the united states has not seen the true effects of poverty since the great depression...I am poor. I don’t live in poverty. I don’t have to decide between shelter or food. most people I no who are poor don’t have to decide whether to feed them selves or there children and end up feeding them selves so they have the ability to work so they can feed there kids that have gone hungry... when ever I hear about kids going hungry if you investigate usually its poor decision making with the parents or parents that care more about there drug or alcohol problems then the will fare of there kids...
You are exactly correct.
