"43.6 Million Americans Living In Poverty Is The Highest Number Ever Recorded?"

Absolutely meaningless number. It's the percentage that matters.

Weisenthal knows better.

This politics, not accounting. Using the 43 million number is the correct choice.

It is meaningless.

They should start the chart at 1929. I know - no data.

But there was a high percentage of Americans living in poverty after the start of the '29 depression.

I would say we didn't know it because everyone was in the same boat. But that isn't really true. We knew it and everybody, including the kids, pitched in to help.
