USDA Threshold of Poverty & Self-Sufficiency Standard update

from Food First · host Phil Knight

'The best social program is a job.' - Ronald Reagan Times have changed, however, Mr. Reagan. The best social program is now a job that actually pays a living wage. Phil and Gerry delve into the current U.S. Department of Agriculture policy concerning food insecurity in America, the threshold of poverty, and the most up-to-date Self-Sufficiency Standard (SSS). The SSS determines the budget needed for 719 family styles in each county in Michigan to be independent and is incredibly powerful. https://www.fbcmich.org/selfsufficiencystandard 'If there is one person in this country that is hunger, that is one too many.' - Ronald Reagan
