. "Income, Poverty and Health Insurance Coverage in the United States: 2010." , 13 Sep 2011. Web. 14 Feb. 2013.
The Census Bureau stated the amount of people in poverty by race and origin, and the difference between between 2009 and 2010. This may show how people were wealthy and over a year end up in poverty. The reason why this issue may have become this way may be because of different reasons, mainly because of decisions. The main influence on this problem and it's future would be to help these people in poverty to get back on their feet and make the right choices that aren't going to lead them back into poverty, but to have a better outcome for their lives.

This source explains what poverty is, and how poverty affects people and their daily lives. People who are living in poverty can't afford food which makes them lack from nutrition in their system. The reason why this source helps out the reasons of poverty is because it explains thoroughly what people go through when in poverty and how they can't make decisions that others have opportunities of, they have to live and sacrifice with what they have. People in working neighbors work to find solutions to help improve the causes of the people in poverty.

This source explains how poverty is described to be a decision making control of people. People have a hard time deciding what choices that they'd rather choose which leads them in the wrong paths leaving most of them in poverty if they have no support. Statistics and evidence prove that poverty makes it even harder for people to escape it. Many people in poverty have a hard time dealing with money, making wrong decisions because they don't have the same wealth as others do.http://www.newrepublic.com/article/environment-energy/89377/poverty-escape-psychology-self-control#
Cartagena, Amanda. "Interviewed Chelsea Dawn." , 13 Feb 2013. Web. 13 Feb 2013.
I interviewed Mrs. Dawn from the W.I.C office over the phone and I asked her questions about people in poverty. The main question I had for her was "Why do you think people in poverty have a hard time making decisions?", she replied "People in poverty have a hard time making decisions because they don't exactly know what they want, almost as if they don't set goals out for themselves which is why they have a hard time leaving poverty." As she explained thoroughly it helped me have a better understanding to why so many people are in poverty because of decisions that they make.
