what did eden and schafer do? they used income data that i have party told you you should ignore and robert has emphasized as well. they repeatedly make choices that exaggerate extreme poverty, first, they do not count any -- in-kind transfers. they used a short time period in the worst month and the comparable home. they use a price that overstates insulation so the income cutoffs they use rise too fast. and they do not look to see whether low income means low spending, means really a low standard of living, and most importantly, they use broken income data that is beyond repair. that leave us in terms tanf reform? let me just mention this briefly, existing block grants may be insufficiently responsive to economic downturns and provide states too much spending latitude, but that is an open question. worker requirements probably could be improved. besides family living standards and work, we should also be thinking about nonmarital fertility, which is way too high. unfortunately, we lack good evidence that making

now -- eden and schafer do? they used income data that i have already told you you should ignore and robert has emphasized as well. they repeatedly make choices that exaggerate extreme poverty, and let me go down the list. first, they do not count any kind of transfers. they used a short time period in the worst month and the compare a boom. to the bottom of the worst recession since the great depression of 2011. the use of price index that overstates inflation, so the income cutoff if it rises too fast, and they do not look to see whether low income means low spending means really a low standard of living, and most importantly, they use broken income data that is beyond repair. so where does that leave us in terms of reform? let me just mention this briefly, existing block grants may be insufficiently responsive to economic downturns and provide states too much spending latitude, but that is an open question. worker requirements probably could be improved. besides family living standards and work, we should als

what do you did and schafer do? that i haveata party told you you should ignore and robert has emphasized as well. they repeatedly make choices that exaggerate extreme poverty, and let me go down the list. first, they do not count any kind of transfers. they used a short time period in the worst month and the comparable home. , 1996, to the bottom of the worst recession since the great depression of 2011. the use of price index that overstates inflation, so the income cutoff if it rises too fast, and they do not look to see whether low income means low spending means really a low standard of living, and most importantly, they use broken income data that is beyond repair. so it does that leave us in terms of reform? brieflyust mention this , existing block grants may be insufficiently responsive to economic downturns and provide states too much spending latitude, but that is an open question. worker requirements probably .ould be improved besides family living standards we should also be thinking about nonmarital fer

and it's important for you to be familiar with, so get the byron schafer/richard johnston book, get my book. together the two are kind of like one of those muhammad ali one-two punches. it'll be really helpful. yes. >> hi, i'm. >> george washington -- i'm from george washington university, it seems the system is rigged. so my question is, what can we do specifically to get back to the rule of law? >> number one, you have to expose the kernel of what's going on. look what these recent scandals show. number one, the democrats -- the party called democrats -- are rigging their own elections. unbelievable. they're running a soviet-style election in america. right? amazing. number two, when you listen to the private conversation of democrats, you realize that the the party of racism hasn't changed all that much. their hispanic initiative? they call it the taco bell initiative. they make all kinds of fun of blacks, homosexuals. they want to use bernie sanders' alleged atheism against him. this is a party in its actual private, you may say uncensored speech. imagine if this was trump and the

the other is the source of the data used by eden and schafer. these surveys are so flawed through poverty measurement should be abandoned and less linked to a ministry of data. you heard a version of that from robert rector and i will emphasize that as well. using a slightly different analogy than he did, income surveys are measuring costs riddled with holes. the holes are the benefits and other transfers that are not reported in the survey. claims claims shortly, but lete into some good news. the consumer expenditure survey provides actual living standards. it indicates what people are actually spending on things like food and housing, and it reflects cash transfers from others and savings. in work that i have done with jim sullivan, we find strong evidence that low consumption is more closely associated with deprivation than low income. so looking at consumption gives you a better idea of people's living standards. what i'm going to show you is what we call well measured consumption. that's food at home, rent, utilities, gasoline, percentage o

. >> by the way, a big hello to dustin schafer from loveland. i want to show you this beautiful picture sent in by meagan. this was a sunset last night in frank town. she captured that western spirit with her horses there in the for ground and the beautiful colors in the sky. i want to remind you you can get in touch with me through facebook, twit e fun, but never really informative snap chat. so many different ways to get ahold of me if you want to know your forecast and you want to send cool pictures like meagan. our temperatures today are going to be warmer than yesterday. and tomorrow, it's going to be warmer than today. unfortunately we're dealing with smoke and haze from a few wild fires in colorado in a neighbor states so that's going to cause problems with our air quality and a chance for rain in the metro area is going to be slim as we go throu the state. in the high state, temperatures in the 50s. 30s some spots. sunny on the eastern plains. temperatures in the mid 50s and ray with plenty of sunshine. let's zoom in more on the metro ar

this was the claim in the book by kathy eden and luke schafer, the number of kids living on $2 a day have increased over time. as you can see first of all, if you look out at the purple line, a little more volatility because there are fewer people in the sample. but again the 2013 line about the same as 1996 your ago 72014. i'm not sure how serious that is. you can take it seriously but it's not much change. what's more important when you correct for underreporting of benefit you get these lines at the bottom that basically show you that no kid lives on $2 a day in the trinity is there any household survey picked to our homeless children generally do not show up in these surveys. and we don't know what the trent end homelessness is the i devote some time in my paper to that as well. essentially in 2012, one in 1500 children were living in extreme poverty. this doesn't include corrections for underreporting of private income. the other point i want to make, they make a big deal about cash being different than non-cash benefits. which is an important point in some regards but even if y
