[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you read the article, [b]he's gotten criticism for starting with a poverty measure and modifying it into the minimum income to be middle class. [/b]That makes more sense as an HHI below $140k is going to seriously impact budgeting expenses in the DC area, but it's pretty ludicrous to imply that you'll struggle to meet basic needs like food or clothing at this level. It does make sense as a threshold for getting some type of housing assistance as becoming a homeowner at this income in DC is going to be close to impossible. [/quote] This is why no one reads WaPo anymore. What a shame. It was once a great, reliable paper[/quote]
