1. source: CQ Researcher
2. author: Charles S. Clark
3. timeliness: 1996
4. evidence: there is a bibliography listed with all the sources
5. bias: the source seems to not be biased; it gives both viewpoints (both pro and con)
6. advertising: the website is not trying to sell anything
This source seems to be pretty credible because it offers multiple viewpoints and is not just an advertisement; it is really trying to communicate information. The only thing that makes me a little nervous about this source is that it is not recent. Therefore, I might need to compare it with more current information.

Published by the National Association of Social Workers in 1982, this would seem to be a dated but reliable source. However, this article is provides a history of the poverty line. The author is a professor of social welfare at the University of Kansas and seems qualified on the topic. Evidence comes from numerous government documents and scholarly articles providing statistics to support the claims the author is making.

I see this as an ideal source. The only thing that I think will top this will be the actual technical documents and research done by the people who came up with the system. I think it's ideal because it's a trusted source, a peer review is automatically part of the recorded proceedings, and it's a good summary and organization of technical facts and research. Although it is a second hand source, it is perhaps the highest quality second hand source you could possible have. As a bonus, it was prepared for the U.S. government - the same organization that is currently in the middle of making a decision on my issue right now (albeit a different committee).
