Poverty rate drops for first time since 2006

It doesn't have much to do with job creation. An administration finally decided to tackle the absurd imbalance in social payments to the non-working elderly compared to young working class families with children. Medicaid expansion is probably the primary cause. Unfortunately, the Medicaid expansion bills were dumped on states, not paid for by eliminating WFA in Medicare as originally planned.

Baby steps.

Thank you President Obama.

He bought you a birthday gift with your credit card. Bow down to your master.

You think the poverty rate should be higher?  What evidence do you have increased borrowing by government is what caused the decline?

Nice non sequitur. I think he should pay for decent policy, like Medicaid expansion for the working u-65 demographic, by cutting the waste and inefficiency from other social programs.
