Briefly explain why the U.S. poverty line is controversial.
What will be an ideal response?
ANSWER: The poverty line only takes into account income, and not benefits such as medical care or food vouchers. It is too sparse, because it is based on a minimum amount needed for survival, not a balanced way of life. The rationale used to set the dollar amount also assumed one could buy ingredients in bulk quantities, people knew how to cook balanced meals from basic supplies, and the adults had the time to do all the food preparation from scratch. It does not take regional differences into account.
