Catholics say government hides facts on US poverty levels
The Catholic Campaign for Human Development released an 80 page report claiming 40 million Americans are poor, 65 percent higher than official 24.3 million in 1974. It urges a new poverty index based on half the median family income and says government data underestimates poverty to reduce costs and protect reputation. The group has funded 900 antipoverty programs with $25 million over five years.
