Review # 1 was written on 2018-11-14 00:00:00 Erick Viera I read this book quickly and wish to re-read it before posting my final review. My initial review was the book was comprehensive, detailed with great facts, and probably a great textbook at the university level for Social Studies courses. The essence of the text is: 1. Exposure of the third-world like poverty in United States, little known to middle and upper-class United States Citizens. Description of who is experiencing poverty in USA. Description of the type of poverty within U.S.A. 2. Descriptions of the post World War II Welfare (USA Tax financed more than 50% of USA tax income) state in United States. Great descriptions of U.S.A. Welfare programs. 3. Description of the generational poverty created by the government's financing of welfare (social support for the poor: TANF, EBT, LEAP, Medicaid, Medicare, Social Security, etc. - paid for by more than 50% of all USA tax income). The need for additional programs (or better supported, expanded programs) within the welfare programs to bring USA citizens out of the cycle of generational poverty and into "sustainable" self-support. 4. Need for additional support (financial, operational and structural infrastructure) of the USA citizens in most need: Native American Indians (near 30-50% impoverished differing sources) and African Americans (near 22-35% impoverished differing sources). Anglo Saxons have the largest population of third world like poverty within USA, however, the percentage of Anglo Saxons in poverty is only 13-14%. As of 2010 about half of those living in poverty are non-Hispanic white (19.6 million). Non-Hispanic white children comprised 57% of all poor rural children. The US Census declared that in 2014 14.8% of the general population lived in poverty: 10.1% of all white non-Hispanic persons, 12.0% of all Asian persons, 23.6% of all Hispanic persons (of any race), 26.2% of all African American persons, 28.3% of Native Americans / Alaska Natives Keep reading about Poverty and Third-World like living of USA Homeless within USA. Support programs to end malnutrition, end homelessness, train and employ USA citizens toward "sustainability" (financial, educational, social, etc.) and
