D#3, HW#2, Research Question

To narrow my research topic to a research question, I wrote down several different questions about my topic. This allowed me to think about what I wanted my question to say and what message I wanted to get across to the reader. I selected the one that seemed most appropriate, and refined it from there. I refined it by trying better words in place of the original ones, and came up with this question. Although the government of the United States of America provides welfare for their citizens, what more can be done to aid those in poverty?
