Poverty is portrayed in a very simplistic fashion in the media.  It is usually something that impacts other people far removed from your immediate family.  However, poverty is incredibly widespread.  This shouldn’t come as a surprise.  We already know that half of the country lives paycheck to paycheck and is simply one small emergency from being out on the streets.  We also know that in 2015 45,000,000+ people were assisted by food stamps.  The number is still incredibly high but this year, nearly 1 million will lose access to food stamps because of how theunemployment rate is reported.  Poverty is very real.  The Brookings Institute just did a study and found that virtually half of Americans have endured some form of poverty.  The report runs counter to the “great recovery” narrative.
