*Isabel Sawhill:* "Oh, it is definitely unemployment that's driving this
increase in poverty rates... [T]he very best anti-poverty policy is to have
a job. And with so many people out of work or having part-time jobs when
they'd like full-time work, it's inevitable that the poverty rate is going
to go up."

*Ron Haskins:* "We have a bad economy -- we have a lousy economy. The
numbers could not be much worse, and they haven't been much worse for many,
many years -- especially children's poverty, which is what I follow the most
closely. So it's a gloomy picture."
