To be clear: this isn’t the “we stopped paying promised grant money” but is literally the federal government yanking money out of an NYC bank account.

            Trickle down working to you means the poorest Americans have not increased in net worth and the wealthiest Americans are getting richer? How is that wealth, which is being funneled to to top, “trickling down”. Maybe turn your phone right side up so you can see how the graphs are supposed to look.

                  We are talking about relative poverty. A person in poverty in the US is much better than a person in poverty in North Korea.

                    No one is talking about North Korea. We are talking about poverty in America then vs now. Trying to move the goalpost to include a completely unrelated datapoint is pointless.

                    You also completely ignored my rather direct question.
