If I had really made any false statements, you would have been gleefully reposting them

No. You're wrong again. I have confidence in the reader that they can read our posts, comprehend, think and decide for themselves via juxtaposition whose being honest and who's not.

(and now admit that the flaw you so long insisted didn't exist is indeed a flaw),

BTW, In light of information recently posted to this thread at post 962 and 969 showing that it is not a flaw I have moved your $150,000 HHS poverty level assertion back to where it belongs in the tinfoil-hat section and also placed that back with your accumulated dishonesties. This little ditty of yours has come full circle and is subsumed in the honesty versus dishonesty matrix which our back-and-forth created.

No, you've just decided to start lying again.

The facts remain that it is indeed a flaw in the system, and the arguments to the contrary (as well stated as they have been by ancient_geezer) are still invalid. Geezer insists that existing laws would prevent such manipulation of the poverty levels. But a defacto examination of recent history (the past decade) shows that the bureaucracies do indeed have the ability to manipulate those numbers (because even they admitted that they have done so) and that there is no real legal consequences in doing so. Until you can show me a picture of Robert Reich in prison (or indeed, suffering any punishment whatsoever) for committing the "crime" to which he confessed (May 26, 2001, New York Times), then the argument that the existing legal constraints are adequate is nonsense.
