The federal poverty line today "really doesn't come anywhere close" to meeting the actual goods and services families need in modern society, argues financial strategist Michael Green. Author & host @hartmannreport.com adds that this is driven by a system "designed to enrich the rich." #Velshi
America’s ‘bizarre economics’ is designed to ‘enrich the rich’ and it's leaving many people behind
Government data shows that America’s official poverty rate is on the decline, but that’s based on an outdated calculation of the poverty threshold that ignores how life has changed in the six decades since it was first implemented. Many recent polls show that the majority of Americans are continuing to struggle under an economic system in which they “often find themselves running very hard simply to stay in place,” as financial strategist Michael Green puts it. Author and radio host Thom Hartmann adds, “This is really being driven by kind of an insane combination of bizarre economics and politics designed to enrich the rich.”

It’s impossible to overstate what a big deal this is for this legendary Kentucky brand. The last time Jim Beam closed down like this was during Prohibition. Trump’s tariffs & fight with Canada are surely to blame.

Missouri faces budget crunch as capital gains tax cut hits harder than expected
