Welcome
I am Brooks Wilson, a retired professor of economics at McLennan Community College in Waco, Texas, and I earned a Ph.D. in Agricultural Economics from the University of California at Davis. After a couple of years of retirement, I found that I am not ready to leave economics behind. I am grateful for every reader and commenter.

Just for information so most that don't know will know here is a link to a site that has a chart on
ReplyDeletethe 2011 Federal Poverty Guidelines.
http://www.usac.org/_res/documents/li/pdf/Income_Requirements.pdf
Something most should know if they don't. Ones that have never seen this are almost always surprised of where they land by this document.Also I found another chart that shows the poverty level state by state.
