Session 6

People in the US and globally are poor for so many reasons, but recently here in the U.S one of the main reasons is the downfall in the economy, the lack of jobs, and the amount of people getting fired and laid off. The more I read about poverty the more I realize that things are a lot worse than what I had originally thought.  In the U.S. there 1 in 7 Americans that are in living in poverty, and it is not getting any better. People are having to rely on what they have to make it in todays world, and if you don't have much saved or know one to help you out, than your stuck in tough situation and left with counting on the government, which at that point is scary! I think during this time with lack of jobs that there needs to be more programs to help aid people who are in poverty.
