Good post. I’m been looking for topics as interesting as this.Very informative and information presented very well,i really liked reading your post which has delivered a great information about the impact of poverty on Americans.The nation’s economic crisis has deeply affected the lives of millions of Americans. Skyrocketing foreclosures and job layoffs have pulled the rug out from under many families, particularly those living in low-income communities..

Poverty is very painful to watch.
Poor people cannot even fulfill their basic needs of food, clothing and shelter.
This post really explains poverty in America wonderfully with all the images.
The government should take part in this and find some solution to reduce Poverty.
