The Task Force on Poverty of the Center for American Progress has identified new solutions to address the fact that too many Americans are living on the edge in today's economy. Thirty-seven million Americans are poor and millions more struggle each month to pay for basic necessities. The Task Force calls for a national goal to cut poverty in half in 10 years and proposes a strategy to reach the goal.
