Midwest Poverty
The article entitled, "Poverty in America: In the Midwest, a forever recession," discusses a video by Alan Berube which focuses on the "reemergence of concentrated poverty in America." In the video, Mr. Berube states that the recession is still effecting many cities in the Midwest (which I did not know was up for debate), and also says the region is struggling to keep up with the coasts. He talks about how General Motors, Ford, and Chrysler are making comebacks because of smarter operation strategies, and that other cities in the Midwest need to take notice and start forming smarter systems. Although the process may take a long time, it will prevent a large portion of the country from decaying.

It is a shame how poverty in America has hit an all time high. The poverty rate is an ongoing issue in our nation, that created from other problems such as unemployment. Then our economy is negatively affected, thus putting our nation in trouble. Creating financial crisis's that are difficult to recover from.
