I agree. As posted here, out of context, it sounds silly. But in context:
"For those in the bottom quintile, household income in inflation-adjusted dollars has dropped sharply, from $13,787 in 2000 to $11,651 in 2013. According to the Census Bureau, 64 million Americans currently live in the bottom quintile."

Seems like a perfectly reasonable statement.
