Exactly! This is the great con job of poverty statistics. They don’t count non-cash benefits. So, somebody could be getting “free” food stamps, housing, medical care, utility payments, meals for the kiddies at school, and even “free” phone service plus have a samll income and be counted as living in poverty. It’s a ruse designed to make Americans think their fellow citizens are starving in the streets. It’ BS!
