People just above the poverty line should probably afford to buy new clothes or repair household appliances; in general, it is something essential for which one has to save money, but not particularly luxurious. The government already has programs for housing, food, and bill reductions, but the focus should also be on providing low-income families with means to communicate, educate, and be prepared for emergencies. It appears that the poverty line for one person is $12,760, but the increases for each new person do not imply multiplying that amount by the number of people. The sum is insufficient, considering the sheer number of essentials one needs, and the benefit programs may not cover everything or offer an incentive to try earning more.
If you had to define the poverty line, what would you expect people to be able to afford just above that line? For those below that line, what programs should the government offer to improve quality of life? Look up what the current definition of the poverty line is. How many people is that amount meant to support? Is this a reasonable amount since that number is used to define eligibility for many benefits?
