2. ABC just showed a family that fits - father
cannot find a job - mother barely makes enough to cover basics. Freezer empty, refrigerate almost empty. Two children. We need to raise our voices loud - tell the govt. war is expensive - help our people first.

3. Family of four - $21,954.

Wow. That's not much for a family of four... :-(


Thresholds

* As defined by the Office of Management and Budget and updated for inflation using the Consumer Price Index, the weighted average poverty threshold for a family of four in 2009 was $21,954. Since the average annual CPI-U for 2009 was lower than the average annual CPI-U for 2008, poverty thresholds for 2009 are slightly lower than the corresponding thresholds for 2008. (See <http://www.census.gov/hhes/www/cpstables/032010/pov/new35_000.htm> for the complete set of dollar value thresholds that vary by family size and composition.)
