The underlying question here is of course how poverty is defined, and if that definition equates to actual poverty. 


This from Wikipedia:



Along the same lines, it seems that welfare, food stamps etc, are not counted towards one income when studying "poverty" in the United States.  Certainly there are some people that are hurting...but a simple statistic that "poverty increased" doesn't mean much of anything without establishing the parameters for the study in my view.
