Myth-Busting: First, please choose one of the ‘myths’ related to poverty and welfare that is discussed in Ch.3 (there seem to be many…). Describe this myth, and then use information in the text to debunk the myth of your choosing. Please add two citations for your discussion of the myth from chapter 3. (So for example, there is a common myth that people whom experience financial hardships do so because they have bad spending habits…but the data in the text suggests those living under the poverty line spend something like 90% of their income on housing and basic necessities…not shoes or TV’s or cars).
