Poverty in United States, the faces behind the numbers

It will get worse. Sadly we live in a nation where those that have don't care about those that don't.

The other issue is poor planning, people just don't prepare for hard times. Many live in middle class, have cable, cell phones, eat out, spend spend spend, but don't save a dime. We're a nation or culture that promotes spending, not planning. I think we should add a class to high school that teaches finance at a usable level.

What's really sad is those that face disease and disability that have no cures, most end up in utter poverty alone.
