How Poor is Poor?

Go see this article in National Review Online which describes just how well America's poor live. Far from hunger, most overeat. A majority have multiple TVs, air conditioning, cable and cell phones. Try three quotes:
The average poor American has more living space than the average non-poor European.
Ninety-nine percent of children did not skip a single meal during 2009 because of lack of financial resources.
More than half of the families defined as poor by the Census Bureau have a computer in the home.
Maybe we should redefine poverty....
