The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

No, it's actually all you, in this case you are misinformed, exactly what you think other are. The first article I read on this, the third paragraph told me that during the pandemic we had a special credit for kids, and this took many of the kids out of the poverty zone. It also noted that there are two ways to measure poverty, first is income, second is taking into account related credits, etc., which is more accurate, So I'm not going to look this up for you, but please note the good source I read told me that the increase in poverty in kids, is the elimination of the credit, which got voted out since we are now endemic. Sheila took someone to task over this and I chuckled. Have we lost commonone?

LOL.
If you need transfer payments and credits to stay above the poverty line, you're not really above the poverty line, are you? Economics and the basics thereof don't appear to be a thing in whatever piece you're referring to.

Secondly, double LOL at referring to what other people post and not backing your own (highly incorrect and logically flawed) arguments with your own sources. Come on, man.

The fact remains. The poverty level is up. If someone was fine before the pandemic, lost their job and had to rely on assistance and now that the assistance is expiring...because we don't have a pandemic anymore no matter how badly some democrats want us to have one...and now they're worse off than they were in 2019, that's due to a worse economic picture and NOT on the GOP.

Try again.
