      abstract = {During the 1960's, many rural local governments were  believed to provide inadequate government services, which  hindered rural development.  Rapid growth in government  spending has substantially reduced the incidence of  government poverty.  By 1987, relatively few rural areas  could be considered government poor.  However, government  poverty continues to be a significant problem in totally  rural areas, in the South Central part of the country, and  in retirement and low-income counties.},
