Robert Rector, a poverty scholar at the conservative Heritage Foundation, calls the study "garbage."
He says it is flawed because by studying only couples, it overlooks a larger group in poverty, single mothers.
"When you look at it, this is ... a very small group," says Rector.

Anyone wanting more information on the Buffalo Commons should go to my Rutgers website, policy.rutgers.edu/faculty/popper. I and my wife Deborah Popper, a geographer at the College of Staten Island/City University of New York and Princeton University, originated the idea. The Great Plains Restoration Council, gprc.org, is the nation's only group focussed on creating the Buffalo Commons. It is based in Fort Worth, and its president is Jarid Manos, greatplains@gprc.org. Best wishes,
