"What was hard to survive was Johnson’s Great Society, where they decided to put money — where they decided to take the Black father out of the household to get a check in the mail. And you can now measure that in unemployment and crime and devastation.”

Home-run hitter. The secret ingredient to the US success has been the nuclear family.

 

[there4eyeM]

Not exactly a secret.

What have we gotten?

People being able to house and feed their families, healthcare, Educational grants, small business loans, urban enterprise zones…..

What have we gotten out of the tens of trillions we have spent on the military other than wars half way around the world ?

I would rather spend tax dollars on helping Americans than nation building around the world

In other words bupkis and a permanent underclass.

Not really…..helping those who need help

What have Republicans done for those in poverty other than build more prisons and send their jobs overseas?

So what have democrats done? Look at CA and NYC. AOC chased Amazon's HQ2 to VA keeping a blighted area instead of having a new modern complex and 75,000 new well paying jobs, plus about $30b a year in NY state taxes.

And we live off of foreign slaves to achieve all of this. The real inconvenient truth.

Guess what?

AOC is a Congress member in DC
She has no say in local business investments

AOC led the opposition, and celebrated HQ2's departure to VA. She prefers squalor and blight.

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Celebrated Amazon Pulling Out of New York––But the Governor Says It Cost the City 25,000 Jobs

The spat lays bare a growing divide ahead of presidential primaries over corporate ties

[rightwinger]

Tim Scott plays the typical GOP agenda of claiming that poverty programs only help minorities in city ghettos

In fact, his own state is in the bottom ten percent in the country in terms of poverty. Most of it in rural areas. Cutting those programs will hurt his own people.

AOC acted like any other citizen in opposing $2.8 billion in tax breaks for the wealthiest corporation in the world.

She had no vote in the ultimate decision

The systemic disincentive to maintain families as had always been one society's principal functions must be re-examined and modified.

And after 60 years the percentage of people in "poverty" in the United States is the same as it was back then.

What we're doing is not working.

60 years ago, people living in urban areas could get jobs where they could start in a low skill position and advance.
Those jobs left the cities and the people behind.

Do you oppose providing food, housing and medical care for those living in poverty?

So isn't that what we should be fixing?

Do you oppose providing food, housing and medical care for those living in poverty?

Not for all, but for most, yes, because the vast majority of people end up where they are in life based on their own decisions.

Why aren’t Republicans bringing good jobs in those communities? They would vote Republican forever.

Instead they won’t even enter urban communities
