In today’s episode:

• A recent article got a lot of attention for claiming that the new poverty line is $140,000 a year.
• Jessica and John discuss the article and the criticism -- that number feels pretty high, even for a family.
• However, everyone's in agreement that the current poverty line doesn't meet the moment. People are struggling right now across America.
