Poverty

Many Americans struggle with poverty at some point in their life. Most people in America do not make an outstanding amount of money. The poverty presentation we saw on Wednesday opened the classes eyes on just how little the average person with poverty makes. It also shows all the things they cannot afford because small amount of money they make. One way or another, they must give up at least a few important things that each American needs. Often, it is a choice between food and health insurance or car insurance. There are millions on Americans that cannot afford health care because it can be so expensive. If a family must choose between health care and food, they will choose food everything and hope that everything works out. I am not all that surprised about the number of people in the country that live-in poverty. This year especially we hear more and more about it because of the recent presidential election. Every issue imaginable involving money you can hear about on the news every day. Unfortunately, those numbers are never in anyone’s favor.
