Poverty in America Is Mainstream Response

After increasing levels of poverty in America, most Americans now don't worry about if they'll fall under poverty, but rather when they will fall. Luckily, the average time that people spend in poverty is short. We usually fall under poverty  after losing a job, cutting back the hours you work, divorce, or medical problems. I believe that poverty is becoming worse in America; our rate is approximately twice the European average. Simply because "poverty is mainstream." People believe that once you are in poverty, you have the chances of eventually growing out of it. But why not prevent it? Go to school, get a job with a decent wage, and maintain good health.
