Kelly S on 11 Jan 11Ohio has the top 3 poorest cities. i thought that ohio had tones of money before this came up. Its sad that Ohio can't help the people in those city. Why can't we lower the taxes or something like that to help the people that need it.

Strauss V on 14 Jan 11I was surprised to see the one of the facts said that poverty is a much more complex problem today than it was when the war on poverty began in the 1960s. I would have thought that that it would have gotten better because there were more jobs avaliable and more money. It would make sense to be bad in the 1960s because there werent a lot of jobs available. What if it keeps getting worse? What will happen in about 50 years from now? Will everybody be living in poverty? It would be helpful to find these answers out now.

Reed E on 14 Jan 11I think this quote hits the nail on the head. "We're seeing a different wave of people using our health centers as the recession hits people in the middle class who have recently lost their jobs," - Julie DiRossi if the economy keeps tanking the way it has been the U.S is in trouble, the majority of this country is people in the middle class and if people keep losing jobs and not being able to build the econonmy up and its just a circling problem
