two, and each side picks the one that buttresses its point to be made in that particular argument. I prefer the CBO's consistently--reading how to reconcile the official and CBO's numbers is enlightening. For various reasons, I'm 99.9% sure that this was a Biden-era work, untainted by Trumpian smudging.
