Put another way, the condition of poverty imposed a mental burden akin to losing 13 IQ points, or comparable to the cognitive difference that's been observed between chronic alcoholics and normal adults...".* Ana Kasparian, John Iadarola (TYT University and Common Room), Dave Rubin (The Rubin Report), and Desi Doyen (Green News Report) break it down on The Young Turks.
