"Nickel and Dimed" is a good read when considering poverty in America. It is key to note that the poverty line is calculated on food and clothing costs primarily- it does not take into account housing costs. And with the recent housing crisis- demands on rental properties are extremely high, making it even worse for renters. Suffice to say, the number of people living in poverty is far greater than the official numbers tell.
