Every time the census come out, they classify these counters as persistent poverty counters. And so I've always maintained and I've got it in 17 appropriations accounts, something I call 10, 20, 30. And then they say A county is considered to be in persistent poverty when 20% or more of the population are stuck between the poverty level for 30 years. And so I said we ought to direct or target at least 10% of all the money in this account into those counties. So 10% of the money should go over 20% of the model population. (32:07–32:20)
