Government cheese was AWESOME! Seriously, my old man used to go get his, even though we really didn't need it. It was delicious. He used to say, "I paid for that cheese, your damn right I'm going to go get it."
You can blame the lack of Ohio grown Sensi on that stupid "War on Drugs".....Thanks, Tricky Dick!
I like my computer controlled cars. Although the one in my truck has gotten old and senile, lately.

And the average new home SF is way, way more nationwide.

I know all sorts of people.
I've seen folks poor enough that the sum total of their furniture was three old dinette chairs. They mostly lived on the floor.
You can fill your house with garbage for close to nothin', provided you have a vehicle to haul it from the Goodwill to your place. Oops.
Basically, are you saying the Census Bureau is right or "crazy" about the household income numbers since 1999?

Bernie Sanders demonstrates what an abject failure "Trickle Down Economics" has been.

Don't personally 'know' any poor folks but I sure as hell know that they are there else why do we have shelters for the homeless? Why do I see homeless veterans begging on the street?
