In the U.S., the problems occurred within the context of a $15 trillion economy and in a country that still has the trust of the world.” Which shows that we need to continue to grow and not stop in mid tracks because stopping will bring global

Though evaluating the anti-poverty approach listed above, what I have come to notice is that the government had made very few progresses to remedy our poverty crisis. At the moment, one in five American children is subjected to “food stamp”. A lot of political and social changes have took place in American since the Social Security Bill was first introduced, yet a majority the policies that we use to address our poverty concerns remain the same. Our public assistance programs hesitated to adapt to the industrial transformations and hence, did not adjust the amount of aid toward the already vulnerable working-poor. Coupled with the lack of aid, our welfare system has become completely “rule based”. Our welfare system today focused more on formality, and has done little to counter the impacts of our ongoing recessions and globalization.

According to the article on Waging war on poverty, without the help of the government, it would have been hard to manage the poverty rates from 1972 to 2012. It is said that the poverty levels would have risen from 25 percent to 31 percent instead of dropping from 19 percent to 16 percent. As such, the government was able to reduce poverty levels by 15 percent. The article addresses some of the measures the government took into consideration to curb the rise of poverty levels. Through the use of data and methods, the government was able to monitor, and estimate the poverty thresholds, and also calculate the non-discretionary expenses and resources. The approach is described as units, resources, threshold and the expenses incurred Christopher,

The other explanation for cause of poverty can be explained through the human capital theory, which asserts that the more education and skills an individual has, the better his/her job will be. There remains a skills gap between the rural and urban dwellers, where it is generally believed the urban dwellers are more skilled that the rural dwellers. This skills gap is attributed as the major cause of poverty among the rural population in the country. The other causes of poverty are related to the changes in the government spending, the economy and family compositions (Haskins & Sawhill, 2007). A welfare system or a church family that doesn’t encourage people to work for their food and one that promotes laziness is not good. But there will be times when disability strikes, when the job market is terrible, or when costs are just too high
