Why is it problematic to use the official poverty line to determine the threshold for living in poverty?
◦ The formula is based on food costs, which have declined relative to other expenses.
◦ Most Americans do not understand how to calculate the poverty line.
◦ The official poverty line assumes that women are taking care of the home while men are working.
◦ Many Americans exaggerate the extent of their poverty in order to be eligible for benefits.
