I think this is a good illustration of why, when the federal government brings in poverty reduction legislation, it needs to include reviewing the impact of laws, policies, and regulations in light of what impact they might have on poverty reduction. I think this is a good example of where it likely won't have a very big impact on families in poverty.
I should also point out that we've talked a lot about families in poverty, but among the groups that experience some of the highest rates of poverty are single adults, working-age adults, and people with disabilities, newcomers, and so on.
